2018-10-25 13:13 des

Keel score: 3.5
Necropsy:
In very good body condition withe keel 3.5 and abdominal fat.
Female
Massive Aspergillosis infection. Right thoracic air sac very thick and tan. 3-5 mm bull's eye lesions on all serosal surfaces of body wall and most organs. Massive 3 cm leather granuloma with active fungal growth behind the heart over left lung. Multiple lesions in the lung.
Spleen was huge - about 8-9 mm spherical.
Massive green fungal growth in right caudal abdomen over kidney. Kidneys have multiple punctate lesions.
Liver was very large, especially left lobe and right lobe had a few rough, masses projecting from the surface. 
Large friable mass about 1 cm in diameter over the cloaca. It looked like a chronic blood clot.

Probabably one of the worst Asper cases I have seen. Very surprising that bird was in such good body condtion.
