Raccoon took a turn for the worst

[ReneeD]

My sister found this baby coon 3 days ago, it's been doing well however this mornin she is limp and breathing but not normal Bottom jaw opens with every breath, what should she do, is there something to help save her..... You can call or talk here 631 294 7477

Breaths are getting further apart.....just last night she was playing all crazy, eating and drinking. I wish I knew what to tell her to do to save her

If you get no answer quickly, I might give a call to 2ndhandranch, a member here, who posts her (Nancy) number on FB and runs a facility where I know they've done coons many time before:


Call me on my cell 309.738.7480 if you have an animal question

Thank you, I just gave my sister your number, I hope she calls you.... Her name is Tara

[farrelli]

Not my number, Nancy's, and she's in IL, which is at 6:12 AM. She's probably up though, with her brood. Hate to call on her again, bus she's so open and such a professional, so concerned with her furred and featherd friends. This world would be so different with more people like her.

Thank you for offering to help us, I am very sorry to say that she lost her. :( so sad

I had this happen with a young possum once. There was a very fast downturn (overnight like yours) and labored breathing. It was due to an internal infection I didn't catch going septic. The downturn is very fast and fatal without treatment. This might be the same thing that your friend went through.

I'm so sorry, Renee. Little one had a lot stacked against her. RIP sweet little one.
