Because the patient presented with a history of possible trauma, even through there was no evidence on exam of fractures or swelling, it is important to investigate further. It is also important to make sure that the juvenile cataracts do not progress and to monitor vision. Plan: Dx: Radiographs would be the next step to evaluate any potential trauma. Tx: Continue to feed and give calcium glubionate Prognosis: Unknown

Weight: 870 grams, BCS: 2.0 ------------- PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS ---------------- Attending Veterinarian: Dr. Seth Oster Observational examination Mentation: Normal Posture: Normal Overall appearance: Normal Comments: BCS of 2 but most likely hasn't started flying yet Vital stats Heart rate: 320 bpm Respiratory rate: 60 brpm Auscultation: Normal sounds Mucous membranes: Pink and moist Hydration: Euhydration Physical examination: Normal Oral cavity: Normal Choana: Normal, swabbed for AI test Glottis: Normal Beak: Normal Cere/nares: Normal Eyes: Normal Ears: Normal Crop: Normal Feather quality: Normal Integument: Normal Wings: Normal upon palpation Wings - Range of motion: Normal Wings - Patagium: Normal Legs/Feet: Normal upon palpation Legs/Feet - Range of motion: Normal Legs/Feet - Plantar surface: Normal Legs/Feet- Talons: Normal Neurologic: Normal Ceolom: Normal upon palpation BCS: 2 Vent: Normal, swabbed for AI Droppings: N/A Uropygial gland: Normal Problem list: N/A Diagnosis: N/A Assessment: The patient appears to be a normal fledgling on physical examination. There is no evidence of fractures or swelling grossly. However, given the history of being found on the ground and potentially having fallen out of the nest, we cannot completely rule out trauma at the moment and need to pursue further diagnostics. Plan: Dx: Perform radiographs to check for any evidence of fractures or swelling not detected on physical exam. We swabbed the choana and cloaca at the time of the exam and are awaiting avian influenza test results. Tx: At the moment, the plan is to feed the patient twice a day and supply calcium glubionate at 25 mg/kg once a day. Anything else we do would be dependent on radiographic results. Prognosis: Currently unknown
