Ever find yourself in a sticky situation? This Great- horned Owl sure did.

These are some before and after photos of patient 2105, a beautiful Great-horned Owl who found themselves stuck in a manure pile on a farm. 2105 was most likely pursuing prey or misjudged a landing and was then entrapped in the manure pile where they clearly had quite the struggle.

Unfortunately, this owl did some significant damage to a handful of primary feathers and was extremely dehydrated. After being cleaned up, our team got to work providing fluid therapy and assessing for any additional damage. 2105 is still with us after 29 days of care and will hopefully continue on a path to release.
