This comprehensive manual provides evidence-based guidance on the assessment, triage, medical management, and rehabilitation of a wide range of British and European wildlife species. With contributions from leading wildlife veterinarians and rehabilitation specialists, this updated edition reflects current best practices in wildlife casualty care, incorporating the latest advances in diagnostic techniques, therapeutic protocols, and welfare considerations. This extensively revised second edition expands coverage across multiple taxonomic groups including birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians, offering species-specific information on anatomy, physiology, common presentations, and treatment approaches. The manual addresses the unique challenges of wildlife medicine, from initial capture and handling techniques to post-release monitoring, while emphasizing the importance of biosecurity, zoonotic disease awareness, and legal considerations surrounding wildlife care. Practical guidance on establishing triage protocols, creating appropriate housing facilities, and developing successful rehabilitation programs makes this an invaluable resource for both experienced practitioners and those new to wildlife medicine. Beyond clinical management, this manual explores the broader context of wildlife casualties, including the role of veterinary professionals in conservation efforts, public education, and data collection for epidemiological surveillance. The text balances the immediate clinical needs of individual animals with population-level considerations, ethical decision-making frameworks, and welfare-based euthanasia criteria, ensuring practitioners can make informed, compassionate choices in challenging situations.
