Case 26-0917, arrived October 31:

A Cherokee County vet clinic received this adult female Red-tailed Hawk after she was likely struck by a car in Roswell. She has an abrasion to her cere (the base of her upper beak), her nostrils and mouth are swollen and inflamed, and blunt force trauma to her chest is causing her to cough blood from her lungs. We are treating with injected pain control and anti-inflammatory medications.

Case 26-0916, arrived October 30:

A Kennesaw resident found this juvenile female slider while he was out walking his dogs. When he realized her eyes weren't open, he collected her and brought her to CNC. She has good weight but is suffering from a minor respiratory infection. We are treating with antibiotics and expect a full recovery.

Case 26-0915, arrived October 28:

A Barred Owl was found perched on a fence at a Gwinnett County government building. The finder was able to approach the bird within a foot before he weakly jumped to a higher branch. When he came down a few hours later, employees from the Gwinnett Animal Shelter captured the owl and brought him to CNC. An exam revealed he was emaciated, dehydrated, and had sustained trauma to his right wing. His metacarpals were crushed and several of his phalanges (fingers) were no longer present. Sadly, humane euthanasia was necessary.

Case 26-0914, arrived October 28:

An immature male Red-shouldered Hawk was picked up by Dekalb County Animal Services after he was found unable to fly. An exam revealed that the left humerus was dislocated at the shoulder and his coracoid and clavicle were fractured. Because the bird would never have use of the wing, humane euthanasia was required.

Case 26-0912, arrived October 28:

A Lithonia resident found an adult male Barred Owl in the roadway and moved him off to the side. When he was still there an hour later, the finder collected him. An exam revealed the owl was quite thin, had numerous parasitic flies, a fractured left humerus and scapula, and numerous fractures in the right wing. Sadly, humane euthanasia was necessary.
We would like to thank the finder for his generous donation to our rehabilitation efforts.

Case 26-0911, arrived October 27:

This immature male Red-tailed Hawk was found on the side of a Dawson County road and taken to a Cherokee County vet clinic for triage. The bird arrived at the vet critically emaciated and infested with feather parasites. He has a large wound on the top of his left foot which is causing his toe to remain curled, as well as a wound on the base of his tail. We are continuing antibiotics and pain control medications and are having to hand-feed. We will splint the foot later this week if he is still unable to extend it.

Case 26-0910, arrived October 27:

An adult male Eastern box turtle was struck by a vehicle on a Canton roadway. The impact fractured the plastron, traumatically amputated the left rear leg, and badly fractured several bones in the right rear leg. Sadly, humane euthanasia was necessary.

Case 26-0906, arrived October 26:

An Atlanta resident captured an adult female Red-tailed Hawk who had been hit by a vehicle on the interstate in downtown Atlanta. An exam revealed severe trauma to the left wing. Sadly, despite treatment, she succumbed to her injuries the evening she arrived.

10/29/2026

Case 26-0905, arrived October 26:

This hatchling Eastern box turtle was found on a Peachtree Corners driveway. The young turtle arrived lethargic, dehydrated, and with trauma to its left rear leg, possibly from a bird. We provided a hydrating soak and are treating with pain control and antibiotic medications but its prognosis is guarded.
