\"raccoon \"4The following story was shared with us by the Humane Animal Rescue Wildlife Center<\/a> in Pennsylvania.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh\u2019s Wildlife Center staff had a busy fall season treating many patients for sarcoptic mange. While mange looks very severe and is a life-threatening medical condition if left untreated, it is actually highly treatable with professional care. Our medical staff have become experts at handling these special cases.<\/p>\n

The raccoon pictured here was brought in with her three siblings this September. The raccoons were severely infested with mites, had skin infections from scratching, and were critically underweight and dehydrated.<\/p>\n

An important step in our treatment plan for mange is to first offer a diet with EmerAid IC Omnivore<\/a> before introducing solid food, as the animals typically arrive emaciated and compromised.<\/p>\n

In addition, months of medications, special baths, and a shave by our rehabbers helped these raccoons feel much better. With a break in our winter weather, she and her siblings graduated to a large, outdoor enclosure where they continued to gain weight, grow out more fur, and prepared for their release early this spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The Humane Animal Rescue Wildlife Center often treats mange, and this time they treated a very weak raccoon and her siblings. The first step was providing nutrition because they were underweight and dehydrated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":9137,"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-9135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nRaccoon Siblings Overcome Sarcoptic Mange -
