Did you know that cockatoos are prone to seizures or epileptic episodes? In fact, seizure activity can be found in a  variety of bird species including budgies, Amazon parrots, African greys, finches, and lovebirds just to name a few. 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 Cockatoo, call your vet. 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. Most treatments are used in an effort to lessen the occurrence and severity of seizures. Always ask your veterinarian Doylestown, PA additional questions if you are unsure about a treatment or diagnosis.
