This bird was acting abnormally this morning. He was sitting on his hocks with his head hanging and responded only when touched. Did become agitated when handled for fluids. Blood was collected. Blood glucose was 187 mg/dL.
When the bird was checked throughout the day, he was unusual docile and did not responded minimally to being touched or ausculted.
