Patient Updates

Taconite was released after 100 days in our care.

You can see the list of all animals released at this release in the release record.

Taconite is not so little anymore! He's long been moved to a pre-release pool where he is joined by many friends. He is still with us as he had to be treated for an infection with antibiotics which need some time to get cleared from his system. Once he's cleared for release, he'll join the others in his pool on their biggest adventure yet...

Taconite is stealing hearts with his long face and big eyes. Vetch tech Bree says that he looks like an old man!
