Take it to them. Soon it will need to be tube fed rather than bottle as that does not work well for long.Tube feeding is easy once you know how but need catheter tube etc . And handling a wild animal is dangerous. You never know which one has rabies in its blood or a number of other diseases .
There was a man who raised a raccoon for months before the man came down with rabies. It can stay dormant in some cases. But for the animal's sake, take it in. They will know what it is when they see it.
I came across a pup in the woods on the Hatfield mcCoy trails. It would not touch any human food I had with me. But was big enough it should have. It had strange eyes and I realized it was a Coydog. I left it so its mother would come out of the woods. Your poor little fella was probably dropped when they burned that area. Mom probably carried away all she could. Sad.

Bub,

Sounds like you only read the first page.

Look at post number 393 to see where we are now.

Randy,

Thanks for the comment!

She is doing well, but we're going to see to it she gets more rabbit. And I hope she can get a male to live with. Then she will be stable and happy. At that point we can work with her in a very healthy and stable mental condition and really learn more.

I'm so happy how things have progressed! It would have been a big mistake to drop her off in the mountains near here and never know her fate. And knowing she escaped the animal control folks is also a huge gift. My hat is off to Southwest Wildlife for their amazing amount of care and understanding.

Seeing her now so tall and healthy and strong really makes me happy. What a girl!

Thanks to you too, for really getting it.

You are right about that. I will get the hang of things eventually!

She is all grown up and looking good. I know how you must feel. At least she is safe.
Each year we watch deer with fawns grow up eating apples under our trees that we no longer pick.
Then in the fall, we try not to think about all the neighbors who are shooting anything that moves on their properties. I dont hunt and dont kill many animals anymore. Copperheads pretty much the only exception. Once you hunted two legged critters that shoot back, it seems like an anti climax. And I dont care for venison that much. But, since my wife has already hit deer twice, I can see a need for limiting the numbers. Just try to keep my mind off of it. Up North they are starting to have the same problem with bears. Bears in the back yards, on the decks, in the road, garbage cans, etc.
Its getting too crowded and animals lose out. Maybe we should open our borders to a few million more people and tear down some more woodland for trailer parks, gas stations, and banks. Seems to be one on every corner.

Hi Raspy,


Happy New Year from Connecticut.

Any news on Sandy? Did u come up with a rabbit fund? If not how about an address where donations in her name can be sent?

 

[Raspy]

Not yet, but I'm working on it. I'm meeting with the Humane Society in January in the Bay Area to get some ideas to help Southwest Wildlife. I'm looking forward to getting Sandy as settled and stable as possible. We'll learn the most from her and have the best relationship with her when he is the happiest. I'm so sorry she isn't here with us right now, but being at Southwest is the best place for her.

Happy New year and thanks for following up on this. It really means a lot to me to know some of you are staying in touch and interested in her.

Cheers,


John
