Publisher's Synopsis
This is not just a book about animals. This is a book about: when and how to rescue creatures in distress and give basic physical examination for injury; first aid, species and age identification; the various diets and feeding techniques; basic housing; and general rehabilitation and release techniques. This book will not teach you how to be a vet or a wildlife rehabilitator, but it will teach you how to initially help distressed, injured and orphaned animals, and who to call for professional help.
