Comments
VD and lateral orthogonal views taken of the body (coelum). Rads suggest a chronic Fx on the proximal keel which is notably and slightly deviated to the right. Fracture likely the result of vehicular trauma. It is less likely a congentical deformity due to the remodeling present but still a possibilty. We decided to put Pt on Meloxicam in the case it was a fracture and is still healing. Will re-evaluate need for Meloxicam in a few days, paying close attention that the Pt is gaining weight steadily. Pt's inability to fly likely not related to Fx but rather from emaciation and lack of flight muscles, especially the pectorals.
