Vet Gives Bald Eagle CPR
Video: Bald eagle saved by Oregon vet's mouth-to-beak CPR The eagle had suffered, among other injuries, a dislocated shoulder and paralyzed right leg Associated Press BEND, Ore. — A Bend, Ore., veterinarian has performed life-saving CPR on an injured bald eagle that was under anesthesia during physical therapy. KTVZ-TV reports Jeff Cooney performed the therapy, during which the bald eagle nicknamed "Patriot" stopped breathing. Cooney's "mouth to beak" resuscitation got the eagle breathing again. The injured eagle was found by two La Pine women near Crane Prairie Reservoir in June. The eagle had suffered, among other injuries, a dislocated shoulder and paralyzed right leg. Cooney says it's uncertain whether he will be able to return the bird to the wild. If the bird's foot doesn't improve in the next three weeks, Cooney says he could be forced to euthanize him. |

Re: Vet Gives Bald Eagle CPR
yeah...hope it works out for the little guy. I thought that was pretty neat watching the chest rise when he was giving rescue breaths.

Re: Vet Gives Bald Eagle CPR
Sorry Sharon, but my Alaska attitude is about to come out.......... I fricking HATE bald eagles. They're nasty-ass garbage trucks with wings. They hang out in the tree and shit all over my car when I'm at work. The local ones here at the house sit on my car and hunt my dogs. 'Oh but Kim, they're so majestic!' No. They stink and they're stupid.  Rant over. |
Shame the eagles prognosis isn't great :(
