Last week we had a good samaritan bring an injured duck to the clinic. We contacted another local vterinarian's office who works with our local wildlife rescue group, Keeper of the Wild, only to find out that they are currently unable to take in any animals right now due to financial constraints and they may have to close their doors.
Luckily, we were able to locate a private rehabilitator to take "Bullet" and help him on his way to recovery.
Keeper of the Wild is the primary wildlife rescue group in this area and in order for veterinary clinics to take in injured wildlife, we need to make sure this group is able to stay up and running. Most general veterinary hospitals do not have the correct training or proper facilities to care for injured wildlife and we usually stabilize these animals and turn them over to Keeper of the Wild.
Any help would be appreciated to help keep this rescue open. Anyone can drop off supplies or donations at our hospital and we will deliver them to Keeper of the Wild or a participating drop off location. They are in great need of dog and cat food and monetary donations. You can also contact them directly through their website:
