RIP Woodie.

A woodie was brought into the vets where I work today. This poor guy had horrible injuries, not all visible. Im still unsure whether he'd been hit by a car or if someone had been terrible and injured him. He wasnt a youngster, possibly a couple of year old. He'd was missing pretty much all this primary wing feathers and had no feeling in one foot. He'd been lying in someones garden for some time when he was brought in. I think he'd been partially paralysed because although he could move both wings(of which one was broken) he couldn't move his lower body. There were no puncture wounds, nothing like a cat/fox/dog wound. He also had some feathers missing from his back.

I would have taken him home in the hope that the wing would heal and over time he would perhaps regain some feeling in his toes.


Sadly he passed away by himself.

R.I.P

Charlotte, this is very sad - At least his suffering had an end and he could die in peace and dignity. This is what often is missing. Dying animals are shoveled away into a bin or lying on the street in the ditch. This is the most terrible way to die and no animal nor human deserves this.

I am so very , Charoltte.
Bless his heart.

"May you now fly free as you cross over the Rainbow Bridge, sweet little Woodie"

Poor baby, at least someone picked him up.

I agree with you about giving him a chance to recover, I have a feral that had been hit by a car, then picked up by someone and put out of harms way. he had terrible injuries and it was a long time before he could feed himself or move, but he made a wonderful recovery, his only disability is his inability to fly because there was a piece of dead bone poking out which the vet had to trim.

Poor little thing.

I agree, after seeing and hearing about what pigeons get through on here I know they deserve a little more time to recover.

Poor little guy, I glad he was brought in so we could keep him warm.

Poor little soul. At least (s)he passed on knowing that someone in this world cared. :(

Oh no... :( But I am in agreeance with everyone else... He passed in hands that gave him a loving chance. Bless you for that.

Rest in Peace lil' baby, and Fly with the love that was passed to you through hands of an angel!
