Band me

BARP, but leaning forward on perch. Feisty and bitey. Keel at 2.5 and banded. Anesthetized under 3% iso for PT. Bird gets great extension, but fx site still feels mobile. Difficult to palpate due to proximity to joint. Reapplied splint with some padding around phalange and paper tape securing SAM splint + fig 8. Per Dr. G, continue plan. L elbow was a bit thickened today, potentially from wrap being tight. Weight was not recorded. Bird is just under a 3, inc FIC. NOLO.
