Neurological emergencies pose particular challenges in avian medicine. This session discusses the recognition of seizures, initial stabilizing care, and diagnostic pathways toward identifying underlying causes.

Aims:
– Recognize clinical features of seizures in avian patients
– Learn emergency stabilization protocols and safety considerations
– Develop diagnostic and therapeutic plans for neurologic disorderse

Preparation material:
