野生动物康复被定义为"受伤、患病和流离失所的土著动物的治疗和临时护理，以及随后将健康动物释放到野外适当的栖息地"（米勒，2012年）。兽医经常遇到野生动物的伤亡，尽管有一些文本可以帮助兽医治疗野生动物，如BSAVA野生动物伤亡手册（Mullineaux等人，2003年）和经验丰富的野生动物兽医撰写的论文（例如，Bexton和Couper 2010，Couper和Bexton 2012），仍然存在关于哪些个体动物可以或应该接受治疗的问题，哪些动物将在治疗后存活，哪些动物将在被释放回野外后存活。RSPCA认为，可以通过调查哪些伤害或疾病最有可能导致每个物种的成功释放，以及收集有关释放后生存率的数据来改善野生动物伤亡的福利。因此，已经有一些论文发表的基础上的工作，皇家防止虐待动物协会的四个野生动物中心：东温奇在诺福克，马利达姆伍德在东萨塞克斯，斯塔佩利田庄在柴郡和西哈奇在萨默塞特。本文总结了这项研究，以指导那些在这个问题上有兴趣的专业论文，可能证明对他们有用。
Wildlife rehabilitation is defined as 'the treatment and temporary care of injured, diseased, and displaced indigenous animals, and the subsequent release of healthy animals to appropriate habitats in the wild' (Miller 2012). Vets are frequently presented with wildlife casualties and although there are a number of texts available to help vets with the treatment of wild animals, such as the BSAVA Manual of Wildlife Casualties (Mullineaux and others 2003) and papers produced by experienced wildlife vets (eg, Bexton and Couper 2010, Couper and Bexton 2012), there still remains questions regarding which individual animals can, or should, be treated, which animals will survive treatment and which animals will survive after they have been released back to the wild. The RSPCA believes that the welfare of wildlife casualties can be improved by investigating which injuries or illnesses are most likely to result in a successful release for each species, and by collecting data on postrelease survivorship. As a result, there have been a number of papers published based on the work of the RSPCA's four wildlife centres: East Winch in Norfolk, Mallydams Wood in East Sussex, Stapeley Grange in Cheshire and West Hatch in Somerset. This paper summarises this research, to guide those in the profession with an interest in this subject to papers that may prove useful to them.
