Thank you for helping this little guy. Hopefully the vet doesn’t have to put him down, but at least someone will help him either way. For future reference, the conservation department won’t do anything. They’ll tell you to let nature take its course. I’ve called them many times for random animals. Last time I called them about a baby deer stuck in the fence outside my neighborhood and I barely got someone to help us (they had to put it down) but only after playing phone tag with two or three people over several hours to finally find someone who would come help. Thank you again for your kindness!

Thank you! I knew the conservation department wouldn't do anything as we've called them a couple of times before about different animals. I just thought it was worth a try since there aren't many resources for injured wildlife where I live.

I wish there was an emergency wildlife vet or something where a person could call and get help in situations like this :/

I know right?! It's so stressful encountering an injured animal because it's so hard to find anybody that can help. I know that it's usually best to let nature take its course, but this coot was a little hard to pass by since he was right at the front door of my dad's business!
