Land/Water Wildlife

I began contacting wildlife rehabilitators and finally got this reply:

Success! I was contacted by a veteran wildlife rehabilitator who is willing to give you what you need for her.

She doesn't live far from you. She's one of the best.

 

That sounds promising hydrogardener.

 

This little deer has been wandering backwards and forwards to the corner of the field that backs onto my garden all day, with the hope of getting through the fencing. It had a another one of similar age with it this morning but I haven't seen that since.

Sorry about the image. There is a double fence across my back garden.

 

I made contact with a rehabilitator and she gave me two syringes with Ivemectin in them to inject into her food. I gave her one and the next is due on the 24th. She said I will have to do this monthly as she will probably use the same den and get reinfected again. So, I guess I have a fox to care for. They will supply the meds and needles I just have to go pick them up monthly. They work on donations so there is no charge but I will definitely donate. Rosie has had her first treatment so we will see how it goes from now on.

 

It's good to hear that you can help Rosie Hydrogardener. Let's hope the medicine does the trick. Keep us posted on her progress please.

 

Will do. I bought the medicine as this will be a long term process. They will supply the needles.

 

We have a small raccoon we call Shadow and now we have a BIG raccoon we call Bubba. Last night a feral cat tried to intimidate Bubba out of his dinner. It did not go well for the feral cat, nobody messes with Bubba. Here he is watching the cat approach.

 

Sheal,
She has only had the medicine a few days but she is showing signs of improvement already. Here's hoping.

 

Yes she does look a little better but still looking tired and uncomfortable. Let's hope when more of the medicine gets into her system it gets her through this.

 

She is beginning to look like a fox again. This was taken last night and she has stopped trying to shake the mites off her coat. I have her medicine and the needles arrive tomorrow so going forward I can treat her myself. The video shows her acting normally and her eyes have improved also.

 

Well done @hydrogardener for getting the medicine.

 

Yes, she looks so much better than in the previous image. Well done hydrogardener for helping her.

 

Gertie, one of our resident chipmunks, has decided that she prefers to serve herself.
