From Middle TN Raptor Center

This big beautiful girl came to us yesterday and has what am almost certain is a broken left humerus. We always like to get confirmation with an x-ray but our avian vet was unable to fit us in today.

This is the downfall of being a rehabber...you can't always get into a vet quickly. Most of the time we are able to diagnose and treat these birds ourselves, but as with anything if I am even slightly on the fence about a diagnosis, I don't hesitate to have a veterinarian confirm.

If this is what suspect, and the break is on the joint this bird will have a grim outcome. It has been a rough season for us. We have had some very sick birds come to us and many have had to be euthanized or passed away before we could euthanize. I am hoping I am wrong about this one because she is mean and hateful which equals a force to be reckoned with in nature.
