- Basic principles of wildlife anaesthesia
  BSAVA Manual of Wildlife Casualties
  
  Author Michelle Barrows
  
  Anaesthesia of wildlife casualties can be challenging. Many patients suffer stress, related not only to disease or injury, but to confinement in captivity. This is exacerbated by restraint and handling and often necessitates the use of sedation or anaesthesia for thorough examination. It is important that the basic principles of good anaesthesia are applied, that the patient and equipment are prepared correctly and that appropriate methods of chemical restraint are chosen.
- Law affecting British wildlife casualties
  BSAVA Manual of Wildlife Casualties
  
  Author Margaret E. Cooper
  
  The care and treatment of wildlife casualties presents special challenges to the veterinary surgeon not only in terms of unusual species and their lack of habituation to captivity, but also in respect of the legislation that applies to the rescue of sick and injured wild animals and their rehabilitation and release. The purpose of this chapter is to point to the areas of law that are particularly relevant to wildlife rehabilitation and which may be useful to those who work in this field.
