I recently found an injured wild animal in the forest, how can I take care of it?
user
If you find an injured wild animal, the best thing to do is to keep the animal still and safe in a warm, secure spot out of direct sunlight and wind until you are able to get it help. Place a thick blanket over it for insulation and make sure that whatever environment you have put it in, there is enough space for the animal so that it can rest without being cramped. Please remember to be careful when handling any wild animal, as they can potentially be carry harmful diseases. Additionally, try to find or call a local wildlife rescue organisation for assistance in taking care of this animal.

First, make sure the animal isn't injured or dying from anything other than physical trauma. If it is, you will need to seek the advice of a trained wildlife professional. To help keep the animal comfortable until you can obtain additional assistance, provide it with an enclosed warm environment, like a cardboard box lined with soft material such as fleece or cloth and placed in a protected space out of direct sunlight and wind. Add some heat strips in the boxes if ambient temperatures are cold. Check on it frequently for signs of improvement and take notes on its progress. Give it small amounts of food such as insects or an sugar/protein solution as often as necessary to keep alive. Contact your local Department of Fishing Wildlife if more help is needed (if available).
