MNRF Guidelines for Sick or Wounded Wildlife Encounters

The MNRF is making sure the public has all the facts in case you come across a sick, injured or abandoned animal.

The MNRF says while many encounters will happen in wooded areas, wildlife can be drawn out onto our northern roads as well.

If you do rescue a small animal it’s important to get it to a facility equipped to help it as quickly as possible.

The MNRF says if you do come across what appears to be a diseased or dead animal you should call the Wildlife Health Cooperative or your local health unit if you suspect it could be transmitted to humans.
