S: On food platform, flared and ran away.

O: Brought to hospital for recheck of blood and feathers. Difficult to identify which feathers are exactly which number due to dystrophy and missing feathers. R wing primaries: 10 broken, 9 dystrophic and mostly under skin (removed), 8 in blood but dystrophic, 7 missing, 6 in blood looking normal, 5 missing, 4-1 either missing or in blood but not normal. On tail, central tail feathers in blood and look normal but not preened. L wing no normal blood feathers, distal feathers are all broken close to the skin but unable to remove abnormal embedded shafts. Drew blood from the R medial metatarsal vein and took x-rays of wings to assess feather shafts. Removed infected impacted feather from R wing (may be 1st primary), took culture swab to send out.

A: Some normal looking blood feathers coming in on R wing, but none of L wing. May need to anesthetize to feather shafts from broken primaries on L wing.

P: Send out culture, monitor feather growth.

Pulled blood feathers 8, 1 and dorsal covert 1 - 8 bled heavily, had to hold pressure and apply curaspon to site to achieve hemostasis. Bruising post bleeding noted. Pulled central tail feathers, old blood present where L primary 7 had previously been pulled, cleaned site out. Minor keel wound noted. Gave bird 0.47cc vit K IM. Checked all site to make sure no further bleeding seen. Bird recovered uneventfully from anesthesia and was moved back outside.

A: Pulled at least 6 broken, impacted abnormal blood feathers from the L and R wing and tail feathers. More bleeding seen than expected - bird has been in care for a long period of time at another facility but will treat with vit K and meloxicam just in case. Most of feathers present are either new blood feathers that look abnormal or old flight feathers that need to molt and look abnormal.

P: Rx meloxicam and vit K in food, continue baytril and gabapentin. Monitor for bleeding.

S: Standing, skittish. Struggling in hand.

O: Small piece of food in crop. Drew blood from the R medial metatarsal vein. Gave 0.18 ml torb IM when examining feathers: no healthy feathers present, primaries not in blood feel loose (one removed just when palpating on L side), feather shafts crusted over and irregular, feather condition ratty and poor. Removed 3 feathers that were broken and irregular at the base on the R wing - inside of feather pulp was very thickened and irregular with some fluid build up. Blood on the L wing - removed cracked and bleeding blood feather as well as leftover pieces of pulp from broken feather that was missing. Center of tail feather in blood. Unable identify all feathers well due to feathers being rotated and damaged.

10 mg-ml Ivermectin (capillaria): 0.07 cc (10 mg/ml) PO
Gabapentin: 0.20cc (100 mg/ml compounded) PO

A: Very difficult to do a full feather assessment/count due to how damaged all the feathers are. Feathers are either in blood or very abnormal (crusty along the shaft, loose in wing/rotated), some feathers are broken at the base with damaged sheaths. Removed a few very broken/damaged feathers from either wing - feather shafts seen from removed feathers look abnormal.

P: Monitor for further bleeding from broken/damaged blood feathers. Continue to try to do a more complete feather count if possible.
