oh yes they feel it one vet that tried it ended up six feet away laying on his back like a camel they can kick in any direction

six inch nail and a hammer

yes as soon as i saw the first x-ray i was hopeful used to work with the vets closely when dealing with exotics i was looking after i was usually the one who administered injections to the elephants

:roll: hope she recovers

thanks Jen, are pins removed or left in place?

thats it phoenix the process is like a wall being built, bricks one layer at a time so bones heal in a similar manner. Layer upon layer of new cells are laid until the broken bone ends are fused together.

there is quite a gap between those bones, like our forarm i think from memory if healing is successful the pins are cut off and remain jennifer may be able to further enlighten us

yes iggies was mt pleasant, one of th points put forward to erma was that this strain was not known in nz before the iggies were tested, am american strain 3 months after iggies were determined to be a new organism and destroyed new info came to light that mt pleasant salmonella was already here years before go figure

The post operative radiographs taken today (see attached) show that the pins placed in the left radius and ulna are in good position and the ends of the broken bones are now well aligned. The pins were slightly too long and so were trimmed back slighty. The infection that is present under the skin in the area is slightly reduced and we are still keeping the wing bandaged to keep that covered and to help keep the fracture stable in the short term. The bird is receiving pain relief and antibiotics and is still eating well. The plan is to hold him until the fractures are stable enough that the pins can be removed. This may take 3-4 weeks, possibly longer to the massey wildlife team

can't get your mind off it?

that is a possibility, Insect vectors are also thought to be able to spread the RCD virus in rabbits also humans handling infected animals and spreading it any new diseases would more likely come from smuggled animals than ones that have been through a quarantine and testing process

done recently by one of our more learned forum members some of our reptile members chose to take part in the study

who knows? there has only been one study done on salmonella in exotic reps in nz

that wildlife massey is a good site
