Seizures within the avian world

A seizure is a spontaneous, uncontrolled, neurological activity. A bird might be twitching, paddling or convulsing. Seizures may be mild, generalized or partial. Mild seizures last a short period of time. The bird may appear disoriented and unable to perch. Generalized seizures are more severe. The bird loses consciousness, vocalizes and flaps its wings uncontrollably. Partial seizures are characterized by a continuous twitching of a wing or leg.
A variety of causes may trigger seizures such as, disease in the brain, head trauma, low blood sugar, low blood calcium, metabolic problems, toxins and an inherited predisposition. The bird should be placed in a quiet dark box and taken to a veterinarian immediately. Injectable medicine - such as valium - will be given to stop the seizures. Blood tests will be taken to try to determine the cause of the seizure. Antibiotics, fluids and glucose may be administered to stabilize the bird.

Strokes
My studies are showing strokes within the avian world are very similar to what the human endures.
The number one cause but not limited to be the lack of blood flow to the brain, and or in-adequate blood flow to the brain.
Avian specialists are finding low levels of Glucose in blood test’s of birds that are experiencing Seizures and or Strokes.
