Happy Wildlife Wednesday!

We had a friendly visitor hunting for lizards in our front lawn, and yes it was successful in catching a few!

This is a Great White Egret (not to be mistaken for a Great White Heron) is a large white bird that can reach a height of about 4 feet, they have a long yellowish/orange bill and long black legs (Great Herons have much lighter legs) and they are a little smaller then a Heron. They live in freshwater, brackish, and marine wetlands and are common through much of the United States, as well as Central and South America, Africa, Australia, Asia, and some parts of Europe.

They stalk their prey by slowly walking or standing motionless in the shallows and forage with their webbed feet, taking, and probing the bottom, and snapping up fish in a matter of milliseconds with their quick bill reflex. In addition to fish, their diet includes invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, or other birds, and small mammals.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, most pet parents know the danger chocolate poses to dogs, but this is a reminder that certain flowers can also be extremely toxic to your pets. Some of the more popular holiday varieties include:

Lilies (all varieties): Kidney failure in cats 🐈

Chrysanthemums (Daisy/Mum): Vomiting, diarrhea, hypersalivation, incoordination, or dermatitis in cats and dogs 🐈🐕

Baby’s Breath: GI upset such as vomiting and diarrhea in both cats and dogs 🐈🐕

Daffodils: Small ingestions can cause GI upset. Large ingestions cause convulsions, low blood pressure, tremors and cardiac arrhythmias in both cats and dogs. Bulbs are the most poisonous part. 🐈🐕

Tulips: Vomiting, depression, diarrhea, hypersalivation in cats and dogs. Highest concentration of toxin in bulb. 🐈🐕

Roses: Although the petals are non-toxic, the thorns can be dangerous if your pet steps on or swallows the stem! 🐈🐕

If you suspect your pet has consumed toxic flowers or plants immediately contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 right away.

Happy Wildlife Wednesday!

This is a Juvenile Yellow-Crowned Night Heron, sometimes known as the “Squawk” because of their distinctive loud call. They are native to the South Eastern United States and are often found in vegetated areas associated with shallow waters. They seek both saltwater and fresh water areas such as marshes, lagoons, swamps, streams, and other areas that are regularly flooded.

They primarily forage at dusk and during darkness and their primary diet is crabs, crayfish, other crustaceans, insects, worms, and small fish. They spend daylight hours perched in tree limbs and bushes generally over the water hidden by foliage.

During courtship, males perform a neck-stretching display by raising and then quickly lowering their heads while fanning their shoulder plumes. They form socially monogamous pairs, and often maintain their bonds from year to year. They often nest in trees in small colonies, with both parents participating in nest building, laying 2 to 6 eggs. The young stay close throughout the breeding season. Juveniles take up to three years to obtain adult plumage.

Yes, this little juvenile was squawking at us, loud enough for the whole hospital to hear! 🌴🪶🌴

Happy Wildlife Wednesday!

This is a Tufted Titmouse that is off to rehabilation The Ark Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation! The Tufted Titmouse is a small songbird and is in the chickaddee family.

They are only found in North America and were once thought of as a southern species due to the warm climate in the south. However, they have increasingly been spreading their range northward up into Canada due to warming winters, an increase in winter bird-feeding, and large areas of maturing woodland.

They do not excavate their own nesting cavity, and instead use natural holes in trees and abandoned cavities excavated by woodpeckers and also use artificial nesting boxes at times. On occasion, a young titmouse will stay with its parents into the next nesting season to help its parents raise the next brood. 🌲🪵🌲🪵

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) almost half of dogs over the age of 10 will develop cancer. Dogs get cancer at roughly the same rate as humans, while there is less information available about the rate of cancer in cats. February 4th is World Cancer Day, which aims to raise awareness and improve education about cancer.

Early detection is crucial when it comes to cancer in pets. Watch out for signs like lumps, weight loss, or difficulty breathing. If you suspect your furry friend may have cancer, don't hesitate to reach out at 904-824-8123 ❤️

Happy Wildlife Wednesday!

A barred owl was brought into us a few weeks ago with a cracked beak. X-rays were done to determine the severity of the injury and it was determined that a superficial fracture (simple fracture with minimal soft tissue damage) of the beak had occurred. Luckily with a superficial fracture, the beak can recover as it grows out and this owl is now in rehabilation at the The Ark Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation and will be re-released back into the wild once its beak has healed! ❤️🪵🦉🌲🦉🪵❤️
