February 3rd

All patients were still alive early this morning; as well in the Sick-Bay as in the aviaries !! The Hedgehogs hadn’t left at al their nest-box and so their food was completely frozen. Outside it was –0 ° Centigrade !! Mindful of yesterday we have kept all birds inside today. We have found that most probably from the “good” leg of the Yellow-legged Gull tendons are cut and/or dried-up > is this really the case it will be “end of training”. The strange bulb on the left wing of the “red” Buzzard we could make free and we have emptied it > lots of blood-clogs and pieces of tissue appeared. We have started treating the leg of the other Buzzard (so the female) with Dermisol-cream > maybe the growth of new scales will be stimulated. The head-injury of the Dog-Fox is becoming cleaner and cleaner. Meanwhile “Emily” has eaten again. Joren has given her an enlarged bath: she was trying to wash herself before that bath, but with a dirty mouth from the difficult eating the mess on her legs only enlarged !! We received the message from rep Elvira in Mólivos that she’ll pass-by with a little puppy with eye-problems. As well “Moritz” will be taken-back today: they will take as well lots of surplus instruments from here to the shelter to be of use for a Dutch vet who is coming to neuter strays over there. And that happened at 12.12 p.m. Elvira was here at 12.45 p.m. > little puppy which she had rescued and is rearing now. Left eye indeed was “gone”. Cavasan-cream was given and showed how to use it. We’ll follow how this will develop in the future. Further not in the statistics.
