How we can help injured wildlife at Jurassic vets

Chalk Ward • May 28, 2019

Living in rural Devon we are very lucky to have an abundance of wildlife on our door step. At this time of year we frequently get calls about wildlife which has been found on its own or injured. But what should you do?


We are always happy to take wildlife in if its injured so do not hesitate to give us a call on 01395 208620. We can also point you in the right direction of rescue centres that will rehabilitate sick or injured wildlife if we feel it is necessary. Our Practice Manager Lisa has a vast knowledge of treating and looking after wild hedgehogs meaning we are able to treat most sick or injured Hedgehogs brought to us in practice.
