June 18/2022 This beautiful specimen of Spectacled owl (Pulsatrix perspicillata) was admitted with a fractured wing a week ago, and we coordinated its transfer to the Hospital for Minor Species and Wild Animals of the @una.ac.cr
There it is receiving the best medical care under Dr. Mauricio Jiménez and his Veterinary Medicine team.
Important advice if you rescue an injured bird:
❌ Do not provide any medicine.
✅ Always seek help from a professional. Sometimes the medicines that we think may work are not necessarily for wild animals.
Thanks to the good-hearted people who alerted us to the case and brought it to the Project.

UPDATE JUNE 20/2022

Dr. Jiménez, from the Hospital for Minor Species and Wild Fauna of the @una.ac.cr, informed us that it is improving.
Unfortunately, its wing will not be in good enough condition to fly again. We emphasize the importance of not applying medications to wildlife when rescuing them, and seek professional medical attention as soon as possible.
There are still more days to finish its treatment. We will keep you informed of the evolution of its health status.
Thanks to Dr. Mauricio Jiménez and his professional team for their dedicated attention in this case.
