"This adult female bald eagle was rescued on April 13, 2020 just north of Honor, Michigan. Her rescue was rather adventuresome requiring a chase into a thick and dense swamp. The initial exam showed signs that this bird had been caught, and released, from a leg hold trap. Both of her feet were severely damaged. Equally sad was that she had a brood patch which meant she was either incubating eggs or brooding young chicks.
For the first 24 hours she was given fluids, medications for pain, some fresh bites of fish and made comfortable in a deeply padded and cozy crate.
We started her on Magna Wave (PEMF) treatments over the next 7 days. PEMF (pulsating electromagnetic frequencies) helps to increase the flow of oxygenated blood and circulation which speeds up the healing process. Since it is non painful and passive the raptor does not even know she is receiving this treatment. The PEMF pad is placed under the intensive care crate which delivers low, medium or high pulsating frequencies. We set up 40 minute treatments, three times per day. After each session she was moved into a clean crate and given fresh meat which she eagerly accepted. The eagle showed signs of improvements daily . . . the open wounds healed nicely and she began to get movement and sensation back in most of her toes. On day 8 she was moved to our 100 foot outside aviary where she could gain back her strength, fly, take a bath, move her feet and toes better and bask in the sunshine. She continued to enjoy, and expect, the free meals delivered daily.
Nineteen days later, on May 2, 2020, she was released near the area where she had been found. She flew off strongly and with a sense of purpose . . . she knew she was home.
My best wishes that we all stay safe and healthy during these troubling times."
