Attempted flight eval. Bird was on ground and defensive when I entered. Bird did attempt to fly stright up to ceiling but would not land on perch. When I tried to get closer bird just became more defensive. Will schedule bird to move to slightly larger enclosure to see if getting some distance from people will encourage to fly rather than stay defensive on ground.

Bird is BAR and aggressive. The cere wound is scabbed and looks quiet. Most significant is OD - the ulcer is still very extensive, about 1/3 of the latero-dorsal aspect of the cornea. Anestetized to debride the edges of the cornea with a damp Q-tip - had to intubate and anesthetize deeply to abolish the corneal reflex. Hoping that the debridement helps, but this is considered an indolent ulcer at this point.
P: D/c Ketorolac and start on Meloxicam BID. Eye drops should be TID. Recheck in a week- if no improvement will attetmpt a 3rd eyelid patch for eye. Dr Gardner
