NX has not been taken out yet for treatments this morning; the veterinary team has her scheduled for another set of radiographs today. They'd like to ensure that her positioning for the radiographs will give them the best view of what is going on with her injured shoulder. Because NX will be anesthetized, she was fasted last night.

In addition to the radiographs, Dr. Adam and team will clean NX’s wounds and will give her anti-inflammatories and antibiotics.'

December 5 update
Change of plans:  initially, NX was scheduled for radiographs today to see if a different set of x-rays would reveal the same subtle shoulder fracture that Dr. Dave noted on December 3.  After removing NX from her small indoor enclosure for morning treatments, the veterinary team decided to wait until later in the week to perform the radiographs.  Since her shoulder is still slightly swollen, Dr. Dave anticipates that a few more days of healing will really enable the team to make a better assessment of the injury.

NX was bright, alert, and feisty when the team cleaned her wounds and administered her medications during morning treatments.

Eagles at Norfolk Botanical Garden
‎'For the first time this season, the NBG adult eagles have both spent the night in the nest tree sitting on the back branch together. Here they are sound asleep side-by-side with the Christmas lights in the background 9:22 to 9:26

  Still miss mom but glad dad found love again!

A new update on NX; it sounds encouraging.

December 6 update

Dr. Miranda reports that NX is doing well — the subcutaneous emphysema over her chest seems to be getting much better.  NX did eat last night and kept her meal down.  Since NX is eating well, the veterinary team will be putting her p.m. medications in her food to avoid having to grab her up twice a day.

December 7 update

Dr. Dave reports that NX continues to remain bright and alert.  She did eat last night, though not all of her food — the untouched food contained her evening medications.  Dr. Dave and team will be catching NX up tonight to ensure she receives her medications.  The vet staff will also get a current weight on her, using an XXL “raptor wrapperâ€� that someone recently made for the Center!
