I guess I need to re-read that I though this was for release. I don't see any reason to tag at all in rehab the cattle marker idea is much better and doesn't...

I took in a female BBB this week and she appears perfectly fine (eating like a pig, hydrated, bright eyed etc.) but she doesn't seem to be able to fly. There...

Hello all, Just wanted to let you know I found a few port-a-bats, the old fashioned tent style, at http://www.jjcardinal.com/kids.htm. The employees are...
Birds will get a corocoid fracture that will not allow them to fly, and I always (though probably not accurately, but help me out) figured that was a bone...
Krista, I am a little concerned that you plan on x-raying every bat that you receive. Or did I misinterpret what you said? Ken Ken O. Bowman Founder &...
I have free-tails that do not fly and I cannot detect any injuries. I also have a little California myotis who can flutter about and even fly for a while, but...
Bats and Not Flying: I have had bats that will not fly but flutter to the ground and there were no apparent problems. After working with them and their...
I have been wondering about this situation-what do you guys think? What if you do a bat exclusion in the fall as recommended and no other bats are seen ...

If the exclusion is done prior to the bats hibernating, there should be no problem if the exclusion device is left up for 10-14 days then the hole sealed.....

Hi Ken. Yes, I do plan to x-ray each bat I get in. As it turns out, I kept 3 bats in captivity (reptariums) last winter, when they were incapable of flight...

It could be one of many things. Perhaps just a soft-tissue injury. Or it could be a clavicle fracture (bats donıt have the same coracoid structure as ...

Hi, that was my thought as well. Birds normally heal in 2-3 weeks and some can then regain flight and others never really get any lift and so cannot be...
It also depends on the species and where you are in the country. Big Browns have been known to overwinter in houses, but the myotis species need cold caves and...
I think it would be immensely helpful to have a reference file of x-rays, both normal and any injuries. It is hard for vets to read small x-rays so being able...
I've gotten in bats like this too. If they are hanging, grooming, and eating, just give them time. I house them in porta bugs for a at least a few days to see...
Krista, If you are x-raying every bat no matter what, I just do not understand. Being a nurse, I would never consider drawing blood and x-raying every person...
