Update on the Short Eared Owl rescued in Pennsylvania the other day.
From Raven Ridge Wildlife Center
We are absolutely delighted to share some exhilarating news! After a long period of anticipation, the surgery on the Short-Eared Owl was a resounding success. This procedure was incredibly delicate, involving a bone as thin as an eggshell and the diameter of a pencil. Our dedicated team, led by the skilled Dr. Libby and Dr. Parsons, handled it with utmost care, expertly inserting two slender rods to ensure the bone aligns perfectly for healing.
The X-rays confirm that the rods are securely in place. Now, the exciting journey of healing and rehabilitation begins! We can’t express enough gratitude to the fantastic team at Companion Animal Hospital for their unwavering support of our patients. When we all work together we are making a difference!
