The American bittern that my wife and I took to the Wildlife Rehab Center last Saturday didn't make it. It had a compound fracture to the right humerus (wing bone) and the ends of the exposed bone tissue were necrotic (dead). The severity of the injury and its necrosis led the vet to decide that the fracture would never heal to allow for no pain and the ability to fly. The bittern was humanely euthanized to end its suffering. I guess that's something...its pain is over.
