A VERY Eventful Day

Twenty-eight years ago today I was born!!!  Yea!!!  Now on to the important stuff...
This day has been a very busy day with tons of interesting things happening.  NONE of which I'm happy about.  Don't get me wrong...I'm happy to take the animals in, care for them, and make them all better.  I just hate it when they are hurt or sick.  It makes me really hurt to see them hurt or sick.  Especially when they die.
This past week, one of my babies became gravely ill.  After battling whatever it was for 3 days, she passed away.  Here are some pics I snapped of her the night before she passed.  What a sweet little angel?!

Here are some pictures of her litter mates.  

This is my favorite!

Got in a bunny today that a lady ran over with her lawn mower.  Obviously the little guy isn't doing well.  It really stinks when there's nothing you can do, but make them comfortable.  :-(

The turtle with the damaged shell is doing very well though.  His shell is beginning to heal, but it will take a very long time for it to be completely healed.  

Also got in some baby possums that aren't doing so well.  They have been eating each others tails!!!  YIKES that has to hurt.  We have started a more rounded diet and are continuing the medication that the Good Samaritan provided!!!   They did the right thing by contacting a licensed rehabber.  Please if you find injured or orphaned wildlife, contact a Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator.  Wildlife requires specialized care and are NOT like caring for domestic animals.
