He was extremely emaciated and barely over 500 grams (about 1.1 pounds). The average for a red-tailed hawk is closer to 1,000 grams (about 2.2 pounds).<\/p>\n<p>Due to his emaciation, we used <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-carnivore\/\">EmerAid IC Carnivore<\/a> formula to give this hawk some much-needed calories and to provide a gentle jumpstart for his digestive system.<\/p>\n<p>After about four days of tube feeding EmerAid, we started introducing small amounts of skinned mice into his diet. We carefully increased the amount of whole food until we were certain that he was able to process everything well.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, we were able to transition him off of EmerAid and out into an enclosure where he gained some much-needed weight and strength.<\/p>\n<p>We are pleased to say that this young hawk was able to be released after a few weeks of rehabilitation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A red-tailed hawk unable to fend for himself suffers emaciation but gets help from The Avian Conservation Center\/Center For Birds Of Prey to recover and be released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":10409,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
