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.
