Patient Update: Bald Eagle 26-519 JACKIE 😭

It is with profound sadness that we share that Patient 26-519 passed away 😭😣 in the early hours of this morning, following more than three weeks of intensive medical care.

Over the past several days, her condition continued to deteriorate despite intensive treatment and the combined efforts of our veterinary team and consulting specialists. She remained critically ill, receiving oxygen therapy, supportive treatment, and around-the-clock monitoring in our intensive care unit.

Throughout her time at Ojai Raptor Center, every decision was guided by the available medical evidence, her welfare, and our responsibility to do what was in her best interest.

Her remains have been transferred into the care of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).

We know this news will be deeply felt by the many thousands of people around the world who have followed her journey, hoped alongside us, prayed for her, and supported the people caring for her.

Our team is heartbroken. It has been an extraordinary privilege to care for her.

We ask for patience and kindness as our staff process this loss. We are working closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and will provide a more comprehensive statement including additional information on her treatments and test results.

To protect our staff and community during this difficult time, comments on this post have been turned off.

To everyone who cared about Patient 26-519, thank you. Thank you for your messages, your prayers, your encouragement, and for standing beside our team throughout these past weeks. We are deeply grateful for the way Patient 26-519 brought people together through a shared love of wildlife.

Patient Update: Bald Eagle 26-519
Today's bloodwork brought some difficult news. Her packed cell volume (PCV) has dropped to 13%, which means her anemia has worsened since our last update.

Our veterinary team is responding quickly. Additional advanced diagnostic testing is now underway, and expedited laboratory testing has been requested as we continue working to better understand her condition and guide the next steps in her treatment.

At this stage, we do not have further answers to share, but we promise to keep you informed as soon as we have meaningful new information.

We know how deeply so many of you care about this eagle, and we are grateful for your continued encouragement and support. At this time, we kindly ask the public and members of the media to continue respecting the veterinary and rehabilitation teams involved in her care by allowing them the time and space they need to remain focused on patient care.

🦅❤️ One Step Forward... But Jackie's Fight Isn't Over.

Today's official update brings encouraging news—Jackie has been moved out of the Intensive Care Unit after requiring oxygen therapy. While this is an important milestone, her veterinary team reminds us that she remains a very sick patient and continues to need intensive treatment and close monitoring.

This update also explains why the Ojai Raptor Center now refers to her as Patient 26-519. As a licensed wildlife rehabilitation facility, they are legally required to identify rehabilitation patients by their intake number, common species, or scientific name in public communications.

Every small step forward is a victory, and every day Jackie continues fighting gives us more reason to hope. ❤️

🙏 Please continue keeping Jackie and the incredible veterinary team in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you to everyone who has shared love, encouragement, and support throughout her journey.
