Our newest patient from Wild Florida Rescue. Hit by car on Friday with multiple fractures and post-trauma issues, but improving and working well with us. Such a magnificent creature! Send him/her good wishes as he/she potentially has many weeks of rehab. We are so happy he started eating today.

Just a little squirrel info. If you find babies after the storm please don’t kidnap them. If they are not hurt place then in a small container with a warm t-shirt Google baby squirrel cries on your phone. Play these a few times as loud as you can and move away from the babies. If Mom is still alive she will come and get her babies within a 15 minute time frame. Wildlife Momma’s are awesome and will look for their babies for days. Squirrels also make multiple nests so if something happens to one they have a readily available new one. Please we are happy to take in babies but only the ones that really need us. Momma is a much better option. Thank you

Interesting story

A just-published study on captive vs. wild big cats shows that confined cats have compromised bone density due to lack of physical activity.

Last Friday we got a call in from Wild Florida Rescue about a young pelican with fishing line badly wrapped from a hook that was swallowed and then wrapped around a wing. Because of Avian Influenza still in the area, there are not a lot of options for places that can/will help, so we want to do all we can. the fishing line had him cinched tight so his poor head was up against his wing and he could barely move. Dale received him and he was taken to surgery to remove the line. He did have some tissue damage to the wing that should heal quickly, but he did really well with surgery and was ready for his celebratory meal. So Saturday morning, he got his fill and he was taken back to the Port and released. Always good to have a happy ending. And hopefully this guy will be a little more careful with the fish he consumes to assure no fishing line or hooks still attached!

Great story.
