This web site, Wildcare.com, is operated by Wildlife Publications which is operated by Jan White, DVM. Jan has been active in the field of wildlife rehabilitation since the 1970’s and endeavor to bring our experience into wildlife publications to benefit those coming into the field. When I started, there were precious few reliable sources of information to guide any of us. Rehabbers learned, literally, the hard way. Today, thirty years later, we continue to work with wildlife rehabilitators and allied health professionals to develop new information on the medical management and rehabilitation of wildlife. You see, the mission of Wildlife Publications is to provide wildlife rehabilitators with quality information through the sales of books, occasional papers and educational seminars. Additionally, we have developed sections of this web site to assist with off-label vaccine use in wildlife and use of disinfectants for elimination of specific disease agents.
If you are not a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, falconer, or veterinarian working with a licensed individual or organizational permit, specific information on how to care for protected species is not available through this site. It is our belief that only licensed wildlife care professionals should have open access to information that would provide specific instructions on how to do an activity that is illegal for unlicensed people. Caring for most wild animals does require training, experience and is an active learning process. If your situation is somewhere in between, e.g., you are an apprentice, intern, permit pending, live in a country where there is no licensing process, or a state where only the centers are licensed, email JanWhite@wildcare.com and let me know before ordering. We do offer to any one, a nice selection of books that detail natural history and related topics. For those looking to join the profession, we provide information on reaching state and federal offices that can guide you. We also give information on other professional organizations in wildlife rehabilitation.
Wildlife Publications believes that that authors should benefit from their labors. We do pay royalties to encourage authors to write and keep their materials current. Wildlife rehabilitation and veterinary medicine are constantly improving their methods. Our goal is to offer the highest quality information and we help our authors do just that. If you are an interested author, please send an e-mail inquiry to JanWhite@wildcare.com .
Wildlife Publications offers lecture courses to wildlife health care professionals. Call us if you would like to develop a class. Please allow 3 month lead time for an organized mailing to potential attendees, registration, booking a site, and other details. It does not require any financial investment to host a class, however, there a considerable amount of local coordination and effort required. Lecture courses currently available and information on our instructors is provided in the web site. To inquire on the details of hosting a class contact Jan White@wildcare.com.
