Synopsis
This book is for everyone who cares about the suffering of injured wild animals, offering practical advice and information to turn to upon finding a wild creature in pain and needing immediate help. Care of the Wild provides instructions for the temporary care of wildlife until professional custody can be arranged. It mixes compassion for animals with common sense and respect for their wild state. The authors, internationally recognized experts on veterinary care of wildlife, have prepared this edition especially for American readers. Birds and mammals are covered in detail, and there are also sections on reptiles, amphibians, and fish, as well as discussions of insects and various parasites. Written with great clarity and charm, the book describes:
* the basic skills of animal first aid
* methods of handling, transportation, simple diagnosis, treatment, feeding, and temporary housing
* treatment for auto injuries, poisoning, trapping, hunting, contamination, and accidents of various kinds
* care for orphans
* identification of species commonly encountered in the United States.
It also contains important information about wildlife laws and regulations, a list of wildlife rehabilitation centers in the United States, and a discussion of euthanasia.
