Martin the owl has been with me for nine days now. He is still not feeding himself, so I have been hand-feeding him every evening. I have also put some anti-biotic in his drinking water and am giving him some with a syringe each day.
Most days he has swallowed the food when I put it in his mouth. But yesterday at feeding time he was not looking too good and just kept spitting it out. He also seemed quite weak. He may have picked up an infection from his wounds. I can not tell whether he is going to make it or not, but things do not look too good right now.
This morning I tried again and he managed to swallow some food, in small quantities at a time, and I gave him lots of water. But he looked tired and weak.
