He’s home (Patreon)

Yesterday I picked up our new resident from the Florida Wild Mammal Association. I don’t know much about this guy except for what I’ve already relayed to all of you in previous posts. The only new information I have is that he has a staff infection on his ears and tail. One of his ears is nearly gone and a lot of his tail looks necrotic, but we’re on antibiotics for that and hopefully it will clear up in a few weeks.

I was worried when bringing him home because when I arrived at FWMA to pick him up one of the volunteers let me know that they had accidentally dropped him earlier in the day. She didn’t seem too worried, but told me to look out for anything unusual. Since this is already an unusual opossum that I have little to no background on it was hard to tell if something was off or if this is just how he is.

It’s about 12:30pm now, so he’s been here nearly 24 hours and is doing really well.

As I’m posting this I just introduced the dogs to him and I honestly cannot wait to show you Howie’s precious reaction to him. I could cry it was so cute.

Anyway, welcome home buddy
