FREE GUIDE - Common Avian Emergency Presentations

Birds are walking through general practice doors every day — and most GPs have never had a dedicated clinical resource to refer to in the moment.

This free guide covers the seven most common avian emergency presentations you are likely to encounter, giving you the clinical signs and immediate first steps for each one. It is written in plain language, designed for the reality of a busy general practice consult, and formatted to be used on your phone or tablet when you need it most.

What is covered:

• The Sick Bird — clinical signs and immediate stabilisation

• Trauma — classification, distant assessment and first steps

• Crop Stasis — causes, clinical signs and immediate management

• Reproductive Emergencies — dystocia recognition and stabilisation priorities

• Respiratory Emergencies — classification and oxygen first principles

• Neurological Presentations — key differentials and immediate actions

• Abnormal Droppings and Diarrhoea — the complete section including how to distinguish true diarrhoea from polyuria, a full differential table, diagnostic strategy and treatment

This guide is the companion resource to the full Avian Emergency Care Guide, also available in this store. The free guide gives you clinical signs and first steps. The full guide gives you everything else — drug protocols, fluid therapy, diagnostic workups, treatment algorithms and more.
