Great Horned Owlet #16-0097 improved significantly during the past week and has been eating well. On March 17, Dr. Helen took follow-up radiographs, which confirmed that the fracture was stable and showed mineral bridging as well as callous formation at the site. Since the fracture was healing well, Dr. Helen removed the owlet’s splint. The vet staff closely monitored the owlet’s foot for swelling and, by March 21, the young owlet was using both legs and feet normally – grabbing towels and bearing his full weight.
