Outcome charts pilot project: for their welfare and yours

As a veterinarian or rehabilitator, it can be hard to make triage decisions for displaced, ill or injured animals. Does this animal have a good likelihood of release? Should it be euthanized? What about permanent placement? While some of this information exists in codes, standards, publications and anecdotes, navigating it can be difficult. Partners for Wildlife staff and fellows, along with subject-matter-experts have compiled outcome charts for seven groups or specific species of commonly presented wildlife: bats; cervids; freshwater turtles; mink (Neogale vison); rabbits and hares; raptors and vultures (Cathartes aura and Coragyps atratus). These concise charts are designed to promote timely and humane decisions for their welfare and yours.

Abstract

As a veterinarian or rehabilitator, it can be hard to make triage decisions for displaced, ill or injured animals. Does this animal have a good likelihood of release? Should it be euthanized? What about permanent placement? While some of this information exists in codes, standards, publications and anecdotes, navigating it can be difficult. Partners for Wildlife staff and fellows, along with subject-matter-experts have compiled outcome charts for seven groups or specific species of commonly presented wildlife: bats; cervids; freshwater turtles; mink (Neogale vison); rabbits and hares; raptors and vultures (Cathartes aura and Coragyps atratus). These concise charts are designed to promote timely and humane decisions for their welfare and yours.
