ABSTRACT
Falling, abnormal stances and abnormal movements are not signs of specific diseases, but can be caused by numerous things, including orthopedic abnormalities like arthritis, fractures or luxations, cardiovascular diseases, neurological problems, egg binding, hypocalcemia, gout or pododermatitis/bumblefoot. Anamnesis, physical examination and further diagnostics are aimed at diagnosing or ruling out intoxications, egg binding, hypocalcemia, and orthopedic conditions like arthritis, fractures and dislocations, gout, neoplasia and pododermatitis. Sick birds are stabilized using heat, nutrition, fluid therapy and oxygen. Oxygen is indicated in case of dyspnea and when cardiovascular disease cannot be ruled out. Anamnesis, physical examination and further diagnostics are aimed at diagnosing or ruling out intoxications, egg binding, hypocalcemia and orthopedic conditions like arthritis, fractures and dislocations, gout, neoplasia and pododermatitis.
