@tanklucca: Update on Bald Eagle patient 26-519 from Big Bear Lake Patient 26-519’s condition remains stable but critical as she remains in intensive care and receives round-the-clock supportive treatment. Our veterinary team is working to determine the underlying cause of her illness. She is currently receiving several prophylactic treatments to help support her body. After showing encouraging improvement following her blood transfusion, she experienced a setback on Saturday when her blood values declined again. Since then, she has improved once more. She is eating on her own, her energy and alertness have noticeably improved, and she has become much more feisty during feedings. One of the most encouraging changes we’ve seen is her packed cell volume (PCV), which measures the percentage of red blood cells in her bloodstream. Her PCV has increased from 8% before the weekend to 16% today (7/27). While this remains below normal, it is an encouraging improvement, and we will continue to monitor her bloodwork daily as we keep a close eye on her progress. Despite extensive diagnostic testing and consultation with experienced wildlife veterinarians, we still do not have a definitive diagnosis. Cases like this can be incredibly complex, and we will continue adjusting her treatment as new information becomes available. Thank you for the thousands of messages of encouragement and continued support. Because minimizing stress is an important part of the recovery process, we kindly ask that you give our veterinary and rehabilitation teams the time and space they need to focus on patient care. Please refrain from calling, texting, emailing, or visiting our facility for updates. We promise to continue sharing meaningful updates through our official social media channels as soon as new information becomes available. Thank you for following her story and supporting the work that makes this level of care possible. Every message of encouragement, share, and donation is appreciated.#jackieandshadow
