The following story was shared with us by the Progressive Animal Welfare Society in Washington State.
On February 4, the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) received an adult barn owl that arrived weak and with a fractured clavicle. The patient was also suspected to be suffering from anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning.
The bird was not handling force-feeds, so we started EmerAid IC Carnivore tube feedings. We were able to stabilize and provide the required nutrition until he started self-feeding.
The EmerAid diet was essential to saving this bird’s life, as he was too weak to process whole foods on intake but really needed the calories to recover.
