Wildlife veterinarian


Wildlife veterinarians are animal health professionals. They are specialized in treating of different types of wildlife including birds, reptiles, mammals and reptiles in the field or in veterinary office setting. They are involved in the protection and conservation of the members of wildlife ecosystem. 


What are the duties of a Wildlife Veterinarian?

Wildlife veterinarians are important part of the conservation of wild animals. The major duty of wildlife veterinarian are:

- performing examination of sick animals, 

- giving vaccinations, 

- evaluating blood samples, 

- administering fluids, 

- doing surgeries whenever necessary, 

- treating wounded animals and many more that are concerned with animal health. 


They work from assisting captive breeding to caring young animals abandoned by their parents. They are assisted by well-trained veterinary technician and wildlife officials. Wildlife veterinarians also conduct research on animals for betterment and enhancing the animal health. Wildlife veterinarian can also be categorised according to size of animals (small or large) they treat. Those dealing with large animals are called large animal vets and other one called small animal vets. I am a veterinary undergrad at 3rd year and I have aim to be an wildlife veterinarian so as to serve to these valuable creatures in forest.

In Nepal, one new wildlife veterinary hospital is established in Chitwan which is a positive sign from government side for all the peoples involved in the conservation and protection of wildlife. We must all give respect to all the wildlife veterinarian as we give to human doctor, this can definitely encourage them working in this field.

    Hello Alok!
    It's your SJ mentor.

    I hope you doing well.
    Thank you for writing such an informative report.
    Many wild animals are designated as endangered throughout the world.
    They can try to increase the population, take care of the injured animals, and do a lot of ecological research.
    As the number of endangered species is increasing, I think the importance of the wildlife veterinarians will increase in the future.
    It's cool that you've already set a firm course.
    I will root for you the whole time.

    Best regards,
    SJ mentor.

    Thank you for sharing such an interesting report!
    Wildlife veterinarian plays a major role in taking care of the wildlife and its surrounding, so I think it is an amazing job.
    I believe that you will be a wonderful wildlife veterinarian after you graduate!
    Hopefully we can settle better infrastructure for them,
    and people increase wildlife awareness as well, so we can have volunteers as well.

    Keep sharing
