Massachusetts wildlife rescuers nurse orphaned raccoon during his critical days

“UPDATE:

Our orphaned raccoon, that was rescued by Jenny when he fell from a tree, is feeling better. He is still lethargic but he does enjoy his bottles. His temporary home is an incubator which keeps him warm and cozy. He is fully hydrated and slowly gaining weight.

He is having trouble walking but we believe it is due to his fall and his emaciation. The body is very efficient. After it has used all of its fat resources, it will absorb muscle for vital energy needed to survive. This may have happened to him.

Either way, his recovery is slow but definitely steady. We are hopeful he will have a full recovery!”-Newhouse Wildlife Rescue.
