It's been over 4 years since I started getting paid to be a full-time wildlife veteriarian and I'm still loving it. I often forget how lucky I am to have a career I love....
In 2012, our center admitted over 185 speices, ranging from birds and mammals to amphibians and reptiles. Each of those species has a different life cycle, different diet different habitt, different natural history everything....if we don't replicate these details in captivity as close to nature as we can, we can often have iatrogenic injuries....iatrogenic means that we (the caretakers) caused them.
I'm a wildlife rehabilitation veterinarian and I LOVE my job:) I want to share my passion with those who wish to read. Hopefully the pictures and cases will inspire and encourage compassion for animals in others.
We must be their voices...

- In my mind, the role of the veterinarian is not limited to animal health; it is a veterinarian's responsibility to act as an advocate for the animals they work with, so they may be heard.
