Two days later they brought him to Tamarack Wildlife Center.<\/p>\n<p>We found that the dehydrated young owl had developed an impacted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutbirds.org\/news\/what-are-owl-pellets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pellet<\/a> after being fed by well-intentioned members of the public. He was given subcutaneous and oral fluids to regain his hydration, and then received <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-carnivore\/\">EmerAid Intensive Care Carnivore<\/a> several times a day in order to deliver nutrition without adding more mass to the impacted pellet.<\/p>\n<p>After five long days, a massive pellet was regurgitated and the relieved-looking owlet returned to a solid diet with gradually more \u201ccast material\u201d to ensure he was casting\/creating pellets well.<\/p>\n<p>Over the summer, the handsome young owl was co-housed with a non-releasable foster mother owl and another wayward owlet. He lived with this improvised family until he was ready for release in the fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A great horned owlet develops a massive, impacted pellet, but tender care from the Tamarack Wildlife Center helps him overcome this and recuperate to be ready for release back to the wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":7490,"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-7487","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 -
