Long-shot: Help an injured orphaned juvenile opossum?
Came across an orphaned/injured opossum on the sidewalk yesterday around 6:45pm in a Magnolia neighborhood. It was in the prone position and barely moving. I did the best I was able, giving it some water, then moving it to some shrubs. I was on foot and without means to get it anywhere for medical attention.
A guy and his young kids came around the corner and I alerted him to it and the situation. Im hoping he too did what is/was possible to help it not suffer by whatever means. I reached out to PAWS and they said the only way they can help is if someone brings the animal to them and if nothing else, put it down. I do not have the means to do this, and PAWS told me to put something on social media, so here I am.
If anyone is near the intersection of 32nd & W Elmore St and can try to help somehow, I can offer anything I know.
Best regards.
EDIT: Community member has looked for the opossum and didnt see it. I am thankful there are kind people in this world to take time to care.
