Practical Wildlife Care

For carers like myself who are used to gleaning info from experience, other rehabbers and the various published sources (of varying use) this is a little treasure trove.
This book is probably the tip of the iceberg, there must be a wealth if info still waiting to be disseminated from the working practices of rehabbers at the cutting edge of this branch of science.


A recommended buy for anybody involved in wildlife   June 10, 2001

Prior to this book being written, anybody involved in the care of wildlife had to rely upon their own basic skills and the sometimes limited aid of the veterinary surgeon. I work as a veterinary nurse and many of the cases and examples used in the book won't or will rarely be seen in practice yet it is always useful for the information on hand 'just in case'. Wildlife can deteriorate very quickly and trying to find from various sources the help these animals needs only adds to their suffering.

Although most of the information is aimed at the veterinary surgeon in relation to drugs required and any surgical procedures, this book will be of much use to anybody who deals with wildlife be it in their home or a wildlife sanctuary.
