BAR, standing at front of kennel. Hopped around. NOLO!

Bird is BAR and significantly more active and alert than a week ago. Just started to eat, but quite thin and weight is down.
Radiograph from Monday shows fixator in place and stable.
Anesthetized for wound care and PT.
The distal wing edema is resolved and overall the skin looks good. There is some pulling on the distal pin insertion site when the wing is extended that might mildly impede elbow extension.
Cleaned all 3 pin sites and applied TAB.
Wrapped wing lightly for support and coverage.
Continue PT every 3 days - consider leaving wrap off mid-week to see if he can hold wing up. He tried to flare if with the wrap so obviously can raise it at the shoulder.
Will put FF and fluids only if not eating, but monitor weight closely.
Eye damage is still fairly significant - add Diclofenac BID.
Lead has gone up - added DMSA, recheck in 1 week.
Move out when weight increases.

Standing but very quiet in cage.
Anesthetized for PT.
Body wrap tight. The distal humerus is swollen and a bit edematous, oozing from distal pin site. There is a larger opening at that pin tract because the skin moves back and forth when the wing is extended, but I do not think the edema is secondary to the pin site.
I plucked some of the feathers at the area of the exit of the IM pin - all of the pin sites look good, cleaned and applied Neosporin.
Rewrapped w/ padding and a light figure-8 to keep wing up but no body wrap, tried to keep rather loose in case the edema was secondary to wrapping.
Drew blood for CBC - but blood in HCT tubes clotted so I am not sure my smears will be accurate.
Continue as planned - pictures taken of the distal humerus, monitor that area closely.
Behavior is a little odd - doesn't stand much and very quiet - head trauma? Dr Gardner

Quiet, standing at front. Anesthetized under 2.5% iso for PT. Very stiff, and fx still mobile underneath. Most distal pin site started bleeding during PT, looks like an older scab lifted and left an opening. Cleaned and covered with telfa. Reapplied padded fig 8. Left body wrap on for now. Recovery was normal. Drew blood for lead from L basilic vein. NOLO seen in kennel. Kennel was really dirty, moved to a new one.

Surgery report
Procedure - Fracture repair - humerus
Performed by - Dr. Ritzman
Surgery time - 57 minutes

Right Humeral Fracture Repair: 
Patient placed under general Isoflurane anesthesia. 
Patient placed in ventral recumbency.  Area dorsal over the right
humerus was prepared for sterile surgery incision. 
Longitudinal incision made with #10 blade over dorsal humerus
at fracture site. Proximal and distal humeral fracture fragments
were identified and gently elevated. Radial nerve was identified
and gently moved away from fracture site. A 3/32 IM pin was placed
into proximal fragment at incision site and directed proximally
to exit out of proximal humerus at shoulder joint. The distal
tip of the IM pin was then advanced to fracture site and the
two humeral fragments were aligned. The fracture was a simple
olique fracture just distal to humeral crest area. The IM pin
was driven into the distal fragment until it came into contact
with distal humeral fragment. 

The incision was closed with 4-0 PDSII in simple continuous fashion
for subcutaneous tissues and simple interrupted with dermal incision.


Cross pins were placed next. Two cross pins placed of 0.045 size
within distal fragment and proximal fragment. Due to location
of the fracture site, the proximal IM pin had to be placed into
the distal humeral crest area. 

Radiographs taken after pin placement. Radiography of the right
wing shows very good alignment of fracture fragments and placement
of cross pins are very good with engagement of distal cortex
but not beyond. 

IM pin and cross pins were gently bent to incorporate into external
bar using X-Lite Plus Cast material. 

Patient recovery from anesthesia was prolonged but smooth. 

Figure of 8 wrap to body wrap.  

Plan is to start PT on Tuesday (48 hours later). 
Subcutaneous fluids given post operatively.

Lying to the side of horseshoe, sleeping. Woke up when I opened the door. Visually reactive, following my hand movements. Picked him up and encouraged him to stand on horseshoe - it took a second but he did, then slowly straightened up. Mild anisocoria and slow, subtle reading.

Quiet this morning, lying out of donut toward back of kennel. Lots of mutes on wall behind him. Slow reading. Reactive to noise but not super alert. Tried to encourage to stand and legs have some good tone, feet gripping towel underneath, but not really making attempts to stand on his own. Tried again before treatment and he kicked strongly in hand and stood! - used wing briefly for balance then stood independently. More alert during treatment this morning. DPR is still not convincing but stood and used legs very well compared to last night. Did not stand when placed back but legs were still strong; propped up with horseshoe towel.

Quiet, eyes open, raised hackles a little when we opened the door but otherwise not very alert. 18g whole m LO removed. Drew blood from R jugular; ulnar vein way too thin. Legs are strong and moving at times but DPR test was inconclusive. Had one good pupillary response from R 3rd digit but did not receive again, had some other small pupillary reactions but not consistent. No mutes in cage but vent is toned and clean.
