Weight: 389.0 grams, BCS: 2.5, Leftovers: 38
S: Jumpy and flighty for catch despite wing wrap.

O: Weighed. Checked vitals. Measured IOPs and stained eyes. No stain uptake. OS IOP < OD IOP consistently across settings despite NSF on ocular exam. Removed paper tape from R wing. Removed bandages from R + L ventral wings - wounds fairly static to yesterday. Deep hole with tendon exposure on ventrodistal aspect of R R/U, tendon is still bright and healthy. Packed with hydrogel/manuka, recovered with telfa/tega. Reapplied paper tape wrap to R wing. Bruising continuing to develop over R dorsal shoulder around wounds. Scab developing but it is superficial and moves freely over deeper tissue. Scabs on keel minor, superficial. Cleaned laceration on medial RD3 with dilute chlorhex and applied TAO. Gave fluids and oral meds in hand. Collected 38g scrap/whole chick - DNE.
LRS SQ: 21.00 cc (LRS) SQ - R inguinal
Fenbendazole (Panacur): 0.10 cc (100 mg/mL Suspension) PO
Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole: 0.35 cc (48 mg/ml) PO
Gabapentin: 0.05 cc (100 mg/ml compounded) PO
Meloxicam 0.5 mg-kg: 0.14 cc (1.5 mg/ml compounded) PO
Pentoxifylline: 0.13 cc (50 mg/ml compounded ) PO

A: QAR for species. Constriction wounds still declaring. Worst area so far is that of R ventrodistal wing. Mentation is fairly subdued for a COHA.

P: d/c vitals.

S: Standing at back of cage and jumped forward. Kicking in hand.

O: Collected fecal. Collected blood, R medial metatarsal vein blew so collected from l medial metatarsal. Checked vitals. Cleaned wound on L wing w/ chlorohex and applied manuka honey/duoderm gel, covered w/ telfa/tegaderm. L shoulder still bruised. Keel scabs still present, applied TAO. Removed paper tape from R wing and R ventral bandage. Noted bandage soaked. Cleaned R ventral wound sites w/ chlorohex and applied manuke honey/duoderm gel, covered w/ telfa/tegaderm and applied paper tape around R wing. R dorsal shoulder wounds still scabbed over, applied TAO. Gave fluids and oral meds. Dropped 38g of chick.

A: Noted L ventral wing wound has some tendon exposure, so applied gel and covered wound site. R wing had less redness compared to intake. R ventral wing wounds also had some drainage present. Will focus on keeping wounds on both ventral wings moist and covered daily. Shoulder bruising and scabs were static. Feet scabs were also still adhered. Mentation more QAR than normal.

P: Cleaned and bandage L ventral radius wound.

Initial treatment: 0.08cc Torb; 0.14cc Meloxicam; 0.05cc Gabapentin; 21cc LRS SQ.

A: Patient suffering from wounds to R wing from entanglement and other small wound around body and feet. R wing wound has some skin torn over tendons, leaving tendons exposed. Will need to keep tendon moist and clean with daily bandage changes for now. Expect to see constriction wound development depending on how entangled R wing was. Opted to stabilize R wing with paper tape to reduce tightness of the wing from a full wing wrap and fabric wrap not an option for species. Guarded prognosis as status of R wing could potentially change over the next few days.

P: SID R wing bandage changes with manuka honey/duoderm gel. Apply Paper tape wraps to R wing. Monitor R shoulder and feet wounds, apply TAO PRN. Monitor L shoulder bruising. Monitor minor wound L ventral distal radius. Monitor for constriction wound development. Rx Meloxicam, Gabapentin, Pentoxifylline and fluids. monitor mentation. Monitor pulse and respiration. Collect blood and fecal 12/13. Take IOP study 12/14.
