This follow-up post is in response to the many requests I have had for an 
update. The owl is fiesty as ever and eating well. It ate two mice last 
night and one today. 
My thoughts at this point are it was weak from parasites and then suffered 
a reltively minor injury.
It reluctantly took the antibiotic and dewormer this a.m.. I am heading to 
the clinic to give the evening treatment and check the traps for fresh 
mice. It will go to rehab tomorrow. If it continues to progress, will stay 
there until ready to be released. If it does not continue to gain weight 
and get stronger, it will likely go to an avian veterinarian (which, 
beyond basic care and stabilization, I am not).
The goal is release on the farm from which it came. I will post the final 
outcome when I know it.
