BAR. Flying well. Bearing full weight but still favors left foot and it is sometimes a little pigeon-toed.

Anesthetized with iso via mask. Feet look great. Perfect ROM in hocks and stifles.
Fixation solid and pins clean.
Rad shows complete healing. Definitely some disruption to the tendons on the lateral aspect of the left TBT. That might be part of the reason he is having some trouble with that leg.
Removed all implants. IM pins very tight. Cross pins loose.

Perching but not bearing full weight on left leg. Doesn't seem to be clinching left foot as much as right foot. Left leg is still rotated medially but not as severely as before.

Anesthetized with iso via mask. Cleaned and applied BNP to pin sites. On both legs, there is little to no room between the medial side bars and the skin. Very difficult to clean or even evaluate. Replaced velcro wrap.
Feet looked good. The left foot might have had some areas that were slightly discolored but they had good texture and it could have just been a soiled area.

Mutes++. Vent a little dirty. Feather tips still in good shape.
Pellet had stag beetle parts in it.

Anesthetized with iso via mask. Cleaned all pins. Fixation solid and swelling is reduced but still swelling on medial side on both legs. Applied BNP. Covered both with vetwrap.
Shoes intact so did not replace

Left distal leg from hock down seems somewhat loose. Applied padded wrap and then metal coathanger sidebars form TBT fixation to stabilize the joint at a comfortable angle.

Cleaned vent. Slow recovery.

Surgery report
Procedure - Fracture repair - tibiotarsus
Performed by - des
Surgery time - 20 minutes

Medial approach. Found bone ends quickly. About 2 cm of overlap
that was a bit difficult to reduce. The fx is a short/long oblique.
Flushed and placed IM pin from fx, exited at knee with joint
fully flexed. Aligned the ends, removed the distal tip and drove
across the fx. Flushed wound and closed in 2 layers (fascia and
skin) with 4-0 vicryl. Distal cross pins very hard to place due
to bone profile so I placed it a more anterior/posterior direction.
In the process, the skin suture tore out so I had to replace
them. The hock was very stiff. Backed out IM pin a bit but that
didnt't help so redrove to original position. There was also
a pretty good lateral rotation of the foot that we had to reduce.
A little PT helped with ROM. Applied BNP to pins and suture line.
Covered suture line with tegaderm. Bent pins, set rotation, and
created siderbars with VTP. Placed foam shoe and covered fixation
with vetwrap. Recovery was quicker this time so gave torb post-op.
