Right leg: Reduced DPR, otherwise NSF
Feathers: Blood feathers present along keel/trunk
Ectoparasites: Flat flies


Upon intake was lethargic but responsive with OD squinting. Sitting on keel in box. Does not have DPR in either foot but difficult to say if spinal or stress at this time as pt was clutching towel in box. OD appears deflated and overall difficult to visualize retina. Due to OS appearing visual and without significant damage, decided to try tx
