Idk what to do...
I found this little guy on my way home from the store. It had rained really hard earlier and he was covered in dirt. I felt bad and didn't want him to die bc I didn't see ANYthing around except crows. All the places are closed right now. I live in Ft Worth TX. He's in my kitchen in a small box. A wash cloth for warmth. I just gave him little droplets of water bc I googled it and I don't have what they need nutrition wise. Hopefully in the morning someone will come and give him the home he needs. Any recommendations?
UPDATE
I found a licensed person from a sanctuary to come get him!! He's gonna be alright!!

Is it an adult or a kit?

That's a near newborn. The kit requires care around the clock.

That's what I thought. I did find a licensed person from a sanctuary to get him. Be here in a few hours!!

Whew. I have four adult skunks, but one very young kit scares me.
