Newby needs a little help!! (1 Viewer)

[AlCandJbB]

hello everyone My boyfriend and I rescued this crow from a nearby park in the middle of the night and we're hoping to get some insight as to what might be ailing him. Think he's lost almost all of his sight the left is visible and blinking, yet is underneath a significant layer of skin. The right eye was completely taped with goop that I was able to clear away while he was given a bath which he enjoyed for about 25 minutes. He was barely able to stand when we first got him and progressed to now 3 days later is finally making noise and moving around a lot more and pooping though doesn't seem to be eating or drinking very much. Any insight or assistance anyone can give after the nature of potential illness, as well as potential health concerns for my boyfriend and I would be helpful as to there is not very many places to verify a condition as such. If this site has the bird lovers I believe it has then I think you had a time for all your help! Amber and Branden

Hi Amber and Branden and welcome to BirdForum. Very sorry about your predicament. You can do a Google search for a Wildlife Rehabilitator in your particular area and see what comes up. Might be a bit difficult for a Friday night but hopefully there will be someone available tomorrow a.m.
For this evening, I would try and get it in a large box with a soft towel on the bottom and put a small bowl of water and a small dish of bird seed or some kind of bird food. It hopefully calm down when you diminish the light around it.

Please do us a favor and let us know in the morning how it is doing and if you have returned from the Wildlife Rehabilitator. Fingers crossed for you guys.

Thanks for the help. He was just picked up by the humane society. Thankfully to much delight he is just a little baby crow and thankfully the news quickly put our worries away! Almost wish we knew then he probably would have stayed! JK we save wildlife! But expect visitations!


Thanks again
