People found her after she was hit by (what was suspected) a car or bicycle. When she arrived she was emaciated and dehydrated. We determined she had a pelvic injury as well as neurological trauma.<\/p>\n<p>Fluid therapy and nutritional support were provided, with tube-feedings of <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-carnivore\/\">EmerAid Intensive Care Carnivore<\/a>. She was stabilized and was able to heal. We watched her weight climb steadily to an ideal range with every-other-day feedings of the carnivore care, which helped improve her overall health.<\/p>\n<p>After a month of care and tube-feedings, she began eating on her own and has thrived since. While she sustained permanent damage to an eye, she has made a full recovery otherwise and will be released back to her home range in the spring!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An American toad suffers a pelvic injury and neurological trauma after an impact, but the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge is able to rehab her for safe release to the wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":7735,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
