Weight is way down.

Anesthetized with iso via mask. Wound looks great. Fully granulated but still quite large.
No maggots or fly eggs. ROM is not great but did improve a bit. Very dangerous to push it in such a young bird. Did not get rad as I don't think it will show much.
Dressed with SSD + adapatic + tega. No wing wrap.
Will need to watch for a droop
