          Abstract<\/h2>\n

          Sick and injured wild animals often present to veterinary clinics and wildlife rehabilitators.\u00a0 It can be difficult to know which wild animals will survive the rehabilitation process to release and which won\u2019t.\u00a0 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\u2019t.\u00a0 This will help those in involved in wildlife rehabilitation know when to euthanize on admission and when to attempt rehabilitation.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
