Today's update from CROW:
Today, Lil Guy received a second radiograph (x-ray) since the eaglets operation on Saturday, May 14.
His condition was upgraded to guarded based on blood work and clinical condition but protein levels are still dangerously low.
The fracture site and pin placement from the surgery look good and today he was able to stand and walk normally but still spends a majority of time down and sleeping.
The eaglet is responding to intensive care and is moving from a predominately liquid diet to a soft solids diet. ( Yes, Jesse I will save you from hearing todays menu LOL).
Body weight has increased but he still remains extremely thin. He was at 6.4 lbs on admission. He should be at 8.
Although Lil Guy still has a lengthy recovery, it was encouraging that the eaglet was willing to bear weight on its leg and use its foot and claw in a normal fashion which indicates normal nerve function.
