We found a distressed possum yesterday in our dog pen. We were able to give it some water and then it climbed the tree out of reach.

Later yesterday, we found it again, bit disorientated under the dog's kennel. We caught it in a towel but before we could move it into a box so we could take it to the vet, it had wriggled free. We gave it some more water while we had it. We left out a bowl of water and some fruit and discovered it in a thick bush seemingly asleep. I checked a couple of times and it seemed okay and then we got about 15 minutes of rain. This morning it was gone.

I've just found it again, climbing down the tree, back in the dog pen. This time with the dogs out there. I brought the dogs back inside and have given it more water. It seems much brighter than yesterday.

Is there anything else we should be doing? Should we try harder to catch it or is doing what we're doing enough. He doesn't seem as stressed as yesterday but the fact he was ready to face off the dogs seems a bit off. What do you think?
