Abstract
Wild birds commonly are presented with trauma at wildlife clinics and rehabilitation centers. Trauma can affect multiple body systems including the nervous system. Since specific diagnosis of nervous system injuries is more difficult compared to other body system injuries and may require advanced imaging, individuals often are treated symptomatically. This retrospective study focused on wild birds that presented with primary neurologic signs after a confirmed or presumed impact injury (vehicular trauma, window collision, or wire strike). The case outcomes, mean number of days in rehabilitation prior to release, and most commonly affected species were identified from data collected by Tri–State Bird Rescue and Research, Inc., (TSBRR) over 10 years. Further studies could be done to investigate the influence of species, type and severity of neurologic signs, and different treatment modalities on case outcomes and duration of treatment.
