Though we do not see wildlife at our clinic, we are just as
concerned for them as our own pets. Any wildlife issues should be dealt with at
the Wildlife Ward at the University of Illinois 217-244-1195.
Most "orphans" are kidnapped
Many young animals are found by humans
Babies are taken away as the parent watches helplessly from their hiding place
Babies raised by humans, away from others of their own kind have poor chances of
survival
These babies are best left alone
Truly orphaned babies should be sent to licensed rehabilitators
It is illegal for unlicensed individuals to raise native wildlife at home
