Guidance is not a diagnosis

Every Wildlife provides general education—not veterinary, medical, legal, licensing, regulatory, or animal-control advice. It cannot replace an examination, diagnosis, treatment plan, permit decision, or instructions from the authority responsible for wildlife in your area. Before making major care decisions, consult an experienced veterinarian and the appropriate local wildlife, agriculture, public-health, and licensing authorities.
