Dyspnea, hock sitting position
Clinical description:
This image was taken 3 days post experimental inoculation with highly pathogenic avian influenza. This bird is open-mouth breathing, a sign of dyspnea. Although respiratory signs are generally less pronounced in HPNAI versus LPNAI, signs will vary with the extent of tracheal involvement and mucous accumulation. Birds that survive 3-7 days, as seen here, may also exhibit nervous sings. This bird is unable to stand and is demonstrating an abnormal posture of standing on its hocks.
