January is Walk Your Pet Month!
You are the center of your dog’s universe and your dog craves your attention. What better way to spend quality time with your dog than taking a walk? Spending one-on-one time with your dog will deepen your bond. 🐾
Have you noticed these signs of pain in your kitty?
Cats are tough 💪 and like to hide signs of pain, but these subtle behavior changes can indicate that your senior kitty is suffering from arthritic pain 😿. We have a once monthly injection 💉 that can help give your cat some pain relief and is very safe to use in our senior cat friends 😸! If your cat is showing any of these signs, give us a call to schedule an appointment! For more information about the monthly pain injection, visit: https://www.zoetispetcare.com/products/solensia/why-solensia
Here is an update from Anthony and his travel adventures! He and his family are doing great! They are exploring new places, learning about native wildlife, and most importantly they are enjoying their time spent together.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Sophie, who has been part of our KBAH team for a few years. 💔 She brought many laughs, smiles, and dance moves to our hospital and our staff loved her dearly. 🌈💗
Sophie: we will miss your up-beat personality, your morning hello's, and our daily dance parties with you 💃
Today is national egg day so Groot had to participate in the #eggchallenge
We found this challenge online. You give your dog an uncooked egg and apparently they are so gentle with it! Groot lived up to the challenge!
If you try this with your own dog please share with us!

To all the people who deliberately bring pain and suffering to this world, ha ha we win. - The Squirrels
Many of you have asked for an update on the 4 young squirrels that were brought to us in September with their tails braided and knotted together. Here is one of them stopping by for a bite to eat and to say thank you to his rehabber. They were all released after spending time with the licensed rehabilitator who dedicated her knowledge, time, and love to them ❤️
We want to thank everyone who made it possible for these squirrels to live a life in the wild.
What a wonderful outcome! Thank you Audubon Sharon for sharing! Thank you to the dedicated officers of the Connecticut State Environmental Conservation Police for helping our local wildlife!

Let’s hear it again for ENCON!
We can’t say enough great things about our ENCON Officers.
In this clip, Officer DeFelice releases the absolutely gorgeous Red-tailed Hawk who he rescued several weeks prior. This poor bird was a gunshot victim and suffered a badly broken wing.
Ofc. DeFelice brought this beauty to our amazing Veterinarians (and technicians!) at Kensington Bird and Animal Hospital who took radiographs, removed the shot and pinned the fractured bone. Ofc. DeFelice then brought the bird up to Audubon Sharon where she was Rehabilitated and received post-op flight conditioning.
Not only was this female hawk large in size, her personality was fiery and larger than life!
Ofc. DeFelice did the honors of returning this special soul back to the wild where she belongs. Because of the amazing work of Ofc. DeFelice and KBAH, she flies free another day.
Once again, we feel all warm and fuzzy inside at all the hands coming together to save wildlife. Wildlife Rehabilitation is a team effort!
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. We are so grateful for such good friends who go above and beyond for wildlife! Thank you!
When your cat turns into a bird 🤣🤣🤣

Who doesn't love a pile of baby opossums 😍
Did you know:
Opossum benefit the ecosystem in many ways! They consume insects, small mammals, carrion, and ticks!
Due to their low body temperature and successful immune system it's very rare for one to carry rabies.
The Virginia Opossum is the only marsupial that inhabits the U.S. (they have a pouch)!
The Opossum is an amazing species and should be left to stay wild. If you see one please let them be!
A little over a week ago we had an injured Bald Eagle brought in to us after being found on RT 9 in Berlin. Dr. Erdman performed a physical exam, radiographs, and took a blood sample for lead testing. Final results concluded that she was hit by a car and had head trauma and a foot injury. The fantastic rehabbers at Horizon Wings Raptor Rehabilitation and Education took her in and worked their magic. After a follow up appointment with us and 10 days of rehab she was released yesterday. Some of the staff members joined in watching this beautiful bird be released into the wild. 🦅 See other post for pictures!
Sandy is practising her agility today 🤣🤣
