Description

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, the second edition of Practical Wildlife Care 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. 364 p.

The Wildlife rescue textbook! This book is the recognized and recommended handbook for all wildlife rescuers. The author is one of the foremost authorities in the UK and with his years of experience the book contains everything you need to know as a lay person for looking after injured or orphaned wildlife. It is equally a required text book for I suggest all vet practices to help with initial treatment and recognition of young wildlife, I even found it at a wildlife hospital in Africa and that says something about its quality.

Yes ,I am glad I got it as I can now refer to it when I get a call about wildlife. I have rescued hedgehogs and bats etc and found it very difficult to access information on proper rehab care .Will now access the information from this book ,when occasion arises again.It clearly explains what to do and how to care for the creature,as well as how to protect oneself when on the job.

If the practice has used and found the first edition useful, this updated edition adds to that resource. If, however, the practice does not have any books on wildlife treatment, then this is an excellent addition to the library
