edema, hemorrhages
Clinical description:
In the exudative diathesis form of vitamin E deficiency, capillary walls become abnormally permeable and leak fluid and red blood cells. This fluid typically accumulates along the ventrum of the bird. Here, the thorax and abdomen have subcutaneous edema and hemorrhage. The greenish-blue discoloration is caused by hemoglobin breakdown from the leaking red blood cells.
