Some have asked how the Northern Saw Whet Owl is faring... he is still struggling to use his legs and stand due to a serious spinal and head trauma from his mishap with a window. He can now eat off the forceps without assistance and he does pull himself out of his fleece donut.. he's feeling better from the head trauma but we are still in need of healing to recover proper mobility. It's been over one week, so needless to say, we are VERY attached over here. Time will tell and we are all trying so hard to get him through this. Cold Laser therapy has begun so we anticipate more progress. Each patient requires unique care and each day brings us more admits. Recently, many have supported us by purchasing items off our Amazon wish list. This really helps and since we can't thank each person who has donated individually, we want you to know we are grateful. We could not manage the intense caseloads at APCH without the public becoming involved. Our sincere gratitude on behalf of ourselves and our wildlife. Thank you.

It was a long night of worrying but our NSWO-Northern Saw Whet Owl patient has survived the first night. This tiny owl struck a glass window and is suffering from the impact which has caused a concussion and currently a spinal injury. We always hold concern regarding internal bleeding which can quietly sweep them away and often they choose to leave us during the dark hours of the night. Every morningl get up with a flutter in my heart as I make my way to the critical care ward in "please please please" mode. Each day/night cycle increases his chances of survival and it's really not up to us rehabilitators. We can only provide a safe space and supportive care/meds while each patient faces the battle of life or death. We are really hoping this little one pulls through!! But honored to help him either way. Send healing his way!!! He could use some.
