Hi Margot, I would suggest contacting a wildlife rehabber and asking for their advice. They are certified and know what is best for the animals and the humans. One I would recommend is Loril Moondream in Wendell. Her email is dahitaa at hotmail.com, and her phone is (978) 544-6144. I just left a message for her about your situation and asked that she call me. (We are friends, and this is a good excuse to be in touch!) So, let's see what Loril has to suggest about this stinky situation.
