Weight change: +15 g (2 %)
Food: 48 g ck (+ vit + Ca)
Vet check: L shoulder wound
Wound care/bandage change: L shoulder - clean & silver gel L dorsal humerus

BARP, flying around, vocal. NOLO.

VET NOTES
BAR and extremely vocal. No notes this week about wound care. The dorsal L humerus wound is scabbed but the scab is coming off at the perimeter. Easily exfoliates, still raw under the scab. The dorsal wing edge is also lightly scabbed but very superficial.
Flushed and applied Silver-gel. This wound will require continued treatment until healed because there is a lot of movement in that area when wing flexes and extends.
Picture attached. Continue wound care every 2-3 days.
OK to d/c antibiotics and Meloxicam and change to SID. Dr Gardner

Weight: 741 grams
Weight change: +1 g (0 %)
Assessed due to concern for wounds on the back of the left wing.
Anesthetized and intubated in case surgical intervention was necessary.

Examined the dorsal left humerus - there is a linear wound consistent with being caught in netting. It is scabbed and there is also a thick scab at the leading edge of the wing.
Cleaned both, removed scabs to reveal shallow, mostly healed wound. No bony or tendon exposure, healing well.
Left open and applied Silver Gel.
Abrasion on left medial foot resolved down to 2 small scabs.
Continue care every 3-4 days. Will recheck in 1 week. Dr Gardner
