00:00Without the vet's help, she would surely not survive on her own.
00:04She's just been brought in after a vicious attack by another animal left her as the only survivor of her
00:09nest.
00:10No mama owl in sight.
00:13She was suffering from a large wound and a badly injured leg, which she could no longer grip with,
00:18making it impossible for her to hunt or perch.
00:24They immediately jumped into action, healing the wound and the trauma to her little body.
00:28But despite tons of laser and physical therapy, her foot showed no improvement.
00:34Again, leaving her helpless to surviving in the wild on her own.
00:39And since it is federally illegal to release an animal that can't fend for itself,
00:43the stakes were getting higher by the day.
00:46But staff veterinarian Dr. Schneider suggested one more idea that nobody had tried yet.
00:52Acupuncture.
00:54They called in Jessica Dreyfus, DVM, Medical Director at Healing Paws Center, to complete the acupuncture therapy.
01:01She spent a whole month doing acupuncture sessions with the little owl every other day.
01:06And the results left the entire veterinary team speechless.
01:10The little owl was finally using her leg and foot again.
01:13It was a miracle.
01:16After a few tests in the rehab sanctuary to ensure the little owl could hunt and fly normally again,
01:21she was finally ready to be released back into the wild.
01:23The end.
