Poor owlet. Some creatures have a rough start to life, and this Spotted Eagle Owl fledgling is a good example. It obviously leapt from its nest to begin exploring the world, and promptly broke its leg in the process!
Thankfully it was found and Angelique brought it in to the rehab, where we are doing everything we can to help it. The break is in a difficult place to pin, so for now the owlet had been fitted with a splint and is getting weekly vet checks to monitor the progress of the healing bone.
We love what we do, and how we do it...
We can't do it without help though. There are a lot of animals, and just a few of us, so please consider supporting our work. Our wildlife patients need all the help they can get!
