The Wildlife Rehabber's Handbook by Bob Anderson Pdf

Wildlife Rehabilitation is both an art and a science. Books written on this topic cover a very wide range of technical content and depth. A majority of these manuscripts cover the art side of the industry. They cover what rehabilitation is, why it's important and a lot of superlative information of many of the activities and actions required. For example, the art form of the rehab document things like abandoned baby rabbit nests. The reader will learn some of the nesting habits of the bunnies, how to determine if the nest has been violated and the fact that rehab is required. Most often, the writer will at serve the casual reader or the individual who wants an overview of the industry. For the individual looking for a hard core, how to, working knowledge there is a void. I spent many, many years trying to find a document that was a real, get your hands dirty and get it done book. For some reason, most of the rehabilitation books are not designed or written to teach the detailed fine points of rehabilitation. The Wildlife Rehabbers Handbook was compiled after many years of collecting both documentation and experience and produced in a technical how to text book format and covers the science side of the industry. This book not only talks about the abandoned bunnies, but instructs the reader how to collect the creatures, how to handle them, how to warm them and also what to feed them, how much and how often. This book was produced to teach a technical subject.

Wildlife Search and Rescue by Rebecca Dmytryk Pdf

Rescuing wild animals in distress requires a unique set of skills, very different from those used in handling domestic animals. The equipment, degree of handling, the type of caging and level of care a wild animal receives can mean the difference between life and death. Wildlife Search and Rescue is a comprehensive guide on ‘best practices’ and suggested standards for response to sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. This valuable resource covers the fundamentals of wildlife rescue, from ‘phone to field’, including safe and successful capture strategies, handling and restraint techniques and initial aid. Wildlife Search and Rescue is a must have for anyone interested in knowing what to do when they are face to face with a wild animal in need, or for anyone involved in animal rescue. While the book focuses on wildlife native to North America, much of the information and many of the techniques are applicable to other species, including domestic dogs and cats.

Practical Wildlife Care by Les Stocker Pdf

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
