She fell 40 feet out of her nest through blackberries, they slowed her fall and probably saved her ...heard the shrieking from inside and found her immediately on the leaves below with mom above having a confrontation with another adult above. She has many superficial scratches from the thorns, and a couple small open wounds on the inside elbows and another 1/2" down from the underside base of her tail. We cleaned up the wounds and put some colloidal silver gel on them--they should heal fine. She's spunky and energetic, eyes just opening, seemed a bit dehydrated so we've gotten some water/honey (1 cup to 1 tsp) down her, but carefully as she hasn't been too enthusiastic about it. had her about 8 hours, since 8 am.
I would like to put her back in the nest, I'm just concerned that mom might reject her because of the wounds with dire consequences--and I don't know how long I can keep her to heal before mom rejects her. I have the best raw goat milk at hand and Fox valley 20/50 will be here tomorrow (from a previous kit that didn't make it.) I've contacted two local rehabbers and have yet to hear back. Any advice would be much appreciated. Also, I climbed up to the nest and it appears she's an only kit.
