    Default gasping for air

    my little guy has inhaled a bit of fluid while feeding i've been keeping an eye on him but this morning he seems to be gasping for air, doesn't want to eat. i live out of town and only get rides in 1nce or 2wice a month, i'm pretty sure he needs antibiotics is there anything else i can do untill i can get into town and are there any rehabers in ottawa.

    Cynthia, this is a true emergency. He has gotten some of the formula in his lungs and is actually drowning in it. He cannot wait until tomorrow,. Do you have a vet nearby?

    HomeEducation & OutreachWildlife ProblemsSupport Our WorkLinks
    What's New Today's OCWC Wildlife is something many of us feel a connection with, while at the same time we tend to take it for granted. The images that often come to mind are Elk in the Canadian Rockies, or Polar Bears in Hudson's Bay. We sometimes overlook the wildlife we share our backyards with.
    As human populations continue to rise and we continue to encroach on wild spaces, wildlife are having to adapt quickly to our presence in order to survive. This often means utilizing resources that bring them in close proximity with people. Many times this also means human/wildlife conflicts arise. The Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre wants to help people better understand and appreciate wildlife and give them the tools to live in harmony with nature. Each of us has the chance to help conserve nature, starting in our own backyard.
