Owl Receives Life-saving Acupuncture
Treatment
Vets expect Enola to be released back into the wild in a few
months' time.
A lucky owl had her life saved when vets used acupuncture to
treat injuries from a road accident.
Vets at the Hawk Centre in the US state of Arkansas were
considering putting the owl, named Enola after the town where it was truck by a
car, to sleep before a colleague suggested trying the alternative treatment.
The acupuncture seems to have paid dividends, according to
Lynne Slater, the executive director of the Hawk Center where Enola was
treated:
From her being unable to stand and her falling over on one
side now she can stand and perch on a branch and she can actually move her foot
some. She’s even self-feeding she wasn't even able to feed herself.
Vets expect Enola will be released back into the wild in a
few months' time.
