Bird is BAR in habitat but really unable to fly. He flaps a little and glides slightly, but really no lift. When approached, he lifts the left wing but the right wing stays pretty much mid-body. It is obvious that the shoulder is not healing. Brought inside and anesthetized for radiographs. Pellet is still in the shoulder, in much the same area. There is definitely a fracture associated, I think it is either a small piece of the coracoid, or the clavicle near articulation with the shoulder. Also severe muscle atrophy in right shoulder. After discussion with staff I decided that the options were another attempt to retrieve the pellet, or euthanasia. See surgical notes:
Prognosis is still guarded, but my hope is that he will be less painful with the pellet (and debris) gone. We still may need to do a lot of PT because there is so much muscle atrophy. Dr Gardner

Surgery report |
Procedure - Pellet removal | Performed by - Dr G | Surgery time - 30 minutes | While in the radiology room placed two 23 ga needles to try to
pin-point area of pellet. Preserving the needles, moved upstairs
and placed bird in sternal recumbency. Incised through skin of
shoulder dorsal and slightly caudal to point of shoulder, this
is the area that seemed most likely to be the location of the
pellet.
Bluntly dissected muscle in that location and located a thin
bone there. However, I was able to dissect just behind that bone
and there was a bit of a divot that I thought I could see gray
through. After a little more blunt dissection I was able to grab
the end of the pellet with hemostats and pull it out, along with
some debris and feathers. Explored the pocket a bit more and
pellet out a large piece of exudate, then some smaller pieces
of debris. I was afraid to flush directly into the pocket in
case of penetration to the thorax or the air sacs, but wet some
sterile Q-tips and debrided the pocket well, removing some smaller
pieces of debris.
Dribbled 0.05 ml of Lidocaine over surgery site (muscle and skin
- avoiding pocket).
Oppposed muscles with 4-0 PDS in a horizontal mattress pattern.
Closed skin w/ a Ford Interlocking pattern, 4-0 PDS.
Post-op radiographs showed a bit of a deficit in the area that
the pellet was in, and the fracture fragment appeared to have
sunken down a bit ventrally.
Placed a figure-8 with a body wrap to immobilize right shoulder.
Bandage change and PT under anesthesia every 3 days for at least
a week, at that point can try to leave off but should continue
PT aggressively for at least 2 weeks to prevent the shoulder
from stiffening. Dr Gardner |

Recheck Incision, Right Shoulder, Blood Collection for CBC: Patient was placed under brief general Isoflurane anesthesia for exam and suture removal and blood collection to aid in minimizing stress level.
Respiratory effort in the carrier box observed prior to restraint showed bird to have relatively normal respiratory effort, perhaps very slight increase in effort but no audible abnormal sounds.
Ausculatation of heart and air sacs under anesthesia was normal.
Incision on right dorsal shoulder area has healed excellent. Remaining skin sutures were removed. ROM checked for right shoulder, compared to left shoulder and right shoulder does have mild reduced ROM compared to normal side. Eblow and carpus on right side are normal with extension.
Patient recovery from anesthesia was normal.
Assessment: Right shoulder joint, reduced ROM and mobility, mild, compared to normal side (left).
Plan: Transfer to larger enclosure to see how patient does with flight and use of the right wing. Continue medications at this time.

Surgery report |
Procedure - Pellet removal | Performed by - Dr. Ritzman | Surgery time - 35 minutes | Surgical Attempt at Lead Pellet Removal, Right Shoulder Area:
Patient placed under general anesthesia and positioned in dorsal
recumbency. The area of the right shoulder and thoracic inlet
on the right side was prepared for sterile surgery. A focal
incision was made with #15 blade over the area of the proximal
right corocoid bone (this approach was chosen based on radiography
findings).
Gentle blunt dissection performed with saline soaked q tips and
small hemostats to divide between the muscle and soft tissues
of this area.
The proximal right corocoid was identified. Extensive palpation
and visual exam did not reveal the lead pellet.
Small bone ronguers were used to gently scrape and remove surface
layer of bone of the proximal corocoid. It was still not possible
to identify or find the pellet. After exam in this area it was
decided to stop surgery and close the area to avoid undue trauma
to the tissues in this area.
Sterile saline flush then closure with 4-0 vicryl in simple continuous
pattern for subcuticular tissues, subdermal layer and then dermis
with simple continous pattern. Small amount of tissue adhesive
placed along dermis incision line.
Light padded figure 8 to body wrap was performed to support the
wing for a few days post op.
Sutures can be removed in 10-14 days.
Blood lead retest performed today.
Patient recovery from anesthesia was uneventful and normal.

Remove lead shot? Blood: CBC PCV/TS lead cbc if extra blood, discuss lead if higher than last test PT: Right shoulder, flex/ extend, make notes about stiffness - under anesthesia
Bird has not been seen flying but perching and overall doing well. Brought inside for PT, decided to do sedated radiographs if doing well under anesthesia. Went down very easily and without any dyspnea; no raspiness heard. Radiographs: Shoulder pellet is more distinct, appears to be more dorsal to shoulder (or maybe just because inflammation is decreased). There looks like there is a bone chip just dorsal to the shoulder associated with the pellet - difficult to tell which bone it is from. Some muscle atrophy noted in R shoulder. PT went well, good ROM, there is a little "popping" but seems more just like tendons rather than any instability.
I think I can feel where the pellet is - but opted to not explore because Tracey had suggested doing so when she scopes. Drew blood for PCV/ TS, lead. Lead is up, PCV down so suggested starting oral chelation. Recheck for scoping Wednesday depending on patient's CBC. My thought is that if it is improving should we scope? Would scoping be a good way to follow success of treatment? Patient was put into a covered mew for more protection. He was taken off Voriconazole so I put him back on. My impression is at treatment should be past clinical cure. Dr Gardner

Weight: 1182 grams Went to check bird outside after he was moved. He is on the ground and making no attempt at this time to move off the ground. Also he does not extend the right wing at the shoulder much at all when approached.
This bird has two major problems to be addressed: 1. Right wing - pellet in shoulder likely causing pain and inflammation, also unknown damage to area from bullet tract, which is unknown. 2. Extremely high WBC and respiratory stridor when handled (I did not observe today but am told is still present).
There is a possibility that we could resolve the Aspergillosis with treatment, but it would likely be long-term. Without knowledge of a lesion, I would treat until the WBC are close to normal, which could be quite some time.
However, we need to make sure that the shoulder can heal as well, and that can't wait. My recommendation is to start to do PT under anesthesia, acknowledging that there is risk due to respiratory compromise. If the shoulder is stiff or it doesn't seem like it will heal, we should likely euthanize this bird.
Will put on PT every 2-3 days for now. Also, will email Sunny regarding this bird to see if she can arrange with Tracey to scope him Wednesday, or if she even thinks that is necessary. I would like to try to explore the shoulder and remove the bullet in a week, if he does well otherwise. Continue all meds for now. Dr Gardner

Blood collected and samples prepared on Sat, 9/7. These slides are much more representative and the one I stained has much better views than those collected on 9/4. Didn't collect PCV/TS at this time, scheduled with repeat lead test on 9/12. Left shifted hets are still present. Toxic markers are very minimal if present - may need a vet to look at images, can't say definitively if toxic vs normal. Hemoproteus infection is resolved. Much fewer poikilocytes present; most of slide appears normal in that regard.

Weight: 1128 grams, Keel score: 2.0, Leftovers: 0 Bird is BAR and quite feisty. We discussed this case before handling and decided to see if we could get radiographs with mild sedation but no anesthesia. Initially took bird out and ausculted - there was audible breathing initially, and a mild inspiratory wheeze that improved as the bird calmed down. Gave Butorphanol 0.22 ml IM/ Midazolam 0.22 ml IN 30 minutes later bird was slightly sedate but still fairly alert. We decided to try hooding him, and that allowed for enough sedation that we were able to do a VD and a lateral radiograph with feet being held, wings held for lateral view. Radiographs reveal that bird was shot - there is a pellet in the right shoulder, and one in the right femur, near the knee, with fragments of shot further proximal on the femur R shoulder palpates thicker than the left and is painful to extend. Examined the bird as thoroughly as possible for bullet wounds but was unable to find any. I think it is likely that the ballistic trauma is causing the respiratory issues - possibly there is some thoracic trauma or trauma to the air sacs. Aspergillus is still a possibility, because it often occurs secondary to penetrating wounds. P: Continue Voriconazole. Add Enrofloxacin, as well as Meloxicam. Monitor closely. Would like to have Tracey at least evaluate the case Wednesday to see if she thinks it is worth attempting scoping of air sacs or trachea. Will put down to move out, also d/c PT for now as shoulder is painful. NOTE: Except initially bird's breathing was fairly normal during handling. Dr Gardner

BARP, hopped off perch and clung to side of kennel. Attempted sedation for radiographs and blood work but bird was still highly reactive. Removed body wrap. Drew blood from L basilic vein for PCV/TS/CBC. Took oral swab for analysis. Breathing was normal until bird was in hand. When on table, much more labored. Skipped rads for now. Gave meds and dropped AM food. NOLO. Decided to leave wing unwrapped to observe. When put back, bird perched and slightly drooped wing, but righted self.
CBC notes: Blood is mildly translucent in hematocrit tube and very thin. Buffy coat is 3-4% but strongly red tinted, at least 1% visible not affected by hemolysis. Serum is strictly clear with possibly a slight cloudy tint, no fat sitting on top. Slides are difficult to read due to thin blood. Original slides have no adequate views for a total count but appear high. Made a thicker slide from green top collection tube and took total count from there but unsure how much anticoagulant may have affected it; significantly lower than original appeared. Will give iron IM with treatment tonight.
Buffy coat - red/pink tint may indicate presence of banded cells. 3-4% confirmed

Perched and jumpy when we opened the door for treatment. Whole Q piece is under the perch. Started to wheeze before being handld and had wet raspy breathes while being handled. It did subside when the bird calmed down after having the head towel over his eyes and breathing returned to a more normal rate. Wing wrap is still present.

Perched and quiet. No signs of wheezing or heavy breathing. Once handled the bird started to have audible wet breathing. It decreased once the head towel was gone but never stopped completely while in hand. Found 6 small ticks on his face, removed all. R wing does droop and was worse when placed back in kennel, with it resting on the perch. Force fed 1 of 2 mice and left the second on the perch.
