We started the owl on oral analgesics and esophageal tube feeding of <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-carnivore\/\">EmerAid Intensive Care Carnivore<\/a> on the day of intake and offered a mouse to determine appetite.<\/p>\n<p>After the first day, we knew that the bird had little to no appetite and the Emeraid Intensive Care Carnivore was continued. A few days later, this Saw-whet was back on its feet (literally!) with an increased weight of 90 grams and was eating on its own.<\/p>\n<p>We know that without digestible nutrition for those first few days, the outcome for this owl may have been different. The patient now eats whole prey on its own, weighs 92 grams, and should make a full recovery. We hope to release it back into the wild this year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6010 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/WRNCU-Owl2-288x300.jpg\" alt=\"owl being fed Emeraid\" width=\"288\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/WRNCU-Owl2-288x300.jpg 288w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/WRNCU-Owl2.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a traumatic injury, this Northern Saw-whet owl was nourished with EmerAid IC Carnivore until it gained back an appetite. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":6010,"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-6008","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 v27.1.1 -
