Fox Bandage Change

This Red Fox was recently hit by a car. She has a fractured front limb and a laceration on one hind limb. Here, the team has anesthetized the fox so they can change the bandage on her hind limb.

Clinic Update

The wildlife ward is still pretty quiet this week, though we have added a couple of cases. We now have a Canadian Goose with injuries most likely due to trauma. The goose had surgery on her fractured leg this morning to place an external fixator to help stabilize the limb. By this evening, she was back to her feisty self.

Clinic Update

The ward is fairly quiet this week. We tend to see fewer patients when it's cold, and the last week has been no exception. We do have Freida, a red-eared slider who will be spending the rest of the winter in the ward, a great horned owl, a morning dove, and Neil, an American Crow with a fractured left metacarpal.

Our first WMC executive board meeting of the new year is this evening, and the new members will be taking over their positions. The volunteers who will be leaving their executive positions tonight have done a lot of great work for the clinic over the last year, and the board will definitely miss them!
