Don't let this face fool you, this was a SPICY patient.
This female Great-Horned Owl came into us with some intense deep-tissue abdominal bruising. Dr. Rachel Loppe at confirmed that there was no internal bleeding with an ultrasound. We want to say a HUGE thank you to Dr. Loppe for her help!
This owl came to us lethargic and 'droopy' but very quickly turned around and made a speedy recovery. Her spiciness was revealed as she recovered--she became very angry and grabby! She was released less than four weeks post-intake.
How do we know she is a female even though GHOWs are monomorphic? Her weight: healthy females are BIG, and she was chonky!
Stay tuned. We will be sharing her release video soon. ๐ฆ
