It started with a call from Animal Control, which had found a juvenile raccoon that was very emaciated, weak, and sick looking. I had them take her to my vet for blood work and an X-ray.<\/p>\n<p>This raccoon was suffering from pneumonia and was so sick she was basically almost dead. She needed antibiotics and food but was extremely weak. I opted for an esophageal tube placement to make sure she received enough nutrients and medication. After the vet placed the tube, I took the raccoon home and began my regimen of antibiotics, formula and my go-to <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-carnivore\/\">EmerAid IC Carnivore<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9606\" src=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/raccoon-in-blanket-20211212-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"head of raccoon peeking out from blue blanket\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/raccoon-in-blanket-20211212-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/raccoon-in-blanket-20211212-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/raccoon-in-blanket-20211212-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/raccoon-in-blanket-20211212.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Within three days I saw a difference in her energy. These feedings went on six times a day, because I couldn\u2019t feed her too much at one feeding due to her body being so sick.<\/p>\n<p>It took weeks with around-the-clock care to get this poor raccoon healthy enough for tube removal. She was a mere 1.5 pounds when found. At her vet visit for suture removal she weighed in at 3.25 pounds and had grown bigger and taller. The vet was amazed at her transformation and asked what I used to get weight on her so fast. I again owe the nutritional gain to EmerAid for having such amazing products that are formulated species-specific.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raccoon that was nearly dead receives round-the-clock care for weeks from Nay Nays Wildlife Rehabilitation Center to finally recover. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":9602,"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-9601","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 -
