Jack was hit by a car on Superbowl Sunday and was gotten to me that night. He was pretty limp and didn't look so good...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He had a concussion with a boo-boo eye and blood coming out of his nose. I started him immediately on this non-steroid anti-inflammatory stuff that reduces swelling on the brain and helps with pain management. I also started using steroid drops in his eye after I made sure there weren't any scratches on his cornea. He didn't want to eat so I hand fed him some yummy mice.<br />
<br />

Here he is in about a week. He started self feeding and was still a very kind patient as he allowed me to continue medicating his eye.<br />
<br />
After about week three he really started improving and I moved him out to the big boy chamber...<br />

I was a little worried about him the first day, because he was having trouble finding his food that I dropped through the chute. I decided the next day that I would pull him back into the house, but when I went out the next morning, he had gobbled the mice all down. "I want MORE! Those were quite good!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We six and he was ready to go back home. Whenever possible, the grown-ups need to go back near to the pick-up site because that is their territory and their mate is waiting and wondering, "I sent Jack out for a gallon of milk and, POOF, he just disappeared!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, Jack didn't look both ways when he crossed the street and so he had to make a little detour via Canton, where some medicine, food and love and sometimes help them find their way back home! </div>

One last look-see to make sure all systems are 'go'. It's patients like 'Jack' that remind me why I do what I do, he was kind and patient to the very last second and I released him, instead of flying out of fright until he dropped dead, he quietly settled upon the rooftop of the Good Samaritan's house for a good long while, then hop-scotched up an beautiful oak, ruffled his feathers and watched in amusement as the the last few songbirds that hadn't yet gone to bed yet stopped by to greet him...</div>

This short link below is of "Harry", a beautiful adult male Red-shouldered hawk that was struck by a vehicle yesterday. The right eye might be permanently damaged because the pupil isn't responding to light. <br />
<br />
I fluroscein stained the eye to make sure there was no uptake and once I saw the cornea wasn't compromised, started using Prednisone eye drops to help reduce inflammation and to help the blood resorb in the anterior chamber. The other thing I'm doing is dosing with oral Meloxicam, which is a non-steroid anti-inflammatory which reduces brain swelling, which can lead to damaging the optic nerve. Once the optic nerve is compromised, the bird goes blind and has to be euthanized. <br />
<br />
Releasing one-eyed diurnal raptors is possible and since he is an adult, might be a good release candidate, but only after he can pass the live prey testing, which is where a lot of resources are spent...on live food, because I have to purchase those at the retail level and that hurts the pocketbook! <br />

Owls frequently collide with vehicles because they are gliding close to the ground, listening/pursuing their supper...<br />
<br />
Dr. Martinez always allows me to make the decision as to how far we take a patient and I decided to give the little guy a chance. Started him on steroid eyedrops to try to clear up some of the blood in the anterior chamber, oral fluids, along with oral metacam that helps with pain and inflammation. Now we wait...<br />

Normally, the chickens are chomping at the bit to get out of their coop in the morning, but on this particular morn, they just stood there looking at me like I was nuts or something and not moving a muscle. Then I heard Sam calling from his chamber on the other side of the barn, which isn't unusual because he usually either hoots or chortles when he hears me coming up the trail. THEN, I heard a LOUD call from right ABOVE me. A massive female GHO was out in broad daylight, flirting with Sam and giving the girls a once over while she was at it. Man, was she ever beautiful... That is the reason I have a two roof system on my chambers because when a wild one drops down for a visit, there won't be any accidental talon locking... Gots to protect my babes... *sniff*<br />

This beautiful little male Red-tailed hawk has presented with a fractured right wing and I believe to be old, thus not repairable. We're going in for a radiograph tomorrow for the verdict. I'm still looking for an educational bird, so we'll see how it goes. I miss my dear Mina. It's been almost 4 years to the day. <br />

She stayed with me a month and ate hundreds of dollars worth of rats, so if you would like to help us out by making a tax deductible contribution, we sure would appreciate it.

Tired of giving meaningless gifts to each other for Christmas? How about giving to a non-profit in your recipient's name? Even if it isn't HawkTalk, if you know of a local, grass roots organization that is trying to make a difference in caring for the helpless, it's just good karma....m.</div>
