When two bears suffered painful burns while escaping Southern California's wildfires, veterinarians used an unconventional bandage to treat the animals' paws: fish skin.*
The bears, along with a young mountain lion with less severe burns, were treated by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife after the Thomas Fire (http://mashable.com/2017/12/24/thomas-fire-becomes-largest-california-history/) burned through Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. The wildfires that swept through California in late 2017 were the worst in the state's history (http://mashable.com/2017/12/05/california-wildfires-thomas-fire-ventura-santa-ana-winds/). The Thomas Fire was the largest ever recorded, burning through 273,400 acres.*
According to a statement (https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Science-Institute/News/PostId/89/badly-burned-ursines-get-back-on-their-feet-thanks-to-teamwork-and-fish-skin) by the CDFW, the bears' injuries were severe, with "oozing wounds, and, in some cases, paw pads that were completely burned off."
