Iron storage disease (ISD) with concurrent hepatic Lipidosis (HL) in a mynah (Gracula spp.)

An 8-year-old male mynah (Gracula spp.) was presented for depression, anorexia, and respiratory distress. The patient`s diet consisted of sponge cake and yogurt alone. Physical examination revealed high body condition score (4/5), abdominal distention, and severe orthopnea. Hepatomegaly was observed on abdominal radiographs. The patient died 4 h after presentation, and severe hepatomegaly was observed at necropsy. Based on histopathological findings, the bird was definitively diagnosed with iron storage disease with concurrent hepatic lipidosis.
