HELPING ILL OR INJURED WILDLIFE

First check below to see if there is a species-specific specialist.

If not, vets will usually give emergency treatment to ill or injured wildlife, including euthanizing if necessary.

In Otley Cross Green vets (01943 462546) and Dales vets (01943 463447) will do this. They do not provide a rehabilitation or rehoming service.

BUT

If you come across young birds that appear abandoned, proceed with great caution, as appearances are often deceptive. Follow the approach outlined in detail by the RSPB at
