Lorenzo the skunk is enjoying todays cooler weather! Lorenzo has had a long road to recovery. He was originally spotted on May 9th, limping and starving. Lorenzo was emaciated, with infected wounds on his shoulder (which about a shot glass worth of pus came out of) and an injured back leg, he was covered in an extreme amount of mites and ticks, and he was overall dehydrated and weak. With time and medical care, his wounds have healed, he’s parasite free, and his body condition is much better. He’s currently in an outdoor enclosure so we can evaluate his walk and burrowing abilities before his upcoming soft release. Lorenzo’s back leg injury was old and while his limp has decreased, it’s still present. He’s still able to speedily run away from volunteers and he’s able to move it in an adequate motion so he’s still releasable. Still, we’ll provide a hide and food at the spot he’s released at until he no longer needs it, and will be keeping a close eye on him after he’s back in the wild. That won’t be for a bit yet, as we want to see him strengthen his muscles further. Want to support Lorenzo and all of the other animals in care?
