⚠️ Viewer Discretion Advised: Graphic medical images ahead.

We recently received an adult raccoon from Fritch, Texas, after he was hit by a vehicle. Unfortunately, he sustained a significant injury to his mouth, losing several teeth and suffering a large laceration along the roof of his mouth.

Dr. Cabello was able to stabilize him and carefully suture the injury inside his mouth—which is definitely not the easiest area to repair!

We are happy to report that this tough guy is making great progress and has finally started eating on his own! ❤️ He is currently receiving antibiotics and a soft diet while his mouth continues to heal.

His prognosis is good, and if everything continues moving in the right direction, our goal will be to get him healed and back where he belongs—in the wild.

Raccoons are incredibly adaptable and are opportunistic omnivores and scavengers, meaning they eat a very wide variety of foods. Losing a few teeth typically won’t prevent him from finding and eating enough food once he is fully healed. Before release, we will make sure his mouth has healed properly and that he is able to eat normally on his own.

Our little porcupette “Stabitha” is continuing to grow and is officially up to 4 pounds!

It has been a slow process with this little girl, but she continues to move in the right direction. She’s eating solids like a champ… or maybe we should say like a princess.

We put her fresh veggies in the food processor and blend them to a nice coleslaw-like texture—apparently Her Majesty prefers her meals prepared just right!

In this picture, she’s enjoying one of her absolute favorites—fresh mulberry leaves! 🌿 Mulberry leaves and apple sticks are definitely at the top of Stabitha’s favorite-treat list.

Meanwhile, the three other porcupines in our care reached closer to 8 pounds and have officially been RELEASED back into the wild! We’ll be sharing their release video soon, so stay tuned!

Lake Tanglewood Friends — Please Keep an Eye Out for Wildlife

If you live in or around Lake Tanglewood, please keep an eye out for injured or displaced squirrels and birds following the large hail.

We are still receiving baby doves and baby squirrels, and juvenile Mississippi Kites and Swainson’s Hawks have not yet left for their migration to South America. Severe hail can cause significant injuries to wildlife, especially young animals and birds caught out in the storm.

If you come across wildlife that appears injured or in distress, please reach out to Wild West Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Call/Text 806-680-2483

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone—people and animals—affected by this storm.

🦨 Several of our striped skunks are heading back to the wild where they belong!

We’ve raised these little stinkers since they were tiny—feeding them, caring for them, watching them grow, and preparing them for this very moment. Seeing them healthy, strong, independent, and ready to take on life in the wild is the absolute best part of what we do.

Wildlife rehabilitation isn’t about keeping wildlife. The goal is always release. Every early morning, late night, feeding, enclosure cleaning, and moment of worry is worth it when that carrier door opens and they get their second chance at being wild.

Run wild, little stinkers!

Gray Fox Update!

We have a wonderful update on the female gray fox who was hit by a car on N. Coulter Street on August 20.

When she arrived, she had suffered a fractured right femur and needed intensive care before she was stable enough for surgery. Today, we’re happy to share that she has officially graduated from ICU and moved into our hospital ward!

Her repaired leg will remain pinned for approximately six weeks, and then the pin will be removed. In the meantime, she is eating great, very feisty, and continuing to heal! And when it comes to wildlife, feisty is exactly what we like to see.

Seeing her now compared to that morning when she was lying injured in the middle of the road is a perfect example of why we do the work we do.

A special shoutout to the sweet ladies who stayed with her, kept a close eye on her, and helped protect her from oncoming traffic until our team arrived.

If you would like to donate toward her care, here is the link. Donations keep our doors open.

We are SUPER proud of Rita, 4th year veterinary students from Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine!

We had a juvenile skunk with a severely pr*****ed re**um, meaning part of the re**al tissue had pushed outside of the body. Rita did a fantastic job carefully getting the tissue back where it belonged and placing a temporary suture to help keep it in place while he healed.

Re**al prolapse in wildlife can happen for several reasons, including severe diarrhea, constipation or straining, intestinal parasites, infection, dehydration, or other gastrointestinal problems. Finding and treating the underlying cause is just as important as correcting the prolapse itself.

We’re happy to report that his suture has since been removed and there has been NO recurrence of the prolapse! 🎉 He continues to do well.

Wildlife medicine definitely isn't always glamorous—and sometimes it’s downright stinky! But Rita jumped right in and took care of this little guy like a champ.

We love having veterinary students rotate through Wild West Wildlife and giving them the opportunity to get hands-on experience with some of the unique medical cases that wildlife rehabilitation brings.

Way to go, Rita!
