Freedom Friday! This Western Grebe came to us from Pismo Beach oiled and emaciated. There were chemical burns on his legs from the corrosive effects of the oil. His burns were treated and once he was stable enough, he was washed. The recovery process from being oiled is a long one involving warm water pools, repeated periods under a dryer and constant monitoring of weight and blood to insure the bird is progressing. The final step is time spent in one of our outdoor pools to ensure the bird’s waterproofing has been fully restored. This bird has been through a lot but is now back where he belongs and we wish him well and hope we never have him as a guest again.

This Striped Skunk came into the clinic weak and emaciated. She is gaining weight and slowly getting her strength back. She is now in an outdoor enclosure where she can climb and forage to prepare her for release back to her home. The black and white coloration of a skunk is a warning to predators to leave them alone. Skunks would rather not waste their special scented spray so, when threatened, a skunk’s first line of defense is to warn predators by stamping its feet, shaking its tail, and growling. As a last resort, they will spray their famous skunk odor which sends most predators running. If you see a skunk in the wild, please give them some space!

I still have tons of blankets. Sheets and towels. Where should I take them?

Why do you think she was in that condition? Was she trapped somewhere?

I love skunks!! They are so important.

They are so adorable! Hurray for the rescuers that take in the skunks!

This young opossum came into the clinic after being caught by someone’s cat. He has wounds on his skull, neck and shoulders. He is too sick right now for surgery, so in the meantime, our veterinarian put in a drain and bandaged his wounds. Unfortunately, cat caught injuries in wildlife are all too common. We love our kitty friends but it is safer for them and wildlife if they are kept indoors. If that’s not possible, then building a nice outdoor catio space can be the next best option. Keeping your cats indoors keeps them safe from being hit by cars, getting lost, fighting with other animals, and catching feline diseases. Help save wildlife and keep your cat safe too... win-win!
