Radiographic findings: Possible partial, greenstick fx to distal R metacarpus. GI looks like it may be full of mud
Initial treatment: Placed in cage in CC room

A: Possible partial, greenstick fx to distal R metacarpus but could just be slight shadow on rads. Area is more tender to palpation but there is no bruising or extra flex at the site. Cast looks like may be mud instead of fur/bones. Bird seen in garden area by hostas, possibly eating mud/worms or something? Prognosis good
