A juvenile bald eagle soared free after being released near Georgetown, PEI, by Dr. Marion Desmarchelier, AVC Zoo, Exotic Animals and Wildlife Medicine Service. The eagle was found trapped in a snare in the Georgetown area in November and was taken to AVC’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital. The bird spent ten days in the hospital, recovering from severe capture myopathy (renal failure caused by exhaustion and stress of trying to escape from the snare), and wounds to its neck and one wing. Dr. Desmarchelier and a team of AVC students and staff treated the bird with fluid therapy, antibiotics, assisted feedings, wound care and massage of its injured wing.
