Initially, a concerned member of the public brought it to our friends at California Wildlife Center, who then transferred it to International Bird Rescue\u2019s Los Angeles team so that they could wash it and provide it with further care.<\/p>\n<p>Besides being oiled, the bird also had minor toe lesions caused by the bird\u2019s very sensitive feet being out of the water for days.<\/p>\n<p>After stabilizing the loon for many days with the help of tube feedings of <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-piscivore\/\">EmerAid IC Piscivore<\/a> and IV fluids, it was strong enough to be washed by the staff. After the wash, the bird and the team had to start the process of getting it waterproof so that it could live in water full-time again before being released.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-12361\" src=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/common-loon-b-ibr-20240328-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"common loon held by hands to show oil covering feathers\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/common-loon-b-ibr-20240328-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/common-loon-b-ibr-20240328-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/common-loon-b-ibr-20240328-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/common-loon-b-ibr-20240328.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Common loons usually take a long time to go through this process, as their feathers are very long and the birds get stressed easily, but this bird was able to quickly become waterproof again and feel well enough to eat on its own.<\/p>\n<p>After spending about three weeks in care, the bird was successfully released back into the wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A common loon contaminated by natural oil seep suffers several health issues that International Bird Rescue staff are able to help the bird overcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":12356,"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-12354","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 -
