General Questions to ask first:
Is the animal in immediate danger?
Is there a dog, cat, car or other immediate threat to the animal? If it is safe to do so, intervene. If the animal is uninjured, release in a safe location not far from finding spot.
Is the animal injured?
Do you notice flies, fly eggs, open wounds, injuries, or a strong odor? This animal needs help from a licensed rehabilitator.
Is the mother still around?
Many animals (such as fawns and bunnies) are left alone for several hours, while others should be around their mothers most times. Unless you see a dead mother (and/or the animal is in immediate danger or injured) please send a photo to 828-646-8639 before intervening.
