First patient of 2010!

Western Screech Owl

A western screech owl #1 was brought into the wildlife care center on New Years Day.  The little owl was injured from a severe impact, most likely from being either hit by a car or a window collision.  It has severe neurologic symptoms including shock, is unable to stand (falls over), and its head is held to one side.  Head trauma and neurological injuries have a guarded prognosis.  This owl is showing some signs of improvement but only time will tell.

Western Screech Owl 2

UPDATE: January 9, 2010

The western screech owl is continuing to improve.  As of today he is perching and starting to eat on its own.  It is not much more vocal and feisty.

We are able to provide a place for these and thousands of other injured and orphaned wildlife to recover. If you would like to make a donation to help, please specify your donation is for the Wildlife Care Center.
