This big beautiful girl came to us yesterday and has what am almost certain is a broken left humerus. We always like to get confirmation with an x-ray but our avian vet was unable to fit us in today.
This is the downfall of being a rehabber…you can’t always get into a vet quickly. Most of the time we are able to diagnose and treat these birds ourselves, but as with anything if I am even slightly on the fence about a diagnosis, I don’t hesitate to have a veterinarian confirm.
If this is what suspect, and the break is on the joint this bird will have a grim outcome. It has been a rough season for us. We have had some very sick birds come to us and many have had to be euthanized or passed away before we could euthanize. I am hoping I am wrong about this one because she is mean and hateful which equals a force to be reckoned with in nature.
Pretty sure this is the owl bear you get in baldur’s gate
It does have an uncanny resemblance!
Fingers crossed. Those are bright and lively eyes.
She’s got a lot of fire in her. I hope she gets back to terrorizing the critters of her neighborhood soon!
