Plain-English summary
Taking care of sick or injured birds of prey, like falcons or hawks, often involves a lot of tests and treatments to help them get better. These birds can come from different backgrounds, such as being pets, used for education, or found in the wild, and each may have specific health issues that need attention. The goal is to stabilize their condition and support their recovery. It's important for veterinarians to carefully assess and treat these birds to help them heal completely.
Abstract
Emergency care of raptors often requires extensive diagnostics and therapeutic regimens to stabilize and support the ill or injured raptor. Whether falconry birds, educational birds, or raptors from the wild are presented, various medical conditions must be addressed to help guide the practitioner toward a complete recovery for the raptor.
