If you find an injured wild animal, the best thing to do is to call a wildlife rehabilitation expert or a veterinary professional for assistance. Depending on the type of injury and species of animal, they will be able to provide the best care and treatment options available. In some cases, they may even be able to provide supplies or medications that you can use to treat the animal yourself. Until you are able to contact an expert, make sure to keep the animal warm and quiet, while providing ample shelter and food.

If you find an injured wild animal in the forest, the first thing to do is to try to stay calm. Assess the situation and the animal’s injuries. If possible, try to shelter the animal in a safe spot away from any possible dangers like predators or humans. Then, try to find help. You can post an image or description of the animal online with your location, so people local to you can identify it and give advice on how best to care for it. Or contact local wildlife organizations and explain what happened so they can help with transportation or veterinarian costs if necessary. With luck and quick action, you may be able to save an innocent life.
