โ€œA great horned owl being found in the road, contained and treated at Think Wild – all while looking extremely irritated with us! Donโ€™t worry bud, we donโ€™t want you to have to stay long here either. Weโ€™ve got the owl on severe emaciation protocol, and the prognosis is still guarded.โ€

Update: Unfortunately the owl’s prognosis was not one of improvement, and it was determined euthanasia was the best course of action. It’s important to include this information — it’s sad, but we must be upfront with the reality that not all of the patients make it. We can be assured this GHOW was in the best care possible, and regardless of outcome we applaud the incredible efforts by TWCO.
