<::: There is a new patient at WCV

Eagle #09-0738

Posted Image

This young Bald Eaglet — the 21st Bald Eagle admitted to the Center thus far in 2009 — was found in a nest in Warren County, along the North Fork of the Shenandoah River, by a team of reseachers from Virginia Tech working on an eaglet banding project. The researchers noticed that the eaglet had an injury to its right leg and brought the bird to the Center.

Upon admission, Center veterinarians found that the eagle was thin and dehydrated, with a bruised sternum. Radiographs revealed that the eagle had a mid-shaft fracture of the right leg. The eagle was treated with fluids, pain medications, and anti-inflammatories.

On May 21, the Center veterinary team, led by Dr. Elizabeth Daut, operated on the eaglet and pinned the fracture in the bird’s leg. The vets believe that growth plates on the leg bone are not involved and are guardly optimistic about the eaglet’s chances. The bird is currently being housed in the Center’s critical care chamber. Several months of recuperation would be expected.

Regan, so glad that you are starting to feel better. I liked your idea of visualizing an eagle and taking an eagle totem with you during your surgery. Continued thoughts for healing headed your way. I sure do miss the Lemonwood posts in nest obs, but I know you are enjoying a well-deserved retirement.

Naturegal - Got busy yesterday so didn't get a chance to reply. I love Edmonton it is a beautiful friendly city. Lots of parks and walking/biking trails along the River Valley. Lots to do and see. Moved here from Ontario last year and don't regret it one bit. You should come to Edmonton with your husband sometime, he can work and you can sight see. Would really like to go to Hornby Island and see if I can visit where Ma & Pa Hornby live, won't be this year but next year hopefully. Would also like to go to see where the Sydney Eagles live.

Barb
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada :D

Barb - Hubby is retired now so no more business trips. I want to go to Catalina to see our eagles in the next year.
