Well, bunnies is your thing, but...
好吧,兔子是你的事,但...
Oh, I love my birds.

I'm not about my birds.
我不是為了我的鳥兒。
When I first got out of vet school, I wanted to do only birds.
剛從獸醫學校畢業時,我只想做鳥類。
I really appreciate you taking the time.
非常感謝您抽出時間。
No problem.
沒問題。
Let me start with the films, and we'll just get a plan of what's broke, where it's broke.
讓我先從電影說起,我們先來了解一下什麼地方壞了,哪裡壞了。
We've got some pain meds on board now, and we're gonna go ahead and take the radiographs on Brody.
我們準備了一些止痛藥 現在要給布洛迪拍片了
Fingers crossed that he's not gonna need surgery.
希望他不需要動手術。
Oh, honey.
哦,親愛的
How old are they when they start getting there?
他們多大的時候開始有這種能力?
Pretty feathers.
漂亮的羽毛
Pretty young, 6 weeks.
很年輕,才 6 周。
He's just a child.
他只是個孩子
They grow incredibly fast.
它們長得非常快。
He's big.
他很高大
I think they're one of the few animals that get cuter as they get older.
我覺得它們是少數幾種越老越可愛的動物之一。
Come here, buddy.
過來 夥計
Breathing okay?
呼吸正常嗎?
Yeah, he's doing good.
是啊,他幹得不錯。
Oh, okay.
哦,好吧
I think I make my staff a little crazy because I'm always hypervigilant.
我覺得我讓我的員工有點抓狂,因為我總是過度警惕。
With exotic pets especially, they can die very quickly with no warning signs.
尤其是外來寵物,它們可能會在沒有任何徵兆的情況下迅速死亡。
All right, little bird.
好了,小鳥
All right.
好吧
Let me show you.
讓我演示給你看
He's broken.
他崩潰了
That's the fracture.
這就是骨折。
Now, honestly, looking at this fracture, it would be a completely legitimate choice and not a bad choice at all to manage him just in a figure-eight bandage.
老實說,從骨折的情況來看,只用八字形繃帶包紮是完全合理的,也不失為一個好的選擇。
Really?
真的嗎?
It would, and this is why.
這就是原因。
They heal incredibly quickly.
它們的癒合速度驚人。
Birds, in general, form calluses on broken bones incredibly fast.
一般來說,鳥類在骨折處結繭的速度快得驚人。
So if he's fine and it's staying in place, then we can just recheck him at 7 to 10 days-ish.
是以,如果他沒有問題,而且能保持在原位,那麼我們就可以在 7 到 10 天左右對他進行復查。
I'm glad to hear that.
我很高興聽到這個消息。
If I went ahead to do surgery, you're dealing with a tiny bone fragment at the top that's literally only this big.
如果我動手術,你要處理的是頂部的一小塊骨頭碎片,實際上只有這麼大。
That's not a big enough piece of bone to get an effective number of pins in it.
這塊骨頭還不夠大,不能有效地在上面插針。
There is a possibility of causing more damage than good by trying to go in there surgically.
如果試圖通過手術進入那裡,可能會造成更大的傷害。
I'm really glad that the outcome is what it is.
我真的很高興結果是這樣的。
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
是啊,是啊,是啊。
Exactly.
沒錯。
It's the best, and it's not short-cutting me either.
它是最棒的,也不會讓我走捷徑。
It's really not.
其實不然。
If this was my own bird, I think this is what I would do.
如果這是我自己的鳥,我想我會這麼做。
I know that's what I would do.
我知道我會這麼做。
I know if it's coming from you, I feel very confident.
我知道如果是你說的,我就會很有信心。
The outcome for Brody is probably going to be that he's not going to be able to fly, but he will be able to at least have this wing in a functional enough posture to be able to perch and not having it drooping and tripping over it.
布羅迪的結果可能是它不能飛了,但至少它的翅膀可以保持足夠的功能性姿勢,可以棲息,不會因為翅膀下垂而被絆倒。
So I think he's destined for a pretty decent life.
所以我覺得他註定會過上體面的生活。
Knowing that all we have to do is just keep the bandage on there, bring him in a couple days to get it checked out, and then go from there, I'm super happy with the outcome.
我知道我們要做的就是繼續纏著繃帶,過幾天帶他來檢查一下,然後再繼續治療,我對結果非常滿意。
