Proventricular Impaction Associated with Nonsuppurative Encephalomyelitis and Ganglioneuritis in Two Canada Geese

Abstract

Two wild Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in an extremely emaciated state and with severe proventricular food impaction also had a nonsuppurative encephalomyelitis and ganglioneuritis. The condition in these two birds was morphologically similar to psittacine proventricular dilatation, a recently identified disease of psittacine birds.
