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. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
