This
story is from volunteer Karen Inman.
One afternoon in June, 2004, I received a call about a raccoon
stuck in a dumpster and was unable to get out. The lady said it had
been there for a few days. So my husband, Randy and I loaded up our
gear and headed for the location. When we got there we could see that
she had a soda can stuck on her arm. After we got her loaded in a
carrier, we headed back to the facility to remove the can from her
arm. It was obvious that the can had been stuck on her arm for
sometime, and that the can had done a lot of damage to her arm.
Tiffany had to have surgery to repair the damage to her arm, Dr .Owens
of Moultrie Animal Hospital, was able to repair the arm and pull the
skin
together with stitches. Tiffany is seen here sedated, just before her
surgery to repair her arm.
As
the weeks went by, Tiffany began healing quite well. She spends her
time in an outdoor exercise cage now, until her release date, which is
set
for this fall. |
