Working with Wildlife Inc. we have been saving tons of local wildlife. I purchased a digital x-ray unit to be used as it’s a basic and indispensable piece of equipment we need. Wildlife Inc. will pay me back in time. A fully grown Tern swal...lowed a fishing hook as seen in x-ray. This is a very common problem we encounter here. With some minor surgery and experience the hook was removed. Damen Hurd our workhorse is shown with patient. I also examined a baby Sand hill crane that is having difficulty walking. X-rays were normal. The splaying out of the legs is seen in a calcium and vitamin d deficiency which we are correcting. Both patients are doing well. The baby Sand hill is the cutest baby bird they almost look prehistoric.
