Swan Rescue – Updated 24 October 2010

ByJon

This young swan came from Sleaford, she is very weak and easily caught which is unusual for a swan. We have put her on antibiotics and are having to tube feed her twice a day.

There are a number of conditions that she could be suffering with, from infection to a blocked digestive tract, so watch this space as we do everything we can to assess her and save her life.

UPDATE – Unfortunately we have lost the fight, despite our best efforts and our vets, this beautiful juvenile Swan passed away on Saturday afternoon, she now rests peacefully.
