Sassafras was found on the ground near the local colony, in a large park. She was about 4 weeks old.
She had a significant head injury, was very passive, didn't use her legs much, and appeared to be blind.
She was actually neurally blind for a while - the head injury had caused some swelling which affected her ability to see. As her injury improved, she regained her sight.
She was actually no trouble. She fed well and quickly and just behaved like a little baby,
It took about a fortnight for her to start to wake up and move around under her own steam, then there was no stopping her.
She was released in April 2017 after 3.5 months in care.
