"We have a baby raccoon that was found lying by a tree yesterday. It was put in a box with shelter from rain and with a towel overnight. However it was still there this morning. It’s currently indoors with a towel and warm sock filled with rice. It does not appear to be injured and is quite vocal. We have not given it any food or water. Looking for advice on what to do with the poor guy. Do we leave by tree again tonight or can it be dropped off at a rehab center? Just concerned with it being cold and no food."

"Hi. We have 8 orphaned baby opossums in our backyard, found yesterday, mother deceased and removed. Not sure of age, not newborn. Eyes are open, have fur, and one was running around yesterday when we removed mother. Body about 4-5 long. I have contacted DNR, GA Wildlife Removal, Cherokee Co Animal Hosp, with no luck. We are in Acworth, at Cobb-Pauling line. Can you advise us on this, at this difficult time? Thank you."

"I've recently found 8 baby possums and was emailing to see if you could take them in for rescue/ rehabilitation. Unfortunately the mother is confirmed deceased. All are alert and very active and are approx. 3 to 4 inches long. I am in Columbia, Tn and can drive them just about anywhere in state or the surrounding states. I have tried contacting Walden's puddle and mid tn animal rescue but neither is accepting babies at the moment. If you are unable to take them are there any other rescues you could recommend?"

"Hello, my cat pulled a pair of baby birds out of their nest and brought them to my 4 year old daughter. We separated them from the cat before she could hurt the birds, but the nest is easily accessible and we are afraid to put them back. What do I need to do? Can I put them in a different nest that is not reachable by the cat?"

"Mother Mallard duck nested and has now hatched 11 goslings on the roof top floor of our Highrise building here in Yorktown Shopping Center in Lombard. Mom and babies are all alive and healthy. Tthey are now three days old and mom has them walking the roof to stay in the shade and we have provided a small water souce with shallow water for drinking and swimming in which they actively move and play. Our problem is that we do not know how to get them to some safe location off the rooftop where mom can train them and they can be in a natural environment. HELP! She is a magnificent bird and a wonderful, protective mom. I am a senior citizen living in the building who adores wildlife. I am terrified these beautiful creatures of God will perish because of inability to get them to the proper environment. We have natural predators in the area. Please help me. I have read all the info on the net concerning this topic, have purchased baby duck unmedicted feed and have kept water in the area."

"My name is William and I recently found a small bird that seems to have fallen out of its nest. I assume it’s young because it can’t fly and I was just wondering about the correct procedure to deal with this type of situation. I’ve currently put it in a box with an open lid and I’m hoping to see whether or not it’s parent will come. I’ve attached some photos of the bird to help identify what type of bird it is."

"Hi, in the morning I found a bird trapped in the glue trap outside so I rubbed it with a little oil to save it and it worked then I washed it gently poring a little water with soap on the body part and using a cotton to clean it . No the bird is fine and I held it in a cage but I think it’s still wet (or has oil on) I don’t know how to help him get back to nature it should be dry. What do you think I should do?"

"I work at a hardware store and an employee found a couple of newborn mice in our birdseed. We had to move them. I just don't know what to do with them. I don't want them to die. If you have any suggestions it would be much appreciated."

I have baby food I can feed her, like fruit and sweet potatoes. I am in a crisis of my own and need to deal with my needs. I have had her with me since around 10am."

"Hello. My name is Cali and my children found a baby opossum on the side of our road this afternoon without a mother. It was covered in fleas, flies and eggs. They gave it a bath and removed all of the bugs. It drank a little water and some apple...not much. It's eyes are open but it still fits in one hand. Are you able to rehabilitate it or can you direct me to who could?"

"We rescued three baby ducklings from the side of a busy road. We were unable to locate any other ducks or water nearby. They are about 2.5 weeks old and we have purchased a brooding light and duck food to keep them safe and well until we can find a rescue or wildlife rehab facility that can take the babies. We reached out to the Chattahoochee Nature Center and they directed us to you. Would you be able to give us information on who can take the baby ducklings. They are not in any danger - are doing very well - learning to swim - and kept warm. We are willing to drive to drop them off at a facility."

"Today me and my husband found a blue jay in our porch it seems to have injury because it can't fly. So we put him in a cage and left some water in there for it. And we will see if he is still alive tomorrow morning - if so, I would bring it to a vet (myself have a dog and a cay, but no experience with bird). Is there anyway we could bring it to you guys after the vet? I just want to give it a try since all lives are precious."

"I have come across a very young nestling I was unable to locate a mom bird, the other nestlings did not make it and it was unsafe to return the nest where it was balancing on top of pallets and other inventory. Im not sure what kind of bird it is, as there are a lot of birds flying around my work outside in the garden area. I’m not sure what to do from here I am feeding it very often with a mixture of things suggested online, the baby is eating and is currently in its nest that is inside of a cardboard box surrounded by towels and also sitting on a heating pad for warmth. If someone could give me a call and let me know what I can do to either keep this baby thriving or a place I am able to take it I would really appreciate it."

"We ended up wirh a little duckling, may be 9 days old who we want to rehabilitate, very healthy, just ended up in our swimming pool with her mother duck and 11 other ducklings a week or so ago. They all couldn’t get out of the pool, they were like a day or two old. We were able to get 11 out and reunite with the mama duck, but she left before we could get out the last one. Trying to find a good home for her with other ducklings."

"We have a sparrow (adult) that couldn’t fly when we found it on Friday. We put it in a box and have kept it warm. We called Walden Pond and left a message. Their message said they’d reply on Monday. We’ve gotten busy signals all morning and since learned after checking their Facebook page that they are not accepting animals during the coronavirus epidemic. What should we do? We don’t know whether it can fly. What we do know if we let it go outside and can’t fly, it will hop off. We had a tough time getting it on Friday as it was hopping so fast. We don’t want to send it off defenseless but are fully aware we are not qualified to help it recover if its wing is broken. Thank you for your kind consideration of our situation."

"Thank you very much for the great work that you do. We rescued a small rabbit from our outdoor cat last night and have kept him inside overnight. Looks like he has two small wounds on his back and his tail has been ripped off leaving his bottom very raw, but not bleeding. Attached are a few photos. We live in Columbus and would be willing to bring him to Meridian if he needs to be evaluated. Possibly you know of a wildlife rehabber in Columbus or nearby."

"My female bunny had babies yesterday morning, and I checked on the babies this morning and they look very hungry and their skin is pretty wrinkly. So i checked to see if the mother was producing any milk and I am almost certain she isnt. I have kitten formula and a little feeder just in case but I am not sure what to do. Should I leave them alone or should I start to nurse them myself? I just dont want to mess anything up."

"My mother has a new pond that she recently found a rather large turtle in that is not behaving normally. He does attempt to flee, but very slowly and not fast enough to get away if we wanted to catch him. He also seems to have trouble submersing himself. He is unable to go under water completely. It looks like he has an abrasion of some sort on the top of his shell. It is a very shallow abrasion. She is wondering if something is wrong with him and if she should leave food out for him. Do you think he needs a rehab or is he ok being out in nature?"

We were able to free it, but it looks like the leg may be broken. Wasn’t sure what to do at this point. It is laying in the shade and we got it some water and lettuce but didn’t know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated. My kids are very concerned about the bunny."

"I saved a baby squirrel. Now what?? We saw a dead squirrel in our driveway two days ago and then today there was this loud crying it sounded like birds at first but then got louder and was definitely not a bird. It was too loud so I looked around the house... the squirrel had fallen down the stairs to our attic :( we think the mom was the one that died in the driveway. It cried for hours before I knew it was in the attic. I know squirrels are usually up there but mama didn’t come get baby ( there is a door and set of stairs that lead up into attic the baby was at bottom of stairs up against door). It was very weak but we looked up how to feed it and gave it some homemade pedialite water from a syringe. It started moving a lot more but eyes aren’t open. It’s in a box with a towel now. By the things we read online it’s size is enough that it’s eyes should be open so it’s got to be close if the eyes are closed from it being a baby (and not the fall down the stairs). It took a while to get it to drink from the syringe dropper but it finally did. Are you still open right now? Are you taking animals?"

"My husband found 4 extremely young raccoons, younger than 1 week. There home was destroyed and no mother came for them. We have been feeding them KMR and they are doing ok as far as we can tell. We are not able to care for them any longer and need someone who will release them when they are old enough and able. Could you help us with this, please. Our 9 year old grand daughter has been feeding and caring but honestly is having a hard time understanding that the more she handles them the harder she makes it for them to survive without human help. Any help would be appreciated. We live in Windsor, South of Sedalia, Mo. Thank you."
