Wildlife care and rehabilitation is often on a one-to-one basis and
involves a lot of time, care and skill. However, for many years,
care of injured wildlife was regarded as a low priority and
euthanasia was the recommended option. A lot has changed over the
past twenty years and now caring for wildlife casualties is part of
everyday life in many veterinary practices.
Following on from the major success of the first edition, this
second edition provides even more useful information on wildlife
care and rehabilitation. As well as covering a whole range of
species, with sections on birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians,
this edition now includes information on many 'alien' species
appearing in the British countryside such as wallabies, wild boar
and exotic reptiles.
In this edition:
Essential guidance on handling, first aid, feeding and releasing,
and many other disciplines not featured in veterinary or nursing
training;
Full of helpful tips from an expert in wildlife rehabilitation who
has unparalleled practical experience;
Expanded chapters on the care of all species - particularly
casualty badgers, otters and hedgehogs - and more comprehensive
guidance on rearing orphaned mammals and birds;
Lots more colour pictures to aid in management and care techniques
and the latest information on zoonotic diseases from around the
world.
