ABSTRACT:
A veterinary oral speculum for use with a bird is a rod having a cut away portion formed in a first longitudinal surface near one end of the rod and defining a handle at the opposite end of the rod. A slotted hole is formed in an opposite second longitudinal surface of the rod. The slotted hole and the cut-away portion are opposed to and communicate with one another and form a through opening in the rod. The speculum is inserted between the mandibles of the bird, rotated through 90.degree. and slid within the mouth of the bird so that the slotted hole is oriented inwardly toward the bird, the cut away portion is oriented outwardly from the bird and the through opening is oriented between the mandibles as a window such that oral access to the bird is gained by the through opening.
