Both BARP. Changed water.

-------------------------
[27256] / HY / UNK - Flew down to the door when I entered the catch, rowing. I started
chasing the bird around and every few feet, he would bow down and crouch. When he
was cornered, I picked him up and lightly tossed him, he fluttered a bit and started
running again. Eventually, flew to high perch and was able to get him to go high
p2p 3x before he went to the ground again. Swiping his feet seems to do the trick
to get him off the ground.

BAR. Alert, weight is up. OS issues appear resolved, OD still has debris but perhaps improved.
Examined uropygial gland - I have not looked at these in this species, but it looks symmetrical and uninflamed. Both openings appear patent. It is slightly dark but I am not sure this is bruising or just normal coloring.
Mathias said he will look at another TUVUs gland when he handles it.
Took pictures for record.
Continue SID eye meds and meloxicam. Recheck eyes Tuesday. Dr Gardner

Pred OD

BAR, moving around enclosure well. Brought in for intake rads, eye exam and bloodwork. Rads under 4.5% ISO found NSF. Lead levels are low. The eye needs treatment so we will keep the young TUVU and this one separate for a few days while we treat. The uropygial gland tips are larger than normal and clogged over. There is a little bruising towards the tip of the gland and I'm not sure if TUVU normally have a wick feather but this bird doesn't have them. I tried to express the gland but nothing came out.
