Young Otter’s Roadside Rescue | Bakersfield News

A young river otter narrowly escaped death after a hit-and-run in Vacaville, suffering a chin scrape and brain swelling—but thanks to Solano Wildlife Rescue, he’s on the road to recovery. With pain meds and a strict rehab plan, vets hope he’ll be back in the wild in 7-10 days, once he proves he can hunt, eat, and act like a wild otter again—no meds, no hesitation. This is the first live river otter they’ve ever treated, and with these creatures often traveling miles between waterways at night, this rescue could set a new precedent for wildlife care in California.
