They were able to remove this fabric, but knew he needed further assistance.<\/p>\n<p>When he arrived at the Avian Conservation Center in Awendaw, South Carolina, he was extremely emaciated, anemic, had a parasite infestation and was struggling to regulate his temperature. Great blue herons suffer extremely high stress in captivity as well, and his future was uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>The staff at the Avian Conservation Center was able to provide him with subcutaneous fluids as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-piscivore\/\">EmerAid Intensive Care<\/a> three times a day while he stabilized. After two days of EmerAid, he began receiving a fish slurry, which still contained some EmerAid, three times a day.<\/p>\n<p>As his temperature regulated and his blood values improved, he began being treated for his parasite infestation. While this was occurring he continued to receive fish slurry, but was also given a few small meals a day which he ate readily.<\/p>\n<p>His condition continued to improve and he was able to eat full meals and move to an outdoor enclosure while continuing treatment, allowing him to regain strength needed for release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An unhealthy great blue heron&#8217;s future was uncertain when he entered rehab at The Avian Conservation Center, but care and good food saved him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":7394,"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-7390","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 -
