Newton Sparks, [17 Sep 2022 at 16:32:11]: Good day. What would be the typical progression of symptoms be in an ostrich with Botulism? I would assume the amount of toxin would affect the timespan for deterioration. I have one that presented unable to stand 3 days ago and now not able to lift the head. No parasites on flotation. Didn't appear to be an impaction. Henry Labuschagne, [18 Sep 2022 at 01:02:10]: Sounds like botulism. Check eye blinking reflex and swallowing reflex. Newton Sparks, Can normal botulism vaccine be used in ostriches? Henry Labuschagne, [19 Sep 2022 at 12:17:13]: Yes. You can also vaccinate with Covexin for other Clostridia sp.
