Please note that we are NOT able to accept or treat ANY wildlife until further notice at the advice of the state veterinarian due to the avian influenza outbreak in our area. Avian influenza is a highly contagious and deadly virus. Some signs of AI may include stumbling and falling, swelling around the head, eyes and neck, nasal discharge, or respiratory distress. For more information regarding avian influenza, please visit our website at www.kbahonline.com or the deep website.
If you have found a deceased wildlife bird, do not touch it with your bare hands. It should be disposed of properly either by burying or in a double bag placed in your garbage receptacle. If you have found a live bird that you suspect may have avian influenza or if you have found several dead birds in the same area, please call the Connecticut state veterinarian at 860-713-2505 or the DEEP Wildlife Division at 860-424-3011.
