I found an injured baby raccoon in my yard. After many hours (overnight) the mother never returned for her baby. Once I examined the baby closely I found that it had no eye balls and the sockets may have been infected which may be why the mother abandoned it. After many google searches and phone calls I finally found an animal hospital that would accept raccoons. It was an hour away. Many of the locations I called closer to me were closed, had no voicemail box, had full voicemail boxes or were unwilling to accept wild animals or raccoons specifically. Thankfully the baby survived the hour trip to Porter County. Lake County animal control is only open from 11am - 4pm Mon-Sat. I don’t believe they help injured wildlife at all and why are they only open 5 hours a day?? Why does Lake County not care about its wildlife? Why couldn’t I find a local animal hospital to help? Help me let Lake County know we want them to offer wildlife rescue services!
