Supporting Emergency Vet Care

The emergency events over the last spring and summer were some of the worst ever experienced. Many vets were inundated with animals needing emergency care including the Avian, Reptile and Exotic Pet Hospital in Camden (AREPH).
WIRES is fortunate to work with many exceptional vets to rehabilitate wildlife on an ongoing basis with AREPH being one of the clinics WIRES works most extensively with in NSW. To assist with the overwhelming emergency response in January WIRES helped fund emergency care for wildlife at AREPH, where 179 native animals were treated over 12 weeks.

WIRES are incredibly appreciative of the exceptional work that many wildlife vets and wildlife hospitals like AREPH contribute to help wildlife daily as well as during major emergency events.
The increased collaboration between organisations is excellent for wildlife and we are continuing to collaborate on future plans to improve emergency response.
