This little opossum was taken into edit an er vet for help after she was attacked by a dog, but she was rejected at the door 😮 and referred to me. Of course I willingly accepted her and did treatment at home for two days cleaning and dressing her wound while we waited for our vet appointment with my veterinarian who is the best ever! Dr Butler quickly took her into surgery and fixed her up so now she's got a quicker smoother road to recovery and I expect a full recovery!
Of course I'm left holding a vet bill but we'll deal with it one way or another....If you'd like to donate we are at 501c3 non-profit,

Every year we get in orphaned rabbits that people think absolutely "love them" because it is "happily sitting in their hand and letting them pet them"
A rabbit's reaction to being terrified is to sit perfectly still in hope that the predator goes away. During this time, their adrenaline is surging through their body and many times if the adrenaline is going on for too long, Well...once the stimulation and fear goes away, their heart fails and they die. So please do not handle rabbits that are wild. They are hardwired to fear humans, as we are considered a predator. What you might think is acceptance of your affection is actually them being terrified often to the point of death. Usually, it is the rehabber that has to deal with the death part. Since it is in our care that they finally have enough time to relax and let the adrenaline subside.

One of the things rehabbers hear often is "I don't know how you do it! I wouldn't be able to let them go."

The public (you amazing humans) only see a snippet of what we endure as rehabbers. There is blood, sweat, tears, ugly sobbing, laughing while sobbing, stomach churning events, we see things we can't un-see and we feel things we can't un-feel.

We get animals that are injured, sick, orphaned, broken, wounded, abused, scarred, fighting for their lives, clinging to life, losing their lives. We work with blood, urine, f***s, vomit, eye infections, abscesses, lacerations, and other gore.

But in the midst of it all, something beautiful happens.

The dependent orphans learn to eat on their own. The broken leg heals and allows for bearing weight. The eye infection clears up and vision is restored. The wound scabs over. The wing heals. The pain fades.

Then one day, the very animals that we poured our heart, soul, time, money, and energy into are loaded up. The kennels are opened...in that moment, everything we've worked for, everything YOU have supported, comes to fruition.

The bird walks then flies off. The skunk feels fresh grass under his paws and waddles away. The owl spreads his beautiful wings and takes flight. The mama opossum cautiously takes that first step into her second chance. The raccoon climbs the tallest tree.

And...

We walk away. We let go.

Yes, we cry. We worry.

None of it matters because they were never ours to begin with.

A few pics of the babies after the Storm thank you for those who have had faith in me I'm doing my best it's been crazy. I feel like I'm feeding 24/7 here but we keep plugging along. Sadly I've lost a lot due to injuries some of them have been very sad thankfully some like this little guy in the first picture or just enjoying the heck out of their formula. 🥰🐿️

Our rescue center will maintain its regular schedule today, despite the looming threat of Hurricane Milton, which is expected to pass through tonight. While we remain open for intakes, kindly bring them to me directly, as my inability to secure gas beforehand and the anticipated surge in intakes and delicate neonates will preclude me from traveling.
580 John Street Lake Helen... Text or call ahead at 386-562-5226 please.
And to top things off we woke up to a negative bank account today so if you can help please do...

Splish splash some babies taking a bath

Thanks for being a top engager and making it on to my weekly engagement list! 🎉 Ellen Sherman, Judith Simmons

In some cases, baby raccoons require additional attention, such as subcutaneous fluids for added hydration. As a wildlife rehabber, i possess the necessary skills to administer such treatment, as demonstrated with baby Gomez today.
