Surgery report |
Procedure - Wound debridement | Performed by - Dr. Ritzman | Surgery time - 45 minutes | Traumatic Tail Base Laceration/Wound with Extension to Right
Lateral Body:
Patient placed in dorsal recumbency initially and laceration
area was prepared sterilly. The laceration is deep and extends
to right lateral and dorsal caudal back.
The muscle tissue was gently debrided and the margins of the
laceration were refreshed with #15 blade and the new margins
of the tissue appeared healthy.
Flushed with sterile saline prior to closure.
4-0 and 3-0 Ethilon were used to close dermis as the subcuticular
tissues were too soft to hold suture.
Moderate tension present on the incision line but acceptable.
Vent was identified with qtip inserted during surgery.
The ventral aspect of the laceration, sutured closed with simple
continuous pattern with several simple interrupted suture pattern.
Bird was then rotated to sternal position and the remainder
of the incision was sutured with 3-0 Ethilon for dermis in simple
continuous pattern with several simple interrupted sutures.
Patient had regular heart rate throughout entire surgery period.
At time of stopping anesthesia and extubation however, patient
experienced cardiac and respiratory arrest. CPR was attempted
and was unsuccessful. Patient was determined deceased.

------------- PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS ---------------- Head Behavior and Neuro: BAR Mouth: clear Body Pelvis: large (~6 in long, ~3 in wide) deeply wounded area on the bird's lower R back that extends along the pelvis and ends at the vent. Looks similar to a predator attack. Exposed muscle. Vent: vent is intact, but the large wound on lower R side of body extends with ~1 cm of vent Body condition score: 4 Fat: Keel Wings Left wing: NSF, full ext Right wing: No fx palpated, full ext; however, I felt clicking at the shoulder. Would like to get rads tomorrow if time. Right humerus: dorsal R shoulder has scabby area and squishy hematoma. Legs Left leg: NSF, full ext Right leg: NSF, full ext Ectoparasites: none seen
Young OSPR found in a parking lot not flying. Tried to fly and flipped onto back. CD captured and triaged overnight - reported that bird had a R wing droop and R shoulder/lower pelvis-vent wounds. Bird was reactive to touch so administered torb. Vent area wounds were very dirty and deep. Flushed and scrubbed area with chlorhex, applied generous coating of SSD and covered with telfa/tega bandage. No obvious leaking from hematoma at R shoulder, so left uncovered. Bird was getting stressed, so opted to give fluids and set up in KR2 kennel with towel. Perched right away. Start antibiotics tomorrow and a small amount of fish.
TREATMENTS GIVEN 0.26 ml butorphanol tartrate IM 35 ml LRS SQ L leg
