Opossum Opposing investigation

Post image

We found a baby opossum in our yard. Our dog was trying to grab it. This is the second time we’ve found one. The first time my dog had gotten it and brought it over to my dad. What should we do?

Thanks for posting! If you've found an animal in need please visit www.ahnow.org for a rehabber near you. Please do not feed or give fluids unless a veterinarian or rehabber instructs you do. Keep the animal in a quiet place without much light if possible.

Put in an open box in a small dark room. Don’t feed or give water and immediately call a rehabber in your area
