@buschwildlifesanctuary: Patient #100 admitted to our wildlife rehabilitation center was an American Kestrel found in Jupiter with a suspected broken wing. Our initial exam found the kestrel was thin and its right wing was drooping, and X-rays confirmed there was a mid-shaft fracture in the right ulna that had already begun to stabilize & close on its own. Thankfully, a surgical repair wasn’t needed, and staff was hopeful the break would continue to heal properly with a little assistance. Staff admitted the bird, wrapped its wing, and performed laser & physical therapy every other day to help the kestrel regain more range of motion, decrease inflammation, and speed up its overall recovery time. After 16 days at our rehabilitation center, the kestrel’s flight had improved significantly, and it was released back to its natural habitat🪽 You can help BWS continue providing this vital medical care for our native wildlife with a donation today! 💚 #wildlife #jupiter #palmbeach #florida #wildlifeconservation #wildlifesanctuary #wildliferescue #birdtok
