Hi Kristy
It is very sad when you try to help and it seems the other party (whos job it is to care about wildlife)dosent seem to really care
I had a similar incident with a hedgehog, I took it in from the road not looking very healthy and contacted a hedgehog rescue group who advised me that they had noone to collect it so I took it to the Vets and they said they would get someone to treat it.
I rang them up about 4-5 hours later to see how it had got on and they told me no one had looked at it yet
I had a phone call 30mins later to tell me it had died
I guess it might have died anyway, but I think if they had looked at it earlier they just may have been able to save it.
But as Blackbrook said on the whole they do a really good job, but just occassionaly it all breaks down.
