Common Merganser

Patient Updates

Every day new patients arrive at our facility. In an effort to tell their story of survival and highlight the diverse number of species that we rehabilitate, we highlight a new patient each week. Some of these are individuals, others are orphaned siblings. As their cases progress - we will update the outcome - our hope is that many, many of these patients are released!

This young merganser was found in the Snohomish River and had fishing line hanging from its mouth - signs of a fishing hook obviously lodged in its mouth.

Our vet, Dr. Lesanna Lahner, was able to surgically remove the hook and he is recovering now. Lucky Duck!

Status - transferred for waterproofing and continued care.
