Often, a radiograph reveals more than just fractures. Dr. White is able to determine whether or not the owl was shot, and how its condition is affecting viral organs.
Veterinary Care
Many of the hawks and owls that we receive need veterinary care. We work with veterinarians in various parts of Michigan, but rely on Dr. White, in Midland for surgery, as well as most medical treatment. Dr. White received special training from Tuft’s University in raptor medicine and has almost thirty years of experience in treating injured raptors. Dr. White is able to set fractures, saving many raptors with broken bones that would otherwise be euthanized. Dr. White also evaluates his patients for the various conditions that may bring them into our care, and prescribes medications and therapy.
