Abstract

An Indian ring neck parakeet was presented with lameness of the right pelvic limb and inability to fly. On clinical examination, a crepitus was felt on palpation at humerus and tibiotarsal region. Radiographic examination confirmed slight oblique diaphyseal fracture of right humerus and simple, transverse, distal-diaphyseal fracture of right tibiotarsus. Bird was anesthetized with Isoflurane. Surgery was performed for introduction of K-wire to immobilize the fractured bones. The bird recovered uneventfully with complete weight bearing on affected limb.
