Normal WBC but relative monocytosis--will want to recheck long term as could be infectious/inflammatory but with no bands/toxic  heterophils or leukocytosis not significantly concerned at this time. Polychromasia likely regeneration of RBC following trauma. Otherwise unremarkable.

On chemistry elevation of CK most consistent with trauma. The mild elevation in albumin most consistent with dehydration noted clinically but could also be artifactual due to hemolysis and lipemia of sample.

------------- PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS ----------------
Observational examination
  Mentation: QAR
Vital stats
  Hydration: 5% dehydration 
  Eyes: Significant left eye trauma in posterior chamber--vitreal hemorrhage and possible partial retinal detachment(difficult to fully assess due to hemorrhage within the posterior chamber and limitations of handheld ophthalmoscope), also multiple vitreal opacities present (acute inflammatory vs chronic), no evidence of glaucoma but IOP not obtained as part of triage of this patient. Right eye appears fully within normal limits, no changes noted on fundic examination. Stain not performed on either eye this evening. 
Remainder of exam appears within normal limits--no fractures/crepitus/asymmetry, a little underweight. There is mildly prolonged capillary refill time in the ulnar vein (approx. 2 seconds). Hippoboscid flies are present. 
  BCS: 3
Problem list: Left eye trauma, intraocular and posterior segment trauma, vitreous hemorrhage, possible retinal detachment.
Plan: Tx: 
1. Ketorolac ophthalmic drops: 1 drop OS (left eye) q12h
2. Meloxicam (injectable): 0.15 mg/kg, 5mg/mL
3. Subcutaneous fluids: 40 mL
4. Treatment with topical anti-parasitic spray. Avian insect liquidator. 
5. Choanal cloacal swab obtained for avian influenza testing 
6. Plan to fluorescein stain eyes during treatment tomorrow 
Prognosis: Good
