However, the presence of LA in the human body is associated with an increased risk of developing inappropriate blood clots. Importantly, lupus anticoagulant itself does not cause bleeding in the body. There is no single test for the detection of lupus anticoagulant and it cannot be measured directly. The presence of LA is usually determined by using a panel of sequential tests for which there is no standardization.
On the one hand, a cockatiel may suddenly die with no symptoms at all. As alarming as that it is, it can and does happen. Anytime a bird is showing signs of illness, however, that should be taken seriously as it is possible the bird could end up critically ill and dying.he signs of severe illness in a bird are weight loss (you'll feel the breastbone sticking out like a knife blade), sitting fluffed on the bottom of the cage, a decrease in activity and vocalizations, refusing to eat, and labored breathing (often shown by tail-bobbing).
Even though your cockatiel is a warm-weather bird, she cannot withstand extreme heat any better than she can tolerate extreme cold. Never leave a cockatiel in a car, even when the weather is temperate outside, for instance. If you take the cage out on the patio during the spring or summer, don't place her in a spot with direct sunlight. Doing so can put her in danger of overheating, dehydrating and possibly dying.
