Treating Seizures in Amazon Parrots

Seizures affect a variety of birds including the Amazon parrot, African grey parrots, budgies, canaries, finches and lovebirds. When a parrot or bird has a seizure he may fall from his perch, act disoriented, restless, agitated, and may even go into sporadic convulsions. If this happens to your Amazon parrot, call your veterinarian North Phoenix, AZ right away. Your vet may run a variety of tests to determine a cause for the seizure. If an underlying cause is found then treatment will start there. For instance, if a vitamin deficiency is discovered, your vet will most likely treat that first. Your vet may also treat the seizure directly through medication. Please note that there is not a specific cure for seizures. Most treatments are used in an effort to lessen the occurrence and severity of seizures. Always ask your vet additional questions if you are unsure about a treatment or diagnosis.
