BSAVA Manual of Wildlife Casualties

The BSAVA Manual of Wildlife Casualties, 2nd Edition, is a veterinary manual published by the British Small Animal Veterinary Association that guides care from the initial decision to intervene through post-release monitoring. The volume emphasizes patient well-being while accounting for broader environmental effects.

The manual combines general clinical principles with dedicated guidance for wild mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians found in the United Kingdom. Key topics include triage, emergency first aid, anaesthesia, captive care, and relevant British wildlife law.

For the 2016 edition, expanded coverage introduced new chapters on capture and transportation, hand-rearing young wild animals, and wildlife crime investigation. Specialist organization directories appear across chapters and in an appendix.
