Took back outside from kennel room where he was recovering from ane. Found one small piece of suture material on kennel towel, unsure if it came undone from site or was on feathers somewhere. Very BAR and jumpy, perched immediately outside, eyeing food. 

2025-02-07 12:59 Dr G/ SC/ CD

Based on advice/ input I got from a ophthalmologist (I sent him an image) this bird has a lens luxation. Today the eye does look a bit protruberant, although the pressures last week were low (were they correct?)
Staff also thinks he is not able to completely close the nictitans over the eye, which makes sense given the bulging. Moving forward with evisceration.
See surgical report: 

P: Started on Clindamycin 100 mg/ml BID, Meloxicam BID x 7 days. Re-evaluate in 1 week. Dr Gardner

Surgery report
Procedure - Evisceration
Performed by - Dr Gardner
Surgery time - 30 minutes
Plucked around eye lids and prepped w/ dilute Betadine. With
scalpel, incised into cornea then removed cornea at the scleral
limbus. Removed loose intra-ocular contents (very gelatinous
and bloody). Dissected around the rim of the globe to detach
and remove the choroid and all other intra-ocular contents. There
was a fair amount of bleeding, had to pause to stuff w/ gauze
periodically. Bird did have a bit of an arrythmia and bradycardia
so was given a dose of Atropine (unsure of dose- suspect it was
low) IM. 
Ultimately was able to debride globe, put 3 squares of Vet-spon
within. With iris scissors then removed the nictitans, then incised
the edges of the eye-lids. Closed in 2 layers w/ 4-0 PDS (simple
continuous SQ, horizontal mattress on skin). 
Patient recovered weel.

Owl with band 26805 is in R12a. QARP, watched me intently.I attempted to give drops without grabbing because it let me get close, but since has more room in this enclosure able to fly away right when I was about to attempt. Since I dropped food and bird started eating before I could get help, did not get drops tonight to prevent grabbing after eating. No blinking or squinting of left eye. NOLO.

Eye a bit less inflamed but there is some opacity within either the lens or the posterior chamber that suggests scarring of internal structures. Pressures low but very difficult to get the Tonopen to work properly so no guarantees that they are correct. Will continue treatment 1 more week. At that point may stop, but monitor closely for gross changes to eye appearance. Dr Gardner

OS not as hemorrhagic but still grossly extremely abnormal. All structures damaged, suspect eye may become phthisic. Did want to check pressures but couldn't find Tonopen. Eye feels soft rather than hard but would like to check in the future just to make sure there is no pressure build up. Eye does not seem painful, bird doesn't react to lids being opened and there is no blepharospasm.  
P: Continue meds and recheck in 1 week. Monitor for signs of discomfort OS. Dr Gardner

Perched and BAR. 1m LO. Very bitey and active during treatment. Tweezer fed well. Perched again after treatment. A few drops of fresh blood were found on the towel under where the bird was perched. I couldn't find where it came from. Mouth was clear and we cleaned off the beak.

Exam Notes: Standing but quiet in the box. Became increasingly more BAR and bitey throughout the exam. Bird palpated normally with the only major find being OS which is soft and doesn't have normal anatomy present. Swabbed out as much blood as we could from his mouth, treated and set up in a kennel in KR2. Was a little wobbly, but able to perch quickly
