Am I using both legs evenly?

BAR. Very active, a little tricky to assess weight-bearing because he moves around so quickly. Ready to talon with both feet. Bottoms of feet look good, possibly very slightly more pink on the left foot but minimally. Callous on the R TBT very solid. He seems less sensitive when palpated along that leg today. There is one slightly pointed area proximally and medially but it does not seem to bother him and there are no skin lesions or danger or that. Feathers are growing in.
We noticed 3 whole chicks in the habitat and he lost weight. Although I find it unlikely that he would have trouble grabbing or holding with the right foot, opted not to move out of an abundance of caution. MS theorized that he doesn't like chick so we changed the diet to mouse/rat only. Banded.
Check weight in 4 days, move if up and eating well at that point. Dr Gardner

NOTE: went back out to check in habitat. Both Milan and I noted that he does slightly offload weight from the right leg. To me it looks like he turns or holds the right leg out slightly more than the left. When on the ground he bounds/ hops oddly, not sure if that is a behavioral thing or a lameness issue.

Bird is BAR. On perch at first, possibly a little awkward in turning around, but no obvious limp noted. Jumped down and ran across habitat quickly, so unable to observe for long. Aggressive, came at the intern with both feet when trying to catch.
Brought inside for eye check. Left foot is still a little pink but no worse, possibly a bit better, less wide-spread inflammation noted. ME put some Nu-skin on foot for a little extra protection.
Leg feels great, solid, callous not overly large or rough. He does have some sensitivity in a few areas when palpated over the leg. All pin sites are healed.
P: For now, d/c Meloxicam as he has been on it a long time. Switch to whole prey to see how he does using the foot for holding and/or tearing. Check foot in 3 days, will recheck again in 1 week and hopefully move somewhere bigger. Dr Gardner

Bird is BAR and using both legs well per staff. External fixator is intact. The plantar surface of the left foot is a bit pink but not as much so as previously.

Anesthetized with Isoflurane for radiographs. Fracture is well-calloused, with some mild displacement (medially at the distal fragment). I do have some concern for shortening of the limb. But the fixator is ready to remove.

Post-op rads confirmed displacement but overall good alignment considering the IM pin was removed so early.
Got a quick "bath" due to dirty feathers.

P: Check mobility and pin sites in 4 days, clean and treat topically if needed. Check feet as well. SID meloxicam until 10/17. Dr Gardner

Surgery report
Procedure - Implant removal
Performed by - Dr G
Surgery time - 20 minutes

Cleaned all pin sites with betadine swabs. Cut pins at the lateral
aspect of the leg. Was able to cut the most distal and proximal
pins at the fixator and remove, took a little manuvering to get
the other two out because the medial aspect was so close to the
leg. However, all came out relatively easily. There is a red,
ulcerated area at the 2nd most distal pin site medially where
the casting rubbed. Cleaned all and applied triple AB ointment.
Took post-op radiographs.

Bird is BAR and moving around habitat well, very active. No obvious limp. Footies are chewed but wrap over ex-fix looks good.
Anesthetized briefly and removed footies. L foot very slightly pink but much improved from last week.
Small scabs were noted on the dorsal aspect of R foot digits 3 and 4. Looking back at the record they were noted mid-September. Scabbed and quiet.
Previous wounds on R shoulder and wrist are healed.
Removed wrap on external fixator, cleaned pin sites, applied TAB and re-wrapped.
Left footies off.
Plan to recheck radiographs and remove external fixator on Friday. Check feet as well. Dr Gardner

NOTE: Renee brought my attention to the fact that there was a sensitive, sharp area in the medial aspect of the callous. I did not palpate fully today but will check it on Friday. I was planning to d/c Meloxicam but decided to just back off to SID based on this. Dr Gardner

Bird is using both feet well in condo, very flighty but seems to be placing weight relatively evenly.
Brought inside and anesthetized for recheck radiographs.

The duct tape was a bit chewed today.

RADS - fracture callousing although callous appears very thick right in the middle. Well-aligned, although it is hard to get a straight VD due to the ex fix rotating the leg.

Cleaned pin sites and applied TAB, re-wrapped the ex fix. There is very mild irritation on the medial aspect of the leg where the casting material is very close to the skin.
L foot is looking moderately pink so applied booties to both feet for now.
Moved to an enclosure with slightly more room, but still protected.
OK to d/c antibiotics and Pentoxifylline
Recheck in 1 week, may opt to start to destabilize the ex fix, or remove completely in 2 weeks.
Pin care in 3 days.

Bird is BAR, according to staff standing and moving around well on the leg. Bandage looks clean and unchewed. Footie is dirty, L foot has lots of feathers in it suggesting that he is using it to eat.

Masked down for radiographs. Pins are in place, the fracture site looks sclerotic and edges are blunted, showing good signs of healing. Small amount of reaction around some pins, specifically the older proximal one, likely due to the slight looseness of that pin.

Skin looks great, minimal bruising, incision well-healed. Cleaned pin sites and applied TAB, wrapped again w/ chew tabs. Re-wrapped footie.

Sutures on L chest and L dorsal carpus look great, healing well.

P: Continue to change wraps and clean every 3-4 days. Continue antibiotics and Pentoxifylline, will likely d/c next time I see him.
Increased amount fed. Move somewhere bigger when weight is up. Dr Gardner

According to staff not eating, being FF. Weight is down but using the foot and running around the condo.

Brought in side and anesthetized with Isoflurane for re-evaluation.
Radiographs (VD and lateral) showed a relatively well-aligned and partially calloused fracture. 2 pins below and 1 above are well-placed. The cranial cross-pin is a little loose and moves slightly back and forth.
See surgery report:

P: Check pins Q 2-3 days. Monitor very closely for chewing/ pulling at construct.
Continue antibiotics, pain medications, supportive care, Pentoxifylline.

MOVED TO:R 17 B

Surgery report
Procedure - Fracture repair - tibiotarsus
Performed by - Dr G
Surgery time - 20 minutes

Revision of external fixator with IM pin removed. Since the ideal
fixation is 2 points above and below the fracture opted to place
another cross-pin above to stabilize the construct. There isn't
much room between the top pin and the fracture and it is crowded
with the fixator. Ultimately, chose to place one cross-pin cranially.
Able to drive it across just distal to the knee perpendicularly.
Bent the pin to meet the lateral and medial construct, then placed
more Thermoplast to attach to and bolster the existing construct.


Wrapped whole thing well including duct tape tabs. 

Also addressed wound on L carpus. It is scabbed and covered with
glue. Cleaned and removed glue to reveal small laceration. Closed
with 4-0 PDS and covered with Telfa, Tegaderm. 

Patient had an irregular heart beat initially. Gave Atropine

Admin Bupren.  Cleaned pins on leg.  Cut away thermoplstic on
fixators that were poking into leg.  At pin sights, covered with
triple antibotic.  Upper most pin is the only one that looked
a weepy.  Others looked great.  Using leg but knuckling the toes
a little.  Added boot.  

Checked other wounds.  Covered head and m/c wounds with silver
gel.  Both were very dry.  

Checked shoulder wound.  Lots of feathers stuck on wound, scrubbed
and found stitches.  Wound itself looks red and irritated.  Area
between sutures does not look sealed, still open.  Decided to
cover with ssd, tefla and tegaderm to protect for a few days
more.

QAR, standing. Holding R foot normally and placing down on floor but limping severely. See wound care notes. NOLO but went ahead with fluids & FF due to the amt of meds and surgery yesterday. When we placed him back he did stare at the food & walk towards it a little. Didn't eat yet while we were standing there but he adjusted his crop.

* Not weighed since intake. New weight includes bandage & fixator.

Surgery report
Procedure - Wound care/bandage change
Performed by - cd
Surgery time - 0 minutes

Tissue past distal end of bandage is very swollen and reddened,
seeping blood & serum. Removed bandage and entirety of TBT is
swollen, medial side is pushing lightly against fixator bar.
Proximal medial pin is hardly visible due to swelling, and distal
medial pin site has sm amt of buff colored exudate. Suture line
is seeping blood/serum. Cleaned distal area gently with chlorhex
scrub and applied silver gel. Cleaned pin sites gently with betadine
swab. Opted to leave bandage entirely off due to severity of
swelling - the TBT itself may not have been affected by it but
there is a notable line around the hock where that portion of
the swelling started past the edge of the bandage. Tega on TBT
is still intact.

QAR, on hocks. R foot was rotated laterally in awkward position, opted to remove the boot for the night. Bottom edge of the bandage soaked through, will change tomorrow. Contacted Dr. G and she agrees to revisit in the morning. Moved to kennel with towels and bird sat on hocks again with R foot knuckled.

MOVED TO: KR2

2025-09-05 14:32 MS/Dr. G

See surgery notes. Plan is to check ex-fix and incision EOD, apply triple antibiotic to pin sites and cover lightly.
Recheck radiographs Tuesday. We placed footie as these birds usually knuckle after surgery. Assess movement of leg and overall attitude.
Anemic, and there was moderate blood loss during surgery. Give an Iron dextran injection. I will check Friday.
Started Meloxicam. Dr Gardner

Placed bird in KR2-INC 2 on towel, still asleep.

Surgery report
Procedure - Fracture repair - tibiotarsus
Performed by - Dr. G
Surgery time - 90 minutes

Patient anesthetized and intubated, placed in dorsal recumbency.
Bandage/ splint removed from right leg. Swelling appears to be
notably decreased, fracture site extremely mobile. 
Plucked leg, prepped. Placed sterile vet wrap around distal leg
for procedure. 
Cranio-medial incision made over fracture site, dissected through
muscle to expose ends of fracture fragments. Distal fragment
was easily exposed,but proximal portion more deeply buried in
muscle. Selected small IM pin and placed normograde from stifle
(with stifle deeply flexed) into the proximal fracture segment.
Once pin noted at fracture site, fracture was reduced and pin
driven across the fracture site into the distal fracture segment.
This took several tries due to splintering of the distal segment.
Once pin placed and driven distally, placement was confirmed
radiographically. Fracture was reduced and nicely aligned with
leg in good anatomic position. 
Fracture site was flushed and closed. Muscle was opposed through
the fascial sheets with a horizontal mattress pattern, and skin
was closed with a Ford Interlocking pattern, both with 4-0 PDS.
A small laceration on the cranial distal TMT was closed with
a single horizontal mattress suture.
Next an external fixator was placed. 0.035 cross-pins were placed
- two distally and on e proximally - from the lateral cortex
exiting the medial cortex. The IM pin and the cross pins were
bent to join in a type-2 external fixator. The bars of the fixator
were formed with Thermoplast incorporating the three pins laterally
and medially and the IM pin laterally. Position and placement
looked good. Ideally, the most proximal pin should have been
driven further to overlap more with the distal pins, but it was
difficult without impeding the patient's body. 
The leg was cleaned and SSD placed over the incision and pin
sites, Telfa and Tegaderm over the incision. A light layer of
vet wrap was placed over the construct to cover and protect it.

The bandage was removed from the left wing and the wound on the
left shoulder was cleaned. It was mostly down to muscle, so I
opted to debride, flush, and close with 4-0 Vicryl in a horitontal
mattress pattern. There was a fair amount of bruising around
the wound. The small wound on the dorsal side of the carpus was
cleaned and silver gel applied. 
Patient recovered relatively quickly. Given another dose of Buprenorphine,
since initial dose was given this am.
