From Raven Ridge Wildlife Center
As the clean-up and assessment of Hurricane Debby's impact continues, we are also encountering displaced, injured, or abandoned wildlife. One such case is that of a Great Horned Owl that was brought to us during the worst part of the storm. The owl was cold, rain-soaked, and had two infected wounds on its head requiring immediate medical attention. After receiving care in a warm incubator and necessary fluids, the owl is on the path to a full recovery.
As we are handling a high volume of wildlife calls, we assure you that we will respond promptly. It is crucial to remember not to provide food or water to any animal, and refrain from administering medical treatment or medications. Doing so could exacerbate the situation and pose a threat to the animal's well-being, potentially leading to its demise.
I thought this was a Screech as I was scrolling through! The water has really matted down its feathers.
It has the Barred Owl frown on as well.
