Our veterinary obligations ensure we see a steady stream of injured or sick wildlife brought in by the public. It is always interesting to “open a cardboard box” to see what’s inside !!!!

Our clinics spend considerable time, money and resources to attending to wildlife – we see all sorts of wildlife from sleepy lizards, blue tongues, kangaroos, wallabies, magpies, galahs, seahawks, frogs, eagles and other birds. 

Some have been hit by cars, some are tangled in fishing line, some have been injured by lawnmowers – our vets have xrayed, pinned, removed hooks and line, cleaned wounds, sutured skin and given medicines to all such creatures that are able to be treated, returned to health, and released.

Smaller fledgling birds etc that need handraising are passed onto carers for feeding and rehab until release.

Wildlife that is not able to be brought back to health for release is normally euthanased on humane grounds.  Very rarely, some carers and schools seek permits for small wildlife cases that might be suitable (once recovered) for educational purposes.

Our clinics do not charge for accepting and treating wildlife.
