The patient was a young, juvenile wood stork. At less than 1.5 kilograms (about 3.3 pounds), this little wood stork was thin and emaciated. As a growing bird, he desperately needed proper nutrition and sufficient calories!<\/p>\n<p>Due to the severity of his emaciation, however, we had to be very careful about re-introducing food into his diet so as not to overwhelm his digestive system and to avoid what is known as refeeding syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>We used <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-piscivore\/\">EmerAid IC Piscivore<\/a>, an easily digestible formula, to get the young wood stork\u2019s digestive system started and to give him some much needed calories and nutrition. After a couple of days of EmerAid, we were able to start slowly introducing fish, which he took to with lots of enthusiasm!<\/p>\n<p>In six short weeks, the wood stork gained over a kilogram (about 2.2 pounds) and started flying! When he was released on a marshy island in August, he immediately flew high above the trees, circled the marsh a couple of times and disappeared over the treeline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A growing wood stork is found emaciated and The Avian Conservation Center\/Center For Birds Of Prey provided nutritional care to help him recover in six weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":10424,"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-10423","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 -
