These signs may be compatible with PDD (proventricular dilatation disease), which can be due to a viral infection. A check up should be performed as soon as possible to rule out this clinical condition and treat appropriately. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
