BAR, ate most of the food, flew straight to perch, 15 degree head tilt to right, no head droop

2024-04-16 15:32 BE

Placed in an aviary alone this afternoon. Did not notice a head droop once in the aviary. Noticed an improvement of the head tilt to the right (20 degrees). Once in the aviary, 18 flew around and was able to fly straight to a perch. Plan is to continue medications orally, make sure 18 is eating in the morning and to continue to check on the head tilt and droop.

CBC -
RBC: Polychromasia 3+, 24 immature RBC per 100 mature RBC - suggests regenerative anemia
WBC: Toxic change to WBC - suggests inflammation

Chemistry -
Increased hemolysis index (may artifactually increase K, P, CK, LDH, AST; may decrease UA, GGT, lipase if severe; can alter GLDH quantification). AST and CK obtained with large dilution so values likely not accurate, but do support that a high value of each is present in the sample.

Hypocholesterolemia: DDX intestinal (malabsorptive/maldigestion) vs liver failure (plan: will need to monitor cholesterol)
Decreased total protein: DDX hemorrhage vs intestinal loss vs renal loss vs decreased hepatic production vs immune suppression
Hyponatremia: not likely clinically significant
Elevated CK and AST: likely muscle damage but cannot RO liver component

------------- PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS ----------------
Attending Veterinarian: Dr. Amberly Sokoloff
Observational examination
Mentation: QAR, drooping head
Vital stats
Mucous membranes: White
Dehydration: <5%
Comments: Concerned for anemia, took a blood sample from the right jugular. Delayed ulnar refill time on right and left wing.
Physical examination: Neck pillowy, could be air sac rupture or hyperinflation of cervicocephalic air sac
Beak: Linear fracture of keratin layer on outside of beak, no palpable instability. Normal occlusion.
Cere/nares: WNL
Eyes: Normal PLR and Dazzle in both eyes. Anisocoria (right pupil larger than left). OD there is a circular area of pallor dorsal to the pectin, possible dispersed fovea or area of retinal damage.
Ears: WNL
Crop: WNL
Wings - Range of motion: Normal ROM in both wings with no structural abnormalities
Legs/Feet: Left foot with small lesion on plantar surface of digit 2. Another small abrasion on dorsal side of digit 2.
Ceolom: Empty and WNL
Vent: Pale, moist mucosa

QATS: TS - 2.0 g/dL, PCV - 22%
Lead - low

Problem list:
1. Head trauma: associated linear keratin fracture of beak, drooping head, anisocoria, possible retinal damage
2. Anemia: white MM, delayed ulnar vein refill bilaterally
3. Anorexia: not eating on own since in hospital

Diagnosis: Neurological deficits and secondary effects of trauma

Assessment:

With the reported findings of 018, trauma is suspected to be the primary cause of the clinical signs: associated linear keratin fracture of beak, drooping head, anisocoria, possible retinal damage. A fractured upper portion of the beak can be associated with trauma and can be seen with sudden impact (crashing into car, window, etc.). Anisocoria and retinal detachment may be a result of increased blood pressure secondary to a traumatic event or direct tissue trauma. There was no evidence of nystagmus on physical exam, which is an improvement from intake. Dehydration has been managed with SQ fluids over the past 3 days. Today we were able to assist feed 29 g and some signs of being able to swallow were noted.

Plan:
1. Meloxicam injection 0.12 ml (5 mg/ml soln) PO BID
2. Buprenorphine injection 0.04 ml (1.8mg/ml; 0.1 mg/kg) SQ SID
3. Ketorolac OU BID
4. LRS 15 mL SQ BID
5. Radiographs and ophtho consultation
6. Monitor for improvement of clinical signs

Prognosis: Guarded

------------- PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS ----------------
Attending Veterinarian: Dr. Seth Oster
Observational examination
Mentation: Dull
Posture: Drooping head, unable to stand unless placed in a donut.
Overall appearance: Poor
Comments: Vertical nystagmus
Vital stats
Heart rate: 350
Respiratory rate: 40
Auscultation: Air sac sounds on right side
Dehydration: 5-10%
Comments: 8%
Oral cavity: stringy saliva
Beak: Blood present, possible fractured upper portion of beak
Cere/nares: Blood present
Eyes: OD- 12 IOP, film. OS- 15 IOP, fibrin
Legs/Feet: Abrasion on digit 2
BCS: 3
Uropygial gland: NE
Problem list:
1. Possible fractured upper portion of beak
2. Horiztonal nystagmus (neurological)
3. Eyes- OD: film OS: fibrin
4. Dehydration
Diagnosis: Neurological deficits and upper portion of beak

Assessment:
With the reported findings of 018, trauma is suspected to be the primary cause of the clinical signs; vertical nystagmus, fractured upper portion of beak with blood present on beak and nares, fibrin within the left eye, dehydration. and very dull mentation.
Nystagmus is often seen with trauma due to neurological damage (acutely or chronic). A fractured upper portion of the beak can be associated with trauma and can happen with sudden impact (car, window, etc.).Fibrin see within eyes can indicate retinal issues which could also stem from trauma. In addition, the right eye had a film like appearence and was soft to the touch. Dehydration is a common clinical symptom when birds are flightless due to injury and cannot access water sources.

Plan:
1. Meloxicam injection (1mg/kg)- 0.12 mL
2. Buprenorphine injection SQ (0.1mg/kg)- 0.03 mL
3. Ketorolac OU BID
4. Fluids 40 mL SQ
5. Radiographs and optho in future
6. Monitor for improvement of clinical signs
Prognosis: Guarded
