Mechanicsville wildlife control tip of the month:

SHOULD I FEED A BABY RACCOON I FOUND?

What if you find an abandoned raccoon? They are not exactly wild animals but at some point are rabid. Raccoons are curious, smart and Mechanicsville animal control agile which makes raccoon-human encounter very common. If you have found an orphaned and injured raccoon don’t just jump to feed them up thinking they are hungry or orphan. Put it in a Mechanicsville animal control big basket around that area and wait till mother raccoon comes searching her baby.

Few things you need to make sure before taking any stepsare:
• Mother raccoon is returning within 8 – 12 hours or not.
• Is the raccoon injured?
• Try to guess its age looking at the size and how much she weighs.
• Is the raccoon dehydrated?



The first reaction when you encounter a hungry or orphaned baby raccoon abandoned by her mom may be to feed milk, but stop please don’t. Most of the animals cannot digest cow’s milk. It can cause death of the wild baby Mechanicsville pest control animal due to diarrhea. But before feeding anything it’s very important to ensure that the baby’s body core temperature is at an acceptable level.

If it is severe dehydration Vet is needed to give subcutaneous injection of fluid through Mechanicsville animal trapping an IV, you can locate one local vet or can call the local animal control agencies. In case of mild dehydration you can give the hydration formula of 1 pint of boiled water to that add sugar, salt and give orally every 3 hours or else diluted Mechanicsville animal trapping pedialyte every hour works fine for baby raccoons. Once the baby is calm and accept hydration you can start with the recommended formulas which are KMR (kitten Mechanicsville exterminator Milk Replacer) or Esbilac. For normal baby raccoons the formula should be heated to body temperature before feeding and for the first four weeks they should be feed 5 times a day of 4 ounce size. But if it is a juvenile raccoon they can be Mechanicsville exterminator given soft gruel or uncooked corn and carrot. But hey folks remember an adult raccoon is an omnivorous and opportunistic eater!
