Emotional distress animal

 

     Hi, good reader, howdy, today I would like to share about the interesting topic "Emotional distress animal", the main reason why I choose that topic because not many people realize what the animals feel, Many people think that animals cannot be stressed, On the other hand, animals will feel stressed when the colonial territory they inhabit has been damaged by humans, As humans, we cannot just remain silent when we see unusual animal behavior, If we don't know how to handle animals and don't know whether the animal's behavior is sick or not, We need to call the animal service at the zoo or call the handler/animal tamer, If an Animal is stressed or sick, it is less likely to show its natural arousal, Animals that rarely have contact with humans tend to avoid human areas. If an animal approaches a human area and doesn't make trouble, it means the animal is stressed or sick.

When encountering a distressed animal, it’s essential to recognize the signs that indicate they might need help. Here are some features to look out for:

1. Nocturnal Animals Active During the Day: If you see animals that are typically active at night (like possums) out during the day, it’s a sign they might be in distress.

2. Tree-Dwelling Animals on the Ground: Koalas and other tree-dwelling animals found on the ground are likely disoriented or injured.

3. Loss of Balance, Collapse, Confusion, or Panting: Birds or animals displaying any of these symptoms may require urgent care.

Remember, if you come across a wild animal that appears docile—meaning you can approach it without it running away—this is a clear sign that it needs help. Here’s what you can do if you find a visibly distressed animal:

1. Handle with Care: Wrap the animal loosely in a blanket or towel (if safe) and place it in a cardboard box. Then, put the box in a dark, quiet, and cool area.

2. Offer Water, Not Food: Provide cool water in a bowl for the animal to lap from. Do not pour water into its mouth, as this can cause additional distress.

3. Seek Professional Help: Call a wildlife carer or your local vet immediately. They can guide you on the next steps.

Remember, if you encounter an injured or heat-stressed flying fox (fruit bat), do not touch it—call a wildlife carer for advice instead. Let’s all do our part to help our native animals in need!
