QARP, facing back of kennel, kicking once grabbed. Did not eat mouse. Significant amount of fresh but slightly dried blood in mouth. Swabbed out. Decided to d/c Meloxi due to bleeding for now. AD has dried blood, seems okay. No fecal to collect.

Dropped one m for the night - standing, facing front of kennel, slightly reactive but stood mostly still. OD slightly squinted. Maybe stain tomorrow given impact seems to be from r side.

Bird presents mostly QAR, reactive to stimuli but 'sleepy.' Pupils are reactive to light but 'bouncy,' inconsistent constriction. Dark bruising on R side of keel. Old healed fracture on distal R TMT - no sign of uneven wear on either foot. There was some blood over it (seen on incl pics) but suspect it was from bleeding ear; cleaned it off and there's no sign of a wound. Cleaned out ear with hydrogen peroxide, large blood clot removed. Internal & external anatomy look normal from what's visible. Finished tx and set up in KR2 - initially started leaning but righted himself quickly, stood on towel.
