Story via Volunteer Mary Koher:
We received a call to our rescue line from Animal Care and Control. They picked up an owl at the side of the road in northern Allen County. I arrived at their facility to find a barred owl resting quietly in a cage. I placed him in a rescue box, gathered some additional information from them and headed off to deliver the owl to Dr Funnell at the Pine Valley Veterinarian Clinic. When I got there she was in surgery with another owl so I did a quick examination that showed some blood on the cere and both feet had abrasions. The keel score was 2.5 to 3 and the wings appeared to be ok. The owl was alert but quiet. Since it was found on the side of the road, we are assuming a possible car strike. Dr Funnell will do a full assessment once she is out of surgery.
