The week started with winter weather, and has ended with spring-like temperatures. There were just two admissions. First was a starving Great Horned Owl. The exam revealed an old shoulder injury which prevented the owl from flying. There was nothing we could do to correct the damage in the shoulder and the owl’s emaciation was so advanced we cold not have successfully treated it.

A Sharp-shinned Hawk flew into a window dislocating its left shoulder, elbow and wrist and fracturing its radius and ulna. The damage was not repairable and the hawk was euthanized.
