Millions are mourning the death of Jackie, a beloved bald eagle. Jackie was found grounded and suffering from severe anemia, low blood protein, and other critical issues on July 18 in Big Bear Valley. She was transported to the Ojai Raptor Center for intensive care.
Veterinary specialists attempted an emergency blood transfusion, which initially stabilized Jackie's anemia. However, her condition declined again by August 3. Advanced diagnostics revealed a significant blood clot in her wing and near a kidney, alongside other health complications.
Despite extensive diagnostic testing and the assistance of veterinarians nationwide, Jackie's prognosis became increasingly poor. She ultimately succumbed to her illness in the early hours of August 10, concluding her courageous battle for survival.
