One of my friends from the rescue sent me some photos from the clinic's Halloween event, and there was this super cool raccoon! Thought I'd share.

The city boasts an impressive ratio of up to one critter for every four people

This young raccoon was stuck in a storage unit for 6 days when Chelmsford Animal Control officer Glidden was called to rescue him.

He was very dehydrated and his eyes were filled with lots of nasty green discharge when he was brought to us.

We needed to quarantine him to make sure the discharge wasn't from distemper or anything else contagious. In the meantime, he was treated for dehydration and parasites. The picture to the right is two weeks later. He is a whole new raccoon!
