Thanks for your reply! The coot is being transported to Sunshine Animal Hospital right now so hopefully they can help him out.

Yeah whatever the outcome is, it's much better than his other options. He seems totally fine aside from his broken foot, so hopefully that is a good sign. I gave him a little dish of water and caught him trying to lay it earlier haha. Coots are one of my favorite birds, but I don't think I've ever seen their feet either until I came across this guy. They're very unique.

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!

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.

Thanks so much for your reply! We actually just called them tonight since they were open until 7 and they said that they can take him! We were worried that we would have to have him put down but now he has a chance.

We just called Sunshine Animal Hospital and they said that they'll take him!

Great, thanks! We'll try to call them tomorrow.

Did it cost you anything?

Thanks!

Yeah, I figured we might just have to put him down. We tried to get a vet involved but she doesn't work on wild animals. I'll wait a little longer and see if we can find any help for it. It's sad because he seems so healthy otherwise.
