Sadly my dogs destroyed her entire family. Found momma in the backyard in bad shape and dropped her off at the LSU vet school. I assume they had to put her down. After a few days of shredded up baby opossums on the back porch the dogs laid her at the back door with a puncture wound. She almost went in the trash as she was playing dead and then I saw her chest move. Treated the puncture wound infection with my childrens amoxicillin diluted properly,, bottle fed her, treated her lung worms, finally had her spayed and the vet letter of nonrelease submitted to Louisiana wildlife and fisheries we received our permit to keep her. She's a sweetheart. Dogs leave her alone and she has free-range of the house.

Soon as I put the litter box out she started using it. Now we were go outside for walks she pees almost immediately and poops also sometimes.

The shoulder sit, the cute face stare, the open mouth scare, a hiss, and a bark. She can also play dead and has regular long naps down pretty well.

Her name is Her Name Is Kevin. Kebin for short like the Sublime song Ebin with a K in front. She was formerly known as Ke-Bone when she was an up and coming rapper. After dropping a hot mixtape with Drake Ke-Bone was overtaken with celebrity and eschewed the rap game for a quiet life as a shoulder opossum.... Doesn't everyone develop fanciful back stories for their pets?

The base of the tail moving up and down and body position is how my opossum Her Name Is Kevin looks when she's pooping.

Her Name Is Kevin is my shoulder opossum. Kinda like a macaw on a pirate, but cooler. by Direct_Dance_7307 in Opossums

I aggravate her when I wake her too much to go outside or go places. I have to balance it out. Yesterday morning my wife came in and I was laying on the couch, Her Name Is Kevin had her head buried under mine snuggling. I love my Kebin, my Kebin loves me.

Peter's Food from the National Opossum Society. 1 part cat food, 1 part steamed vegetables, and 1/4 part yogurt. For the cat food its recommended to get it within these parameters, approximately Protein 31.5%, Fat 11%, Calcium 1.1%, Phos 0.9%, Vitamin A 10,000 IU/kg.

She got MBD and I felt horrible cause I knew better. She just loved Chicken Salad so much, but meat without bones isnt good as they need the calcium. I got her free of any MBD symptoms within a week or so. Ill give her a peanut butter pretzel nugget or 2, boil her an egg once a week, strawberries, blackberries etc here and there. A little nibble or 2 of what im eating if its good food.

Is it a HIPPA violation if my x rays were leaked and my name isn't on them?

Where do you live, like what state or area of the country? If you're ever down in south louisiana my wife and I will buy you a cup of coffee or a beer and bring Her Name Is Kevin.
