At The Wild Vet, we believe that wildlife patients deserve the same standard of care as paying clients. For each paying client that we see, a portion of the proceeds goes towards the care of wildlife in our wildlife hospital. We accept all wildlife from the public free of charge and have a strong relationship with local wildlife rescue groups. Did you know that 82% of wildlife patients admitted to vet clinics in Australia have experienced trauma? Unlike other vets who may euthanise or only perform a brief exam before giving the all-clear for a wildlife carer to collect, we perform x-rays on all admitted wildlife, to ensure no injury goes undetected.  Another surprising fact only 1 in 5 veterinary practices will see wildlife immediately upon presentation, with 75% tending to wildlife patients only when they have spare time. At The Wild Vet, we prioritise wildlife with immediate nurse triage, administering pain relief, fluids, and first aid as needed — or compassionate euthanasia if injuries are too severe. When you choose The Wild Vet, you’re not just helping your own pets; you’re also supporting the treatment of injured wildlife that other clinics may turn away or euthanise. Our vets are different, using their experience with weird and wonderful pets to treat native animals. This includes pinning broken bones, providing intensive care, removing intestinal foreign bodies, performing feather transplants and more. We also accept referrals from (and provide advice to) veterinary hospitals who don’t normally treat exotics or wildlife. Our vets are experienced with species that dog and cat vets might not be confident with, and are happy to share our skills and knowledge if it benefits our unique Aussie critters!
