THE REAL REASON WILDLIFE REHABBERS ASK YOU NOT TO FEED THAT BABY…

It’s not because we want to hog all the fun for ourselves, I promise. It’s because wild orphans aren’t typically healthy enough to digest food, when they are found.

Many are hypothermic. The body can’t even handle water when its core temperature is too low. All energy is going to crucial body functions in that state. If the body has to divert energy to digesting, - it will likely be fatal.

Many orphans are very dehydrated. Animals can’t digest properly when they are dehydrated. The body pulls water into the intestines to aid with digestion. If there isn’t any water to pull from, this could cause a domino affect of problems.

All wild baby animals require a specific diet and that diet generally isn’t available in local stores. Feeding the wrong formula could cause an upset stomach or worse.

All baby animals need specific amounts of formula calculated by their body weight. The percentage differs depending on the species.

Not every animal can drink from a bottle. The correct instrument must be used to prevent aspiration and over feeding.
Bring us a thin, dehydrated, hypothermic animal and we can probably save it. Feed that same animal before you bring it to us…there’s likely nothing we can do to bring it back.

So PLEASE, don’t feed any wild orphans that you have found this baby season. Keeping them warm is a huge help until you find a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

Please spread the word. ❤️🙏❤️

We picked Mason up last night. He’s still having tummy trouble but is in brighter spirits! We are still working to pay his hospital bill, every bit helps! He is in a foster home for a few nights recovering. Big thanks to his foster for taking on this boy with his tummy issues!

Our staff noticed Mason wasn’t himself today. Tummy troubles out of both ends and rather sluggish. Fearing a FBO (foreign body obstruction) the team whisked him to our good friends at Westford Veterinary Emergency & Referral Center.

After an exam, radiographs and ultrasound- they’ve determined he has a VERY angry intestine and colon, but they don’t believe there is an obstruction. Since he was looking dehydrated from all the tummy issues, they’re keeping him overnight and we’ll have an update in the morning.

The one thing I know for sure is- there will be a bill! Please consider helping us pay for his emergency visit. Stay tuned for pics of Happy Mason when he’s feeling better!

Mason is a young golden retriever at Lowell Humane Society waiting to find a home. His ideal home will be teens+ and no other pets - he’s a bossy boy with other dogs. When he’s feeling better he will be ready to roll.
