Pete, a male trumpeter swan and mate to Eloise, had to be humanely euthanized after battling a lethal infection. The loss not only has the local community mourning, but is also a blow to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife/The Trumpeter Swan Society breeding restoration program.
Pete was recently discovered to be lame by an Aspen Lakes resident. He was taken to Broken Top Veterinary Clinic for examination and X-rays. Dr. Lodge found no evidence of a break or fracture, so it was hoped that he had a sprain. Pete was transferred to Think Wild in Bend for rehabilitation. When he didn’t respond to initial treatments, a further work up was done and those results revealed a bacterial infection.
