This week at Bird TLC we got a new juvenile bald eagle in from Dutch Harbor. He is weak, has labored breathing even though his lungs and heart sound fine, but he shows all the signs of being toxic-he probably ate something really nasty he shouldn't have. We actually get quite a few eagles through the clinic like this.
Here's my friend and work collegue Jen holding him while Cindy tubes him some ground up fish and vitamin juice, he vomited it right back up.
We gave him an IV of fluids the next day as he was very dehydrated. He is not eating on his own so its not looking like the best outcome. I have named him goldielocks as he has the most beautiful coloured feathers on the top of his head.
On the way back to Ina's this guy was in a neighbours yard happily diggin away ..
