A good idea is to find a Wildlife Rehabilitation Specialist in your area and keep that number on hand for similar future occasions. They will usually take the animal under their care for free and release them back into the wild after treatment. You may be able to find one in your area on this site: Wildlife Rehab Locator or contact your local Fish & Game Division and see if they know of one in your area.
