Bald Eagle #17-1019 update

On the morning of May 31, the veterinary team were pleased to find that Bald Eagle #17-1019 ate overnight on his own! The eagle was perching and more feisty. Dr. Peach noted that the necrotic skin injury on the wing is scabbing over; the team has been keeping the area moist with an antibiotic gel. The scab is beginning to peel away; the veterinary team will monitor the injury closely, and hope to find fresh, healthy skin underneath.

Physical and laser therapy continues.
