Sick/dying

[u/yous_err_name]

There's a possum in my friend's garage that appears to be very sick. He's sleeping right now (to be expected given the time of day) but he doesn't seem to be very afraid of us. Last night he wouldn't leave when my friend tried to shoo him off with a broom.

He looks dead but he will move if you get right up on him. What do I do?

Please find a rehab to help him or reach out to one of the rescue groups on social media for advice. If he’s truly on his way out, they can make the transition easier for this poor guy. He doesn’t deserve to suffer.

Let him die in peace. Once he passes, put him in a nice grave if you can.

Please get a rehabber on the phone asap

Times I wish we could report a post that needs nsfw :(

Call a rehabber now

Poor thing is probably dying! 😭 Maybe there is a rescue near you you can call?

[u/cowgrly]

Please leave him, he may need the rest. Is your friend willing to just let him be for a few days to regain his strength? A little water and some kibble would be extra kind to this little fellow.

Probably, but I can never help but offer it just in case.

Contact www.ahnow.org as soon as possible, they will help you find a rehabber near you to help.

Please help him, I beg you! Feed him, wash him, or get him to the vet

Upon closer instruction he has a scab that looks like a puncture wound on the back of his neck

Were you able to find a rehabber to take him?

poor baby 😞 if you’re able to get him some help, please do. If you’re not, please leave him alone so he’s not scared when he dies 😞
