S: All other than Sayyida, 25212 and 25222 were on high back perch clacking. All
but 1 flew to front to avoid me when I cleaned back. 2 were wet/recently bathed,
but didn't identify which 2.
-------------------------
[02431] / ASY / F - On platform with youngest 2 babies. Hopped to perch when I entered.
Flared and clacked at me entire tiem and occasionally made motion like was going
to lunge at me but never left platform

[25212] / Brown / Nestling / UNK - On nest platform. Clacked and ran to farthest
corner to try and get away from me for catch.
[25222] / Blue / Brancher / UNK - On perch by nest platform. Very wet at had abviously
just bathed. Flared and clacked for catch. Returned to platform after catch. Lunged
and tried to attack my face when I reached to grab 212 off platform for weigh
[25227] / Gray / Brancher / UNK -

O: Weighed 25212 and 25222. Bucket cleaned and changed water. Blind dropped 866g
chx, fish, rat through tube.

A: 212 and 222 both up slightly in weigh but could stand to gain more as BCS still
reduced. 222's weight may be inacurate due to how wet he was. All birds alert and
moving around well. All but 212 are ready to go to larger space and no longer need
nest platform.

P: Move all older babies to F1 at next weigh in 3d. Move Sayyida and yougest baby
to F1 as well if platform can be set up for 212. Increase food by 50g

S: Sternal, then stood and ran around cage.

O: Eyelids and ears inflamed, likely from ectoparasites. Both coxofemoral joints feel abnormal on palpation, L worse than R - feels like femoral head is displaced out of socket. No flexing/laxity/crepitus noted on palpation. Small bump felt on palpation of center of coracoids but shoulder feel stable on palpation. On ground, bird stands with L leg turned slightly out to the side. Mild L wing hike noted as well. Standing and moving/kicking well. Took repeat x-rays: L femur is luxated out of joint, caudal thoracic vertebrae and synsacrum appear bright and curved. Possible small mid coracoid fracture seen on lateral view. Drew blood from the R medial metatarsal vein.
Fluids: 20 cc LRS SQ

A: Bird appears to have abnormalities of the hips and caudal spine. Suspect old trauma rather than developmental issue. Still appears to have decent mobility at this time and everything feels stable, so may give bird time in care to continue to see how bird grows/develops. Prognosis very guarded.

P: Monitor mobility. Consider trying outside once fecal is negative.

------------- PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS ----------------
Mentation: BAR
Temp (F): 102.7
Dehydration (%): 5
Neurologic: NSF
Head/mouth/beak: NSF
Ears: NSF
Eyes: Gnat bites and scabbing from it around eyes
Wings: NSF
Legs: Limited ROM at L hip, unable to extend leg all the way down. Abnormal protrusion palpated over dorsal/lateral side of L pelvis near hip joint.
Feet: NSF
Body: NSF
Feather condition: In blood, tail just starting to unfurl
Ectoparasites: None seen
Radiographic findings: Scoliosis of spine with prominent S curve that extends from shoulders to tip of tail
Initial treatment: Gave 20cc LRS SQ in R inguinal and dropped 30g chopped rat

A: Severe abnormal curvature to spine and limited ROM at L hip. Guarded prognosis as may limit bird's ability to ambulate normally and may struggle to use legs well enough to kick off for flight. Patient was very uncooperative for rads, so some of abnormal positioning may be due to amount patient was wiggling.

P: Vet check tomorrow along with blood and fecal check. Monitor ability to ambulate. SF in PM, HF in AM if DNE
