Rebandage wounds:
The bandage was removed from all wounds and the wounds cleaned with dilute betadine.
The wounds on both carpi look calm and healing - they were covered with a tegaderm and secured with tape. The carpal guards remained intact and in the correct position.
The left leg wound looked like it was healing but skin contracture was slow and appeared to plateau on the dorsal aspect. The decision was made to suture the wound closed.
The patient was anesthetized with isoflurane via a face mask. Once adequate depth was reached, the patient was intubated with a 6mm endotracheal tube.
Supplemental heating was provided with a heating pad.
The wound on the left leg was cleaned with dilute betadine, lidocaine was used to block the wound site, and the area was sterilely prepped. The wound was debrided before being closed with a 4-0 PDS. Two simple interrupted sutures were placed subcutaneously and simple continuous was used to close the remainder of the wound.
The wound was covered with a telfa pad and a loose tape bandage placed over top to secure.
The patient recovered well from anesthesia; however, post extubation, a serosanginous fluid was noted in the endotracheal tube. The fluid was swabbed and submitted for aerobic culture.
Note: The patient's stool has become green and soft. This feces was submitted for a sheather's fecal float simultaneously

Performed bandage changes and wound cleaning:
All wounds are continue to contract. Wounds were cleaned with betadine. The L tibiotarsal wound was covered with Duoderm then tegaderm. The R pectoral wound was treated with SDD then covered with tegaderm+telfa. The L facial wound was treated with SSD and covered with tegaderm+telfa.

Performed flight trial:
Observed offloading on the right limb. Right wing still appears to have atrophy. However, 258 was able to fly after a couple attempts, comparably well considering previous non-flighted status. It was discussed that time may be needed to regain muscle mass and/or overcome any potential nerve injury that may have occurred. Due to this, it was decided that 258 be placed in a flight aviary and continue monitoring and treatment from there.

AMS

Report
Full body, noncontrast CT was performed on 12/30/2025.
There is a small volume of fluid attenuating material within the left mid nasal cavity. The remainder of the
nasal cavity, sinuses, and
turbinates are unremarkable in appearance. The globes, calvarium, and beak are unremarkable in
appearance. There is a minimally displaced,
minimally comminuted, fracture of the left jugal arch cranial to the articulation with the left quadrate bone.
There is amorphous
hyperattenuating material within the medullary cavity of the left quadrate bone at the level of articulation with
the articular bone and
braincase; there are numerous, small mineral fragments within the soft tissues of these regions. There is a
complete, non-displaced, oblique
fracture of the medial aspect of the left distal quadrate bone at the level of articulation with the left articular
bone. There is soft
tissue swelling along the left ventrolateral aspect of the mandible, with roughening of the soft tissues and a
focal region of subcutaneous
emphysema at the caudal aspect of the left jugal arch. The remainder of the head is otherwise unremarkable
in appearance. No spinal
abnormalities are identified. The trachea, esophagus, pulmonary parenchyma, and air sacs are unremarkable
in appearance. The cardiovascular
structures are subjectively normal in appearance. The abdomen is normal. The thoracic and pelvic girdles are
unremarkable in appearance with
no traumatic osseous pathology identified. The visualized wings are normal. There is focal region of periosteal
reaction along the cranial margin at the right mid tibiotarsal diaphysis; immediately cranial to this region, there is a small volume of
subcutaneous emphysema within
the soft tissues of the limb, tracking distally to the level of the distal tibial diaphysis.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Polytrauma associated with the left mandible with associated hematoma/cellulitis, as described above.
2. Scant volume of debris within the left nasal cavity is suspected to represent a small volume of hemorrhage
given the concurrent
facial trauma, with mucinous secretions also considered.
3. Periosteal reaction associated with the right tibiotarsus with associated subcutaneous emphysema is most
concerning for bacterial
osteomyelitis.

Surgery report
Procedure - Wound debridement
Performed by - Sokoloff
Surgery time - 85 minutes

The first wound present is located on the left side of face caudal
to beak. A second wound was present on the left side on the caudo-ventral
aspect of the beak. Both wounds around the face were approximately
1-2 cm in length. A third wound, approximately 2-3 cm in length,
was present on the left limb in the area of the femur. The area
around the wounds were removed of feathers and aespetically srubbed.
The wounds on the face were debrided and flushed with LRS fluids.
The wounds were closed using 4-0 PDS in a simple continuous pattern.
The wounds were coated with TMS cream and a gauze pad was placed
over the wound. 3-0 PDS was used to create sutures around the
wound for placement of a tie down. Debridement was performed
on the wound on the leg and it was discovered to be contaminated.
Closure was not performed. The wound was flushed with copious
amounts of LRS fluids and pocketing was evident on further examintation
of the wound (approximately 5 cm of pocketing). The wounds were
coated with TMS cream and a gauze pad was placed over the wound.
3-0 PDS was used to create sutures around the wound for placement
of a tie down.

There is noticeable atrophy of muscle on the right tibiotarsus. There is mixed gas opacity within the soft tissues of the proximal tibiotarsus. There are several small areas of opacity (3) that are overlying bone and may represent foreign material vs bony proliferation per radiology.
There appears to be asymmetry of the clavicles, with possible summation versus greenstick/nondisplaced partial fracture of the left clavicle.
Wounds were explored/cleaned while under anesthesia after collecting radiographs. The full thickness wound overlying the left lateral tibiotarsus is granulating in well. There is a small laceration still present, similarly granulating on the left mandible ventrally. The wounds were cleaned and dressed with SSD and a tegaderm bandage over the leg wound.
A puncture wound on the left side of the face just caudal to the cere was explored with a 22 g catheter and found to extend into the sinus such that the entire length of the catheter was easily passed into this wound/the sinus. Flushing was not performed on this wound for this reason.

Patient recovered well from gas anesthesia and was administered meloxicam 1 mg/kg IM during recovery.


Overall interpretation is that there is likely cellulitis in soft tissues overlying proximal right tibiotarsus--this could explain abnormal tone/motility in digits 3 and 4 as muscle bellies for these digits originate in this area. There is also some soft tissue swelling at the tibiotarsal-tarsometatarsal joint (but palpates as within soft tissue and not within joint, and radiographs of joint are normal) which could be infectious/inflammatory and could be affecting the tendons of the digits as well.
A precise cause for lack of flight is not seen--there is an area on the left clavicle with soft tissue summation that was asymmetrical with the right clavicle but fracture was not confirmed on H view.

It was discussed whether to continue to house eagle indoors or place in smaller aviary outdoors--there was concern that indoors this individual was likely to be difficult and possibly dangerous to handle and that carpal trauma and feather damage were likely. As all meds except for ceftiofur are given orally, and the ceftiofur does not require frequent catching to administer, and wounds appear to have good active granulation and risk of insect contamination is low, it was elected to place eagle in small flight at least initially. An added bonus is that the gait/use of the right leg can be better assessed, as can any potential wing droop or asymmetry. It was not possible to assess this well while patient was in quarantine.
