Fluid therapy plays a critical role in the recovery of injured and orphaned wildlife, but it also requires a deeper level of understanding to apply safely and effectively.
This manual, developed by Suzy Nethercott Watson, offers a more comprehensive exploration of fluid hydration in wildlife care. It is intended to build on foundational knowledge, supporting rehabilitators to deepen their understanding of hydration principles, fluid types, delivery methods, and clinical considerations under appropriate guidance.
Designed as a companion resource for those who have attended a WNT fluid therapy workshop, this manual supports the continued development of practical skills and confidence, helping carers apply what they have learned in a safe and considered way, and always within their scope and in consultation with a veterinarian where needed.
