Opossum release!

img_2558.jpg

Another happy release story! I released an adult male Virginia opossum last week who came to us from Shoreview. He was very weak, thin, and dehydrated upon admission. With a few weeks of TLC and supportive care, which included subcutaneous fluids, he regained his strength, as well as some body weight, and was ready to go in no time! It is always so rewarding to release them back into their natural habitat and see them thrive. In this case, the ‘possum found a tree branch right away and began climbing, looking back at us almost as if to say “thanks!” You’re welcome, and good luck!!
