While reviewing footage and with pinched dropped feathers found in enclosure, and state of feather shafts at last weight and lack of preening, believe that 159 has contracted WNV - discuss if we should treat or if we think it will run its course quickly. Feathers do look to be growing in again already

------------- PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS ----------------
Mentation: BAR
Temp (F): 105.5
Dehydration (%): 5
Neurologic: NSF
Head/mouth/beak: NSF
Ears: NSF
Eyes: NSF
Wings: Fxs to proximal L humerus and distal L ulna. Bruising to ventral side of ulna fx. Enough callous formation already that did not feel like fxs were shifting by are very flexible. Carpus feels slightly rotated ventrally.
Legs: NSF
Feet: NSF. Toes still a bit floppy, just starting to develop grip strength
Body: NSF
Feather condition: In blood. Primaries ~40% in. Body feathers sprouting but still has thick layer of down visible between them and covering legs
Ectoparasites: None seen
Radiographic findings: Confirmed fx to L proximal humerus/distal ulna. Fx to humerus appears abnormally angled
Initial treatment: Gave 1.84cc meloxicam PO + 60cc LRS SQ in R inguinal

A: Fxs to L humerus and ulna are both fairly close to joints. Feel like there is already callous stabilizing them enough to not require a wrap, especially since a wrap would inhibit normal development of feathers. Callous formation very quick at theis age due to rate of calcium being laid down for growth. Concerned for apparent roation of carpus and humoral head but may remodel to a lesser angle since patient is still growing. Wing being held normally when hock sitting.

P: Rx meloxicam. Rx terbinafine. Check blood, including lead, and fecal on 4/14. Vet check 4/15. Monitor fxs out of wrap and place wrap PRN. Follow up rads in 1 week. Weigh SID. SF in AM, HF in PM if DNE, wear camo.
