content: This 2 month-old female colt (hatched 5 June 2004) swallowed a 5" plastic cable tie 9 Aug, and was transported from ICA/Necedah? to UW Madison for endoscopic removal 10 Aug. Procedure went well, recovery seemed normal, and the bird was transported back. Some movement was heard in the crate during transport, but did not seem excessive. When they got to the destination, the bird could not rise and they discovered a closed femur fracture. Bird apparently struggled, fracture became open, they headed back to UW vet school, and either on the way or at the vet school during exam, the bird arrested and died.
