After looking them up, they are diseases that each lab test for, mostly affecting farm livestock (pigs, cattle,etc.) ND is Newcastles disease affecting chickens. VSV is a virus affecting cattle, horse, and pigs. If you contact the closest labs, they can tell you what tests are done on poultry.
I see. Thanks much. ^-^
I completely agree. Even if you don't have an avian vet (or one who sees chickens) doing good research and checking with other people in your state (over in the state thread) can help. Our necropsies, here in Texas are $250. Make sure you read how to prepare your bird for a necropsy. I failed to do that and they were unable to tell me anything, so I lost my money and still didn't have an answer. Being prepared BEFORE an emergency (even having your chicken first aid kit ready) is much better when you are panicked, shocked, and unable to think clearly. Not to mention the seconds, minutes and hours your chicken suffers because you weren't prepared. Absolutely not pointing any fingers here because I was that chicken owner at one time. I like that @Wyorp Rock called regular vets to see if any of them see chickens. I actually have two real close to me but once I found the Avian vet I knew we were in better hands. It is truly amazing to me that they not only aren't teaching chickens in vet school but that more vets aren't seeking out more education on it because they could make a good amount of money from backyard chicken owners. The mindset comes from the past "why take it to the doctor, we have 10 others and we can replace this one easily". Too many of us love our chickens like some people love their cats and dogs....and let me tell you I became the butt of the jokes of the old timers around here when they found out I took my rooster to the vet. Thankfully, I love humour, and bantered right back at them, explaining it's incredibly hard to find an amazing rooster but if any of you men were mine, I could easily replace you!
You should have heard the laughter and coughs comin out of those sweet geezers! Love those guys. 
Wow, that's awesome your vet gave you that info. More info to help. I went and looked and though it has fewer ones then the Avian vet, I did find a poultry dvm that i could drive too. Thank you so much for sharing.
Listed on the avian vet site and saw birds just now fowl.
It'll certainly cut down on the number of panicked emails and phone calls I make to her.Wow, that's awesome your vet gave you that info. More info to help.
