You are limited in what you can do if you can't touch Lion. Please make sure he has plenty of food and water and a comfortable place to relax and hide in to feel safe. Hopefully he will get better on his own. If you have an animal rescue place in your area they may have someone who can catch him in a trap and get care for him. I'm glad you are doing your best to help him. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Lion.
