An injured animal or bird: If your level of working with animals is based on domestic animals, please Do Not try to physically handle injured wildlife yourself. GET HELP There are many options, but you MUST call someone who is experienced in handling and working with Wildlife. Many non-seriously injured animals have fatally injured themselves while trying to get away from a person, though well-meaning, who tried to help but did not know how to handle Wildlife. The best help you can give if you are inexperienced in dealing with Wildlife, is to keep others away. This allows the animal to remain calm and prevents it from injuring itself further until experienced help arrives. If you are able to approach a wild animal, then something is wrong with it. If the animal is aggressive and approaches you, it could have rabies. You should avoid any animal exhibiting any signs of rabies and call Animal Control immediately. If the animal appears to be injured, quietly and calmly place it in a box in a peaceful, dark spot in your home until you can take it to a Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator. If it is a baby animal, the parents are likely around, teaching it to forage for food or allowing it to learn survival skills. The best thing to do is to stay inside and observe the baby to make sure the parents are nearby and watching it. If the animal is by itself for longer than a half hour, you should call a Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator for further instructions. The best chance for survival a baby wild animal has is to be raised by it's parents in the wild. Your initial actions may save or cost this animal it's life. It's up to you, so please help responsibly, not emotionally. |
