this recent patient,the female
Bald Eagle.
This Bald Eagle hit the side
of a truck while she was eating something on the ground and the
truck passed her(which she regurgitated once she arrived at CROW).
She sustained head trauma and a fractured clavicle. It has been
three weeks and she is just beginning to take short flights. Once
she is flying consistently she'll move to the 150 foot flight
for rehab prior to release. We've been informed that her mate
is waiting patiently at her nest.
Jie Gu San
(made by Dr.Xie's
Jing Tang Herbal) was used as the primary herbal
in the initial treatment to promote healing of the bone. “She
started to stress with daily handling so we needed to put her
in a place and just let her heal” P.J. explained.
“I have noticed that
with the use of Jie Gu San in most cases
it cuts the healing time in half”, P. J. stated. With the faster
healing time, the animals are released at a more rapid rate and
back to the environment that they are comfortable with.
According to the latest information
from Dr. Deitschel, the eagle was released and met up with her
mate of ten years and are nesting together!
