Giving improper milk or feeding anything to an animal who is not in stable physical condition to digest it (cold, stressed, dehydrated) can be fatal. Do not give milk, formula or water to an infant unless you know what you are doing. It can spread germs and parasites both ways. Please do not let small children or pets have contact with the baby. Use a small box, container or pet carrier with appropriate bedding, on a heat pad on low or under indirect light (baby is covered). If you have found an infant mammal, bird or fawn, find a way to keep the baby calm and warm. If you cannot bring us the animal, we will seek a ride through our facebook page. We are happy to do the work and find the funds to care for them, but we need help with transportation. Rarely do we have the time to pick up animals, but we will try to find a way if callers are unable or unwilling to transport. We will assist these animals outside our area if we have the funds and space, and they have transportation here. Those species are often deer, bobcat, coyote, fox, beaver, cougar, bear, birds of prey and skunks. There are species outside our area who do not have a place to go. We take all species of wildlife for Rogers, Delaware and Mayes Counties. indigenous wildlife can be brought to us for care once you have contacted us by phone. We ask that non emergencies be handled by email to cut down on the constant interruptions by the phone in the clinic. Please contact an appropriate shelter or rescue. We care very much about all animals, but must protect our purpose to maintain a healthy environment for the wild ones. Stray dogs and cats are not considered wildlife, and puppies and kittens constantly bring disease into the clinic which the wildlife have no defense against. Though we wish we could assist with domestic animals, we do not have the facilities or the funds to do so. If you have a wildlife emergency, feel free to continue to call. We have a lot of animals to attend too, but check messages constantly. If you can't reach us immediately, leave a message.
