The first admission of the week was a Great Horned Owl who tested positive for Highly Pathogenic Avian I(influenza (HPAI). The owl was found just a couple miles from the center. It was displaying typical symptoms of HPAI and was euthanized since we cannot successfully treat the disease.

Next was a Red-tailed Hawk from the La Grande area with a femur fracture. Because the fracture was very close to the hip, the prognosis for a functional joint was very poor and the hawk was also euthanized.

An American Crow was found near Boardman with a humerus fracture, another injury with a very poor prognosis making euthanasia the best alternative.

The last admission this week was a Western Screech Owl with a scapula fracture. Although the fracture is close to the shoulder joint, it was easy to immobilize by wrapping the wing to the body. We are hoping for a good outcome.
