Big Bear Eagle Jackie Receives Life-Saving Blood Transfusion Amid Critical Condition
Jackie, a well-known bald eagle from Big Bear Lake, remains in critical condition after being rescued due to severe anemia and kidney inflammation. The Ojai Raptor Center, where she is receiving treatment, administered a life-saving blood transfusion using blood from another eagle named Spirit. Despite some improvement in her kidney condition, the cause of her anemia remains unknown. Jackie, part of a famous eagle pair with Shadow, was found underweight and with disheveled feathers. Shadow is currently caring for their eaglets, Sandy and Luna, while Jackie is in intensive care.
