Trying to get more fluids in Raggedy Andy. Apple juice got a big reaction.

Mr. Raggedy Andy is making some slow improvements! He's now moving all limbs and moving his head up 🥰 Taking it slow but steady!!

The squirrels wanted me to let everyone know their food is 20% off right now. Chonk is especially excited about that 😆 Both Amazon and Chewy are offering the same price. Chewy's promo code is CYBER20

The new addition had to go to First Flight Veterinary Hospital and Mobile Services today to see the amazing Dr. Rook. He can't walk but does have movement in his limbs. He can also lift and turn his head. Dr. Rook gave him a very thorough exam and x-ray. Thankfully the x-ray did not show any fractures! With the location of the puncture wounds he has we are speculating he was picked up by a bird of prey and was dropped. He has made some improvements since his arrival so the plan is to let him rest and continue with antibiotics and anti inflammatories. To ensure he is getting all the nutrition he needs, he is currently being tube fed. This guy has a ways to go but I am definitely more hopeful after today's visit!!

This time of year doesn't bring in many animals. The ones that do show up are typically sick or have injuries. This sweet boy was found by a kind gentleman on the side of the road. It appears he was the victim of an animal attack. He has a couple puncture wounds that have been cleaned up. He's been given something to help with pain and antibiotics have been started. He's resting comfortably.

As always, donations towards care of all the animals in rehab is appreciated. Depending on how he progresses over the next few days, he may be visiting our friends First Flight Veterinary Hospital ❤️

This is one group of squirrels that will be overwintering with me. One of these guys is taking his winter weight very seriously. He went straight to Chonk 🤣😂

Great info from our local large bird rehabber!

With this cold and windy weather, please be on the lookout for Raptors in trouble. If you see them on the ground, please contact a rehabilitator immediately. The birds possibly could just be hunting and on the ground with prey, but if they stay there, then something isn't right and they need help. (Raptors: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/a-list-of-birds-of-prey-or-raptors.html)

This is a first year eagle I picked up yesterday. When I got there, I found that the bird had been on the ground for at least two if not three days. It was simply too far gone and died during the night. Once they get too far down there isn't any turning it around.

Very sad.
