00:00Yeah.
00:20OK.
00:25Thanks.
00:28Alright.
00:31Very exciting release.
00:34Alright.
00:37Yeah.
00:39This is dangerous.
00:41You know.
00:42This isn't the best place to.
00:45OK.
00:47I just have to walk through this.
00:48I'm already wet.
00:50Yeah.
00:54I can help get you out of your way.
00:56I have to be careful.
01:02Got a little wet.
01:12Actually, I gotta do this.
01:18Okay.
01:48Okay.
02:18Okay.
02:30You're really cold.
02:34It's not bruised.
02:36There's an open cut.
02:38Oh, jeez.
02:40But I'm really worried about this foot.
02:44All right.
02:46I rescued this eagle
02:48just north of Honor, Michigan.
02:50This is a female
02:52and you can tell
02:54mainly because of the brood patch
02:56she has right here.
02:58So she's
03:00either incubating
03:02eggs or
03:04newly hatched
03:06chicks, which is
03:08very unfortunate because
03:10this bird was caught
03:12in a lakehole trap.
03:14So this foot here
03:16is very discolored
03:18and unresponsive
03:20to any kind of
03:22movement.
03:24There's nothing,
03:26no pain reflex there.
03:28The other one can grip, but it's extremely swollen
03:30and has quite the wound
03:32here
03:34where she was caught
03:36in a trap.
03:38So we are going to start her on
03:40antibiotics and
03:42we will get her in for
03:44x-rays of those feet
03:46to see if there's any fractures.
03:48I'm worried that this
03:50foot in particular was without
03:52circulation and so
03:54it's extremely swollen and discolored.
03:56This bird
03:58will be a great candidate
04:00for the MagnaWave
04:02treatments, so we will
04:04start her on that as soon as
04:06we get her tucked in
04:08to intensive
04:10care crate.
04:12Very sad.
04:16Alright, I'm going to just tuck you in
04:20and get you some nice
04:22fish.
04:28So this is a really padded crate
04:30with quite a bit of padding
04:32on the bottom with two towels
04:34on top, so it will be easy on her
04:36for those feet.
04:40Alright.
04:50Very reluctant to stand on that foot.
04:58We are
05:00MagnaWaving
05:02this adult
05:04bald eagle that was
05:06admitted yesterday morning
05:08from just north of
05:10Honor, Michigan
05:12and she was caught
05:14in a lakehole trap
05:16and had to have been released from the trap
05:18and then
05:20was found and rescued.
05:22So
05:24she has quite a bit of
05:26severe damage to both feet
05:28and so
05:30this MagnaWave treatment
05:32will improve
05:34the circulation to those feet.
05:36It's a very
05:38passive
05:40mode of therapy
05:42because
05:44she doesn't
05:46know she's getting MagnaWaved.
05:50Here's the unit right here
05:52and I've
05:54got
05:56a large pad
05:58under here
06:00which is delivering
06:02the pulsating electromagnetic
06:04waves.
06:06So it's really calm
06:12and she's doing good.
06:16Here's some food
06:18after this
06:20and she's also on Batrol, an antibiotic.
06:34She's eating
06:36some of her fish.
06:54This eagle's
06:56eating some of your fish.
06:58264 grams.
07:00Yum yum.
