West Winnipeg - 2018 / A Death in the Family - Beatrix (2011-2018)
carly:
Thank you for the Beatrix update TPC. Happy to hear she is hanging in there. I'm sure she'll be as happy as us when she is finally able to fly the skies again.
The Peregrine Chick:
Recovery from Bumblefoot is notoriously long and it is no different for Beatrix. She has had a whole whack of surgeries to clear out infection and at the moment that seems to perhaps done the trick. Now we have to get the wounds to heal - which sounds easy but as anyone who has had wounds (not just cuts and scrapes), the skin needs to heal across the wound not just heal and that takes time. At the moment she is doing well and PWRC is working on getting the wounds to close up. Once that happens, we are ready for flight rehab and then we can start to see the end at the end of her tunnel.
We will be buying more quail for before the end of the year, so if folks want to collect pennies or loonies in a jar I'll be putting out a request for donations end of the month/into November. We are trying a new thank you gift for donors this year - but more on that this weekend - something to look forward to ;) ;D
Alison:
It has been some time since there has been an update on Beatrix on the forum. I also check the Prairie Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre site regularly for updates, but have found none. Beatrix has been in care for such a long time; as time goes by, it seems progressively less likely that she will be released. I hope that is not the case.
I would appreciate any news on how Beatrix is coming along.
The Peregrine Chick:
June 2017 Update
She's still coming along - bumblefoot can be a tough nut to crack at times. PWRC is looking at some supplemental therapies to help with the healing but so far, so good. She's being a peregrine which is good. Not out of tricks in our bag yet and she's miffed but not in any risk of anything at the moment ... other than getting bored :)
They have food for the moment and we just paid a couple of months work of medications, vet care and surgery. For those wanting to support her care, you can hang onto your donation until we call for donations OR just include a note on your donation - there is space on all the donation pages online to include a note if you wish. Or you can mail it in (don't forget to include a copy of the donation form).
I have to update some information on the page, but Beatrix has her own page on our website if you want to check it out - the links to donate are at the bottom of the page.
bev.:
well I am willing to help out in that department
