SWVAWC heroes

SWVAWC heroes are Dr. Diane D’Orazio, out staff veterinarian and Judy Loope, volunteer extraordinaire. They set up ICU in a vehicle and are rushing a very sick eagle from Blacksburg to the Wildlife Center of VA. The vet is sitting in the seat beside the eagle monitoring while Judy drives down I 81. Let’s hope this eagle survives.

Update. The Eagle is standing today with improved respiration. She has a very large fish hook in her stomach. Surgery is scheduled for next week after she regains strength. The juvenile eagle possibly ingested a toxic meal too!
