Surgery today

Surgery was performed early morning on Patoka’s bald eagle. Two toes were amputated from the left foot to stop the infection from spreading. At that time, this bird’s status was critical. For the next 9 days, bird is in a recovery area with water & food offered daily, as well as much care and attention from Dr. Sam Vaughn and his staff. On the 5th day, eagle is perching on a 2X4 perch at the vets.
