CROW morning update
Update on E17 & E18 form the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam nest:At the morning feed/treatment, both eaglets were weighed and provided a second round of injectible antibiotics. Signs of infection, including discharge in the eyes, are still present, although the veterinarian did note the amount of discharge has lessened this morning. E17 weighed 335 grams and E18 weighed 255 grams.
Many have asked when we will get the results of the swabs we sent for further testing. Unfortunately, we do not have a timeline because it is dependent on the volume of testing being done by the lab. With the current pandemic, results may take longer than normal. We want to reiterate, however, that we do not need to have those results to return the babies to the nest. Through our cytology, we can narrow down the type of infection to ones we know are treated with the antibiotics we are providing. Once our veterinarians have cleared them of infection, they will be returned to the nest. We are doing everything in our power to ensure this happens as soon as possible.
