| Weight: 1104.0 grams, BCS: 2.0, Leftovers: 0 S: Standing, flapping. Mat torn up by patient. O: Bird is much more BAR in hand than on intake. Bruising on R side of body starting to resolve. SQ air still present bilaterally but much improved, also starting to resolve on own. Small scab noted R side of cranial keel. All bandages in place. Food: SF in PM, HF in AM if DNE Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole: 0.90 cc (48 mg/ml) PO Gabapentin: 0.13 cc (100 mg/ml compounded) PO Meloxicam: 0.38 cc (1.5 mg/ml compounded) PO A: Bird doing well, recovering from trauma well - biggest concern is still whether flight feathers on R wing will grow back or if the follicles were damaged in the traumatic incident. P: Ok to end gabapentin, move to back room. Move outside once wounds have healed and will just need to monitor to see if there is any new feather growth on R wing.

| Weight: 1141.0 grams, BCS: 2.0 S: Finder reported bird was found down out in a field and easily contained. Unable to fly away. Bird presented standing in transport crate, alert and resistant for catch and in hand. O: Performed quick intake exam. No major findings on initial check. Gave SQ fluids. Placed in regular SS cage in ICU. ------------- PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS ---------------- Mentation: QAR Temp (F): 103.6 Dehydration (%): 3 Neurologic: WNL Head/mouth/beak: mm moist, NSF Ears: Minor buffalo gnat irritation in ears Eyes: Potentially reduced vision OD, still tracks very well in hand. Wings: NSF on initial palpation. L primaries are missing more feathers than a regular molt would lose. Legs: NSF on initial palpation. Appeared to potentially favor the R leg once placed in cage. Feet: NSF Body: Some scabbing on dorsal and ventral caudal abdomen. Feather condition: Some L primaries missing, tail IB Ectoparasites: buffalo gnats Radiographic findings: DNE Initial treatment: 60cc LRS SQ in R inguinal. A: Bird shows a potentially reduced menace response in the right eye. Broad scabbing on lower half of body and missing feathers on L wing. Is in otherwise fair body condition, no ectoparasites observed, well hydrated. Bird may be unable to fly due to missing primaries but will need to complete further examination and imaging to look for further causes of grounding. P: rx fluids. Complete intake exam in the morning with AD.
