The owl was brought into the WCVM's Veterinary Medical Centre (VMC) on Jan. 21 after becoming trapped under building material—"the wrong place at the wrong time," said Dr. Miranda Sadar, a veterinarian who treated the patient. Clinicians provided physical evaluation and treatment of the owl's injured beak, until they deemed it capable to continue hunting and feeding on its own.
