Etorphine revolutionised the landscape of wildlife veterinary medicine, emerging in the late 1960s as one of the pioneering potent opioids for effectively and safely immobilising large free-ranging herbivores. Today, it continues to stand as a preferred anaesthetic for free-ranging wildlife animals. Reflecting on the early investigations into etorphine, it's astounding to consider its origins in laboratory rodent testing and how it has evolved to become the primary choice for managing species such as rhinos and elephants.

Every wild life counts. This mantra guides our veterinary initiative, and the teams who live and breathe it on a daily basis. For animals that have been caught up in snares, every second counts too: these lethal traps can cause injury, infection or worse. (Even those that break free from a snare’s anchor point aren’t spared as trailing wire can get caught on foliage, exacerbating injuries). A wire snare wrapped tight around the neck, this giraffe in Tsavo needed a rapid response. Following a call from the team at Wildlife Works, a KWS vet had taken to the skies to dart the patient from the air. A giraffe's anatomy makes any treatment a challenge. As soon as the giraffe began to show signs of sedation, ground teams moved in and roped his legs so they could safely lower him to a recumbent position. Once down, they secured his head for treatment. The giraffe had a cable snare around his neck which fortunately, had not yet cut into the skin. This treatment unfolded last week. Because of eagle-eyed rangers and a speedy response, the snare was removed and he was soon back up on his feet! Teamwork, professionalism, expertise and – critically - donations make lifesaving operations like this possible.

Ongoing effects of second generation (SG) rodenticides (rat baits) - Anyone that has worked in a Veterinary Emergency clinic or in small animal practice recognises the dogs that are brought in collapsed or coughing or urinating blood. Dogs and other wild life such as possums that have accessed rat bait around the house or garden OR have found rodents that have died from SG rodenticides and had a snack will be affected. All birds that eat small mammals such as rodents - think of owls, eagles, Frogmouths and snakes such as Coastal Carpet Pythons - will also succumb from the effects of these SG rodenticides. These poisons are regulated for the general public in Europe, Canada and the USA. What can you do to help our wildlife and our pets? - Consider if you need SG Rodenticides in your roof space or home, - Sign the petition to support birdlife Australia (see comments for the link) to stop the sale of SG Rodenticides in hardware stores. Who knows - maybe you will save a life.
