Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| So Loki had his first animal attack today. A baby opposum. He was playing in the yard tonight. I heard some boards fall behind fence. Then, he was running around with what I thought was his raccoon toy. When he started to come in and stopped, I was confused as he usually comes inside pretty well. So, I went to get his favorite toy. Nope, nothing. Back inside for hot dogs. He stopped and dropped what I thought was his toy. Then, I saw refletion of eye. I took him inside. Then, went to check on animal. The poor thing was still breathing well, but not moving around much. Very wet, but no bite marks or blood. It is just a baby. I tried waking my fiance who just told me to throw in the neighbors yard. I wish the wildlife clinic was open, but it is not. That is where I took a baby bunny my lab injured badly. Yet for the other baby bunnies, they told me to put them back. I know Loki found the adult the other day. It played dead and I took him inside and thought it was over. Didn't know babies were in my yard too. This little guy is really bad off and I am sad even though I don't really like opposums (they scare me). I took a shovel and scooped him into the side of my house under some bushes so my dogs can't hurt him again. Figure I'll check on him in morning. Sometimes the bunnies disappeared when I did this and sometimes they would be dead. So, what do you do when you find badly injured wild animals (particularly babies)? We reinforced our fence enough to keep out bunnies so we stopped this issue with my lab. In the past, my dogs only found adult opposums which are harder to injure (they confuse dogs I think) and I only saw babies in front yard. Anyone have tips on how I can keep opposums (particularly babies) out of my yard? The only other animals are birds and squirrels. The squirrels seem to run up the fence as soon as the hear the door open. Dang opposums. |

| When I was younger we used google and raised them ourselves if no bones were broken. Now that I have a car I take them to the wildlife sanctuary in Green Bay. I was actually at school once and got a call from work that a bird flew into the big winds on the terminal. They thought it broke its neck so I had to pick it up and drop it off at the sanctuary for them. |

| Call animal control? They should have resources that can get it to a place where it can be nursed back to health and released back into the wild. |

| Well, the little baby passed away. I'm calling wisconsin humane society today just to ask them where to take or call in future off hours. In the past, my lab did it during working hours, so I could drop off. Last night they were closed. Driving to green bay is far as I live in Milwaukee area. |

| Sorry the baby passed on I've had a few similar encounters with my pups. What I do when they injur a wildlife animal is take it to our 24 hour emergency vet. i just drop it off and the vet fixes the animal or takes it to a wildlife center, so it can recover and can be released back into the wild. |
