Our rescue team was sent out to save this opossum that was seriously entangled in a backyard soccer net. With the owner’s permission, we cut the net to safely free the opossum and transport him to our hospital. Once at the hospital, our clinic staff carefully cut the remaining net from the opossum. Thankfully, this patient did not sustain any injuries. However, we can imagine he was very sore due to the tightness of the rope. The patient was given fluids and pain medications and is now resting.

Remember the Limpkin patient (25-6287) who was admitted with a broken leg and recently moved to an outdoor enclosure? After 58 days of supportive care and rehabilitation, the Limpkin was finally ready for release back to the wild! This is a particularly heart-warming success story mostly because of the severity of the Limpkin’s injuries upon admission, the procedures required for recovery, and this specific species’ sensitivity while under rehabilitative care. A huge thanks to our wonderful staf
