a rift

lemur-conservation-foundation:

Yesterday we introduced you to one of our special boys- Goose. As stated, Goose suffered an injury presumably from an aerial predator on June 16, 2015, at just 2 months old. While in treatment for his injuries, Goose’s round-the-clock care included feedings every four hours, designing a specially furnished room, and providing him with a battalion of stuffed animal surrogates.

During this time, the staff also began taking Goose for special acupuncture appointments followed by cold laser therapy treatment. While he did not regain function of his paralyzed leg, he did regain motion in his toes, allowing him to grasp objects. On July 8th, the staff watched as Goose was reintroduced to his family. It was a happy day for both staff and lemurs as his family readily took him back. Tune in again tomorrow for another update on Goose’s road to recovery.
