On presentation the bird was quiet with a wide-based stance and mild head tremors. The bird also had poor feather quality and a subtle right-wing droop.<\/p>\n<p>The primary differential or potential cause for its condition was <a href=\"http:\/\/crowclinic.org\/articles\/washed-away-in-a-sea-of-red-the-impact-of-harmful-algal-blooms-on-wildlife-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brevetoxicosis<\/a>, also known as red- tide poisoning. A possible trauma or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merckvetmanual.com\/exotic-and-laboratory-animals\/pet-birds\/mycotic-diseases-of-pet-birds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aspergillosis<\/a> infection may have occurred concurrently or secondary to being affected with red-tide, causing the wing droop. The bird had a body condition score of 1\/5 and weighed 1.10 kilograms (about 2.4 pounds).<\/p>\n<p>We gavage-fed 3 to 5 percent of its body weight of <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-piscivore\/\">EmerAid Intensive Care Piscivore<\/a> until he was well enough to eat whole fish. The bird\u2019s weight fluctuated slightly over the following few days in care, but he was bright, alert, and responsive.<\/p>\n<p>Once the patient started eating fish on his own, he was moved outside to a flight cage. After 13 days in care, the cormorant gained 200 grams (about 0.4 pounds) and had a body score of 2.5\/5 at the time of its release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A double-crested cormorant with multiple symptoms receives expert care from the Clinic For The Rehabilitation Of Wildlife so that it regains health and gets released back to the wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":7628,"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-7626","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 -
