Initial assessment and triage are essential in thewildlife casualty case to enable decisions on treatment and rehabilitation methods tobe made. These processes often involve a chain of veterinary personnel working closelywith local or more specialized rehabilitators to facilitate the recuperation and eventualrelease back to the wild of the patient. Knowledge of the animal’s unique biology,physiology and natural history is essential so that educated decisions can be made asto the best course of action. Difficult decisions may have to be made and thesecircumstances are covered in the text, with examples of cases where euthanasia may beindicated on welfare grounds.The contributing authors have an enormous range of practical experience in theirsubject and this has resulted in a comprehensive and easy-to-use reference text.Common conditions seen in wildlife species in a range of different countries are covered,with cases from Europe, North America, the Middle East and Australia. It is obviouslynot possible to cover all species or conditions encountered, but we hope that theselection of cases presented covers sufficient common scenarios to have direct or indirectrelevance to most readers. The book will appeal to veterinary professionals in generalpractice worldwide as a general reference text, and also for those working more directlywith wildlife who wish to study this field in greater depth.There are few textbooks available to the veterinary surgeon covering wildliferehabilitation medicine in any detail. This book is designed to address that lack ofinformation by providing the reader with an up-to-date text covering commonly presentedconditions and species as well as providing more complex and unusual wildlife casematerial. It is not intended to be a comprehensive text and references are not provided.We hope that readers will find this book both informative and enjoyable to read andthat it will provide an easy revision text for testing existing knowledge and be of helpto those revising for postgraduate examinations.Anna MeredithEmma KeebleAcknowledgementsThe editors are very grateful for the expertise, hard work and punctuality of all theauthors.
