Introduction What is wildlife rehabilitation? How does wildlife rehab differ from private veterinary practice? Triage Definitions Applying triage to wildlife Case examples Patient assessment Case examples Euthanasia vs. rehabilitation

Abstract

Sick and injured wild animals often present to veterinary clinics and wildlife rehabilitators.  It can be difficult to know which wild animals will survive the rehabilitation process to release and which won’t.  This presentation will use data from one of the largest wildlife rehabilitation centers in the country to help predict which patients will make it to release and which won’t.  This will help those in involved in wildlife rehabilitation know when to euthanize on admission and when to attempt rehabilitation.  This case-based, interactive presentation aims to bring beginners up to speed, but also offers helpful tips, tricks and insights for the experienced rehabilitator and veterinarian.
