Pet help
Wildlife
We love wildlife. One of the most satisfying parts of our job is helping an injured animal get back on its feet and back home.
Working with WIRES
We work closely with WIRES (Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service) to rehabilitate injured animals.
If you find wildlife in the wrong spot, like in your house, back yard or on a main road, call WIRES straight away on 1300 094 737.
If you find injured wildlife
If you can handle the animal and move it safely, bring it straight to the clinic. A small cardboard box with a towel in the bottom works well for most species. There's no charge for us to assess injured wildlife during opening hours.
Our vets will assess it and work with WIRES to organise treatment where possible.
If we're closed, contact WIRES directly. They'll arrange for the animal to be seen and treated as soon as possible.
Caution
Never handle venomous snakes, and don't try to pick up bats.
