This beautiful tawny owl was brought into us recently after being found lethargic and struggling to fly.
Emma, our vet, checked it over thoroughly and found that the poor bird had a bad case of canker; an ulcerous disease of the throat and crop caused by the protozoan Trichomonas gallinae. The infection made it difficult to eat and the bird was quite thin.
After medication and food, the bird was moved into our quarantine facility and will receive round the clock care until it has recovered!
Please wish it luck!
