Mean ± SD percentage change in weight-bearing load determined at various time points for 8 green-cheeked conures (Pyrrhura molinae) after injection of MSU into a single tibiotarsal-tarsometatarsal (intertarsal) joint to induce arthritis followed by SC administration of 0.6 mL of liposome vehicle solution (control treatment). The equation used to determine percentage change in weight-bearing load at each time point was as follows: ([mean weight bearing of MSU-injected limb at 0 hours - mean weight bearing of MSU-injected limb at time point]/mean weight bearing of MSU-injected limb at 0 hours) X 100. Higher values indicate greatest change, decreasing the weight bearing on the limb with experimentally induced arthritis. *Value differs significantly (P≤ 0.05) from the value at 0 hours.
