Aminoacidopathy:
Any disorder caused by defect in an enzymatic step in amino acid metabolism e.g. Albinism (Tyrosinase)

Ataxia:
Abnormal movement/wobble when walking. Impaired balance and coordination. 3 types - proprioception, vestibular syndrome, cerebellar issues
Botulism:
A paralytic condition caused by the digestion of toxins from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. The production of the toxin is favoured in warm water (wetland, summer) and mostly affects aquatic birds such as ducks and geese.
Mydriasis:
Dilated pupils
Nystagmus:
Involuntary, uncontrolled eye movements
Organic acidurias/acidemias:
Inborn errors of organic acid metabolism due to accumulation of abnormal (and toxic) organic acid metabolites and increased excretion of organic acids in urine
Otitis:
Ear infection and inflammation
Papillomatosis:
Viral, contagious infection causing pink, fleshy warts on body areas. Hyperplasia/enlargement of contiguous dermal papillae.
Permethrin spot-on toxicity (PSO):
Permethrin is a medication used to treat lice and mites, and is often administered as a liquid that is applied onto one spot on the body e.g. between shoulders, hence 'spot-on'. PSO occurs when the animal has been exposed to too much permethrin. Cats can get PSO as the permethrin used in lice/scabies treatments for dogs are toxic to cats.
Ptyalism:
excessive saliva
Abnormal movement/wobble when walking. Impaired balance and coordination. 3 types - proprioception, vestibular syndrome, cerebellar issues
Botulism:
A paralytic condition caused by the digestion of toxins from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. The production of the toxin is favoured in warm water (wetland, summer) and mostly affects aquatic birds such as ducks and geese.
Cyanosis:
Bluish colour of skin, nails, lips, gums. There are enteral and peripheral types.
Feline Herpesvirus (FVH):
A contagious infection causing conjunctival, corneal, and upper respiratory diseases in cats.
Flaccid paralysis:
Neurological paralysis causing weak, floppy limbs

Gingivitis:
Inflammation of gums (gingiva = part of gum at base of teeth)
Inflammation of gums (gingiva = part of gum at base of teeth)
Hygroma (elbow):
Fluid-filled growth over elbow joint due to pressure. Starts small/soft/moveable but can get large/hard from inflammatory response. Can get ulcer/abscess if large enough.

Hyperthyroidism:
An endocrine disease of a deficiency in thyroid hormones (T4) causing decreased metabolic rate. Underactive thyroid. Low T4 (from thyroid gland) and high TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone from pituitary gland). Symptoms - obesity/hair loss/otitis/lethargy

Inflammation of mouth/lips affecting mucous membranes
