Wildlife Veterinarians. The Wildlife Veterinarians report to their respective Recovery and Rehabilitation Group Supervisors (birds and mammals) and are responsible for ensuring that impacted animals receive appropriate medical treatment. It is important to retain the services of a wildlife veterinarian who is experienced with the species that are impacted. During large spills in which high numbers of both birds and mammals are impacted, the service of more than one wildlife veterinarian may be warranted. Additionally, oiled wildlife care is a specialized field; thus, veterinarians who have experience with oiled wildlife are preferred. The Wildlife Veterinarians work with the Branch Director and trustee agencies to develop euthanasia protocols appropriate for each spill incident.
