Found a shrew that can't walk properly?

Heyy

I just came out of the basement to take care of my rabbits. A little shrew was crouching in front of our door, all huddled up. At first I thought it was dead, but then it started moving and walking around, but in a very, very strange way. It kept swaying back and forth, so it was totally unbalanced. And it couldn't move more than a small walking pace.

The question is what should I do now?
How can I help her?

No external injuries are visible.

Hello.

There are in many larger cities organizations that you can call and then get out for free and take care of the animal.

Maybe you could drive her to the shelter.

Kind regards.

She is probably starving, nickers have to eat almost permanently because they have such a high energy requirement.

2-3 hours without food, and they die.

Spikes are just as much as 2 years old, rather less, then you can’t do much.

Put your lid water in front of your nose and a piece of raw meat, or ideal white one broken up egg.

Otherwise you will not be able to do much, only very few veterinarians take care of wild mice

That’s good 👌 you can see if they’re getting up until tomorrow, vl was evaporating or so, and then letting you take care of yourself again

Would you say that if a bird is threatened to drown in the brook?
