During the past 5 days, we have performed surgeries on two black vultures to repair tarsometatarsus fractures. The first photo shows the pre-surgery radiograph of patient #21919. It’s very obvious in the rad, but the injury was caused by gunshot.The second set of radiographs show the pre- and post-surgery images of patient #21907. The injury cause is unknown. Leg fractures are tough on these heavy birds, but both surgeries went well (despite some anesthetic difficulties) and we are hopeful for full recoveries! -- source link
