He probably hn’t eaten in a number of days. So I just want to make sure that he’s at his best weight and health, and n he goes". At centre, owl was given fluids and mice. caption says, “It h been three days since he ate or drank anything.  So far so good, his eyes are bright and seems relatively in good condition with all he’s been through.  Once he checks in with vet and gets a clean bill of health, he’ll be released to continue on his wild and wonderful journey”.
