Truman Crashed Into Window and Final Vet Followup Visit

I took Truman to the vet for his final followup visit because he had flown into a window today and I wanted to be sure that he was ok from the crash and recovered from original injury as well. This is a detailed account of what happened, the vet visit, and results. Many photos, xrays, and a video are included to show you the wrap up of Truman's care for his injury.

Must say I love the picture of Truman with the Xray in the background! Now that's a money shot :) Good to hear he is well on the way to recover.

I don't know how much more I can take of this. I find myself now sobbing uncontrollably. I'm so scared to open up emails from you at this moment. I caught the last line that Truman seems to be doing better and the window crash didn't do too much damage, but honestly, I find myself too attached to Truman and so fearful of his health. Please go so slowly with him until he's fully recovered. I'm sorry to write this - I do admire you.

I agree that composition of the photo of Truman with the x-ray is eye-catching, and the caption is perfect. Actually amusing. Good advertising photo for the vet - guess they wouldn't give you a discount in return for its use.

I've not had a bird x-rayed before. How did they position Truman to get the view?

So now you will have to share with us your avian physical therapy techniques. Such a great educational site you have created!

Very happy to hear that Truman is well on the road to recovery. He sure gave you and a lot of people on this message board (and on the internet I'm sure) a good scare.

Here's hoping things calm down for you and Truman and you can get back to training him and enjoying each other's companionship.
