Bird presents QAR, standing in box, eyes squinted. Palpated L femur fx, closed and mobile, dk green/teal bruising. Anaesthetized for better palpation and rads (4% induction, 2% maint). Midshaft, very mobile but unable to align. Got very brief rads. Consulted ME & SC. Decided to set up for now and attempt surgery w Dr Tracey this week.
Oxygen in rads was not flowing so bird started waking before bringing back to exam room. Hard time recovering from 4% ane induction after rads. Very shallow and infrequent breaths, very weak nictitating membrane response. HR relatively slow but steady. Took about 1-2 minutes but breathing resumed normally, slow recovery afterward but no other incidents. Finished tx and set up in KR2 - provided donut but stood, standing normally with R and bearing some weight and gripping towel with L.
