EATON RAPIDS, Mich. \u2014 An owl rescued in December was sadly euthanized.<\/p>\n
Winter, the great horned owl rescued in South Haven Township, was euthanized due to a foot injury that wasn’t healing, according to Wildside Rehabilitation and Education Center, who took her in for rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
Winter was found with a zip tie tightly wound on her ankle, which Wildside Rehabilitation and Education Center said cut off circulation to her foot for too long. <\/p>\n
Despite receiving twice-daily treatment, the foot became necrotic and died.<\/p>\n
Without her foot, Winter would not have been able to perform essential movements, including perching and tearing her food. <\/p>\n

Although the end result is not what the rescuers desired, they made sure Winter was loved with plenty of treats, warmth, and was pain-free until the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EATON RAPIDS, Mich. \u2014 An owl rescued in December was sadly euthanized.
