Don't take a chance with home remedies or topicals that may not be appropriated for the specific problem. Take the dog to your veterinarian and get a diagnosis and treatment right away.

Now she has developed hotspots around the area she held the oppssum. Is this an infection from the oppssum? She is scratching her hair off and making it bleed. I have gentocin topical spray.

She claims that they can't bite with the way the jaws are. I seems to think they can bite but would like clarification I have a lady at work who claims opossums will or do not bite.

If the opossum bite very hard it may have damaged a blood vessel or tendon or the dog maybe beginning with an infection. Don't try to self-medicate an injury like that. Seek medical help.

The mom was dead but the babies alive. They were so small and we didn't think they had much of a chance. 3 weeks later we brought a bird, also hit by a car. We saw our opossums were happy and healthy! Thank you so much for saving them. The work you do is wonderful and we appreciate the time you give. I can't believe you aren't paid and there is not grant money. That is terrible. We will be donating regularly. Crist We brought a mother opossum to you who had babies in the pouch.
