Hi everyone.
A few hours ago, a family member found a raven lying in a driveway. It was apathetic and didn’t seem to be able to lift its head.
I ended up with it for the night. He can fly, although not for a long distance. Both legs are moving but one seems to be having muscle spasms. He cannot lift his head or balance properly.
Before anyone says it, yes, I know it should be at a wildlife rehab facility. If it survives the weekend I’ll bring it to one immediately, but I live in a state that is currently about to be hit by a hurricane and the rural roads I live on are not safe to drive.
What can I do for right now? I have given him a little bit of water with chick electrolytes, but he doesn’t seem able to eat or drink normally. Also, my supplies are limited to what I have in the house. I won’t be able to get to the nearest town for at least twenty-four hours, but possibly as many as a few days.
Any suggestions?
