Different evaluations are carried out in the areas of: biology: where its morphometry indicates that the biological development status of the animal is adult, sex not determined, high aversion to handling, active and alert, full plumage and in good condition, due to medical findings anesthetic protocol is carried out; veterinary: in the general physical examination the animal is admitted with a weight of 1.35 kg, temperature: 34.7 ° C, body condition: 2/5, heart rate: 152 bpm, respiratory rate: 113 rpm and mucous membranes: pink , the individual presents perforating wounds at the level of the ulnar radius humerus joint without alteration of the articular capsule and at the proximal level of the humerus with inflammation and hematomas in soft tissues, in addition to a proximal transverse fracture of the third metacarpus of the left wing; and zootechnics: specimen is admitted with inadequate weight and body condition parameters for its state of biological development. Reports feeding management prior to entry with red tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). Laboratory findings: total red blood cell count: 0.96 (baseline: 1.3 - 1.7 10³ / ul), hematocrit: 23 (baseline: 31.1 - 38.9%), MCV: 109 , 52 (baseline: 196.8-229.2 fl), MCH: 36.51 (baseline: 244.4 pg). Therapeutic approach: ketamine 40 mg / kg IM DU, dexamethasone 3mg / kg IM every 24 hours for 3 days, Ketoprofen 2mg / kg every 24 hours for 5 days IM, Enrofloxacin 10mg / kg IM every 24h for 5 days, Oversel® 3ml / 100kg IM every 24 hours for 5 days, hydration with ringer's lactate 10 ml SC DT every 24 hours according to evolution, bandage on the phalanx and metacarpophalangeal joint of the ITN.
