About this ebook

NEW! Priced with sensitivity to the level of altruism shown by those who rescue and help sick or injured wild creatures, this eBook covers the major conditions one is likely to encounter. Whether it is a fledgling bird fallen from a nest, a swift or pigeon exhausted from flight, an animal injured at the roadside, a victim of a bungled shooting or any other emergency situation, this eBook should provide the 'good Samaritan' with the medical know-how to make a positive difference and increase the chances of the victim's survival. Christopher Day has 43 years of experience in veterinary practice and his childhood also encompassed such wildlife rescue work.

    I dedicate this eBook to all those magical animals who have contributed to my learning, down the years. I humbly recall the privilege of meeting and serving a great many noble animals and dedicated people who care very deeply for their animal companions and for wildlife.

    About the Author

    Christopher Day qualified from Cambridge University and Veterinary School in 1972. He is Principal of The Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre, in Oxfordshire - website: www.alternativevet.org.

    Introduced to homeopathy at about the age of ten or eleven, he used this type of medicine on himself through school and college, for all the usual colds, flu, rugby injuries etc., to great effect. He started using it on some of his patients from the outset of his veterinary career. His use of homeopathy increased rapidly, taking up an increasing proportion of his practice time. His interest in natural medicine led him to take up acupuncture, having studied abroad, and he now uses these two medical systems, in conjunction with other ‘alternatives’, including chiropractic manipulation, herbs, tissue salts, flower essences, aromatherapy etc., in his holistic medicine practice. In 1987, he founded the Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre (AVMC), the first dedicated holistic practice in the UK. Healthy nutrition is a mainstay of all his daily holistic work, in which he discusses a species-suitable fresh diet for each and every patient.

    He is Veterinary Dean to the Faculty of Homeopathy. He was, for more than twenty-five years, Honorary Secretary of the British Association of Homeopathic Veterinary Surgeons, of which he was a founder-member. He is now Vice-President of that Association. He has served two terms as President of the International Association for Veterinary Homeopathy, of which he was also a founder-member. He is actively involved in clinical research and treats all species with natural medicine. He has written several books and eBooks on homeopathy, herbs and natural medicine. He lectures around the UK on many aspects of natural medicine and holistic medicine to a wide variety of audiences and teaches vets on post-graduate courses both in the UK and around the world.

    Preface

    This eBook has been written as a result of demand to try to compensate for the dearth of homeopathic information for wildlife. It is hoped that it will fulfil its intended role as a useable and understandable work, to the health and welfare benefit of the UK’s wildlife population, when individuals fall into difficulties and require medical help. This safe, gentle and effective therapy suits all species and none should be denied its great benefits.

    The most common reasons for medical interventions in wildlife are accidents, shock and poisoning. This eBook therefore concentrates on those aspects of first-aid care.

    Over the years, it has been the usual practice of the AVMC not to make a charge for the treatment and rehabilitation of wild animals. However, there is
