Product Description

Review

“Les Stocker’s, Practical Wildlife Care, is jam–packed with an incredible amount of information on wild animal rehabilitation. Stocker’s vast knowledge and experience with wildlife reveals itself in every sentence of the book.” (Suite 101, February 2009)

"If the practice has used and found the first edition useful, this updated edition adds to that resource. If, however, the practice does not have any books on wildlife treatment, then this is an excellent addition to the library." (Vet Times, December 2005)

Nigel Taylor, writing in The Daily Express

A simple straightforward guide on first aid, feeding and rehabilitation of all the major species. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A recommended buy for anybody involved in wildlife, 9 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Prior to this book being written, anybody involved in the care of wildlife had to rely upon their own basic skills and the sometimes limited aid of the veterinary surgeon. I work as a veterinary nurse and many of the cases and examples used in the book won't or will rarely be seen in practice yet it is always useful for the information on hand 'just in case'. Wildlife can deteriorate very quickly and trying to find from various sources the help these animals needs only adds to their suffering.

Although most of the information is aimed at the veterinary surgeon in relation to drugs required and any surgical procedures, this book will be of much use to anybody who deals with wildlife be it in their home or a wildlife sanctuary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!, 28 April 2008
By 
This review is from: Practical Wildlife Care (Paperback)
I have been rehabilitating wild birds for 7 years and this has book been extremely useful along with his St Tiggywinkles Wildcare Handbook. The book includes chapters on first response, fluid therapy, wound management, fracture management, diseases, hand rearing, diet, with separate chapters for each different group/species of birds and mammals. Fantastic detail and clear diagrams and photographs. This book is essential for UK rehabbers!
