Plan: seems to be starting to eat live mice. Handle as little as possible. Will need to forgo the eye drops for now. Watch food intake carefully. Grab EOD for fluids/FF as needed.

2019-03-19 09:50 me

Live mouse hidden under paper. I retrieved it and set it free on the paper and the owl became very interested. Jumped but missed and the mouse crawled between bars and wire in back wall; retrieved mouse again and placed on perch. As soon as it touched the owls foot it was all over!

2019-03-19 08:20 me

Standing in corner of kennell, lots of mutes.

Noticed feathers around AS were stuck together with dried blood. Was able to get feathers apart but still some dried blood in feathers. Dried blood in AS as well but not clogged. Once unstuck, seemed to help squinting problem and was able to open OS easier.

Quiet throughout Treatment, didn't want to swollow water for meds. BNOW let water run out of mouth.
