BARP. Grabbed for PT & weigh. Almost immediate full extension, flapping on his own. Wing still droops while unwrapped and he was just moved to R33 and put in a velcro wrap on Weds - left wrap on for now, re eval at next check.

Hopped to back and puffed & clacked at me. Did not use ramp to perch while I could see him.
Veterinary Exam, Left Wing 05/01/2024:
Bird was brought to hospital building for examination of left wing. History of segmental frature of left ulna.
Existing bandage was removed. left wing was palpated. The ulna has very good callous formation palpaable and the ulna palpates stable. There is relatively good range of motion with elbow and carpus but not yet normal.
Review of recent radiograph images from 4/26/24 shows good alignmnet of this segmental frature and visible indication of callous formation starting to develop at both fratures lines.
Recommend placing a velcro wing wrap on this bird today which was done.
Plan: Keep velcro wrap and continue PT. Recheck radiographs can be considered in 1-2 weeks per Dr. G's recommendation.

VET NOTES Brought inside for PT/ recheck radiographs. Maintained under Isoflurane GA at 3% Left ulna fracture shows radiographic signs of healing. The distal fracture fragment is displaced somewhat dorsally but overall alignment of fracture is good and hopefully will result in good anatomical alignment. Bird has only been here 2 weeks and fracture feels slightly rubbery so I think should stay bandaged one more week. PT every 2-3 days. If doing well leave bandage off in about a week. I will recheck in 2 weeks. Dr Gardner

VET NOTES Brought inside for PT and eye check. Anesthetized with Isoflurane, maintained well at 3%. Removed bandage, ROM in elbow and carpus are very good. I can feel callouses but there is still some mobility at the more proximal portion of the fracture. Rewrapped, will probably need a couple more weeks of bandaging at least, since there is still some mobility and we need to see radiographic healing. Eyes appear improved and are of no concern. Radiographs on 4/26. PT every 3 days. Dr Gardner

------------- PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS ---------------- Head Behavior and Neuro: QAR Mouth: clear Nares: clear Cere: nsf Ears: mild brusing in right ear Body Keel and pectoral muscles: nsf Abdomen: nsf Pelvis: nsf Vent: dirty but wnl Body condition score: 2.5 Wings Left wing: blue/green bruising along ulna/radius from wrist to elbow Left ulna and radius: distal healing fracture. Slightly mobile. Right wing: nsf Legs Left leg: nsf Right leg: nsf Feathers: several tipped
History: Bird was found beside the road at night by finders dog and was left there to see if it would fly away. Next day? the bird was still there so finder captured bird and brought into their home and contained in their closet. Bird was offered and potentially ate mealworms. In the picture the finder sent to us, the bird was perched on a stick in their home. Finder transported the bird to us.
Exam: Bird was quiet but alert. Clacked a few times when getting out of box. The bird is a little skinny with a keel of 2.5. Some older mild bruising present in the right ear. The left wing had bright blue and green bruising from the elbow to the wrist as well as swelling. The swelling was mainly present distally. A fracture could be felt about two inches from the elbow but it was not very mobile. No sharp ends could be felt and it was not open. The fracture did feel well aligned but will need rads to confirm. The left eye has some wide spread mild scarring and an old rentinal tear that was healing already. The right eye has a small pit? in the anterior chamber. It appeared to be on the globe but did not pick up stain. A figure 8 wrap was placed on the L wing and bird was put in KR2
Treatment given: 0.25cc Buprenophine IM 25cc LRS SQ 30g m
Plan: Switch to tramadol PO in the morning for pain. Bird will need radiographs to confirm fracture and Dr. Gardner should look at the eyes-specifically OD
