A juvenile male kestrel was found near our hospital yesterday. We were able to get him to a local wildlife rehab where he’ll be taken care of and released back to his neighborhood. #wildlife #wildliferehab #vetmed #raptorsofinstagram #kestrel @thrivevet https://ift.tt/2xD8reJ

Madagascar plague fight is stepped up

A million doses of antibiotics are delivered as authorities deal with a growing plague outbreak.

The island has been battling the disease since it arrived there on steamboats from India in 1898. (The disease still appears in many countries around the world, including the US, but most epidemics occur in African countries.) Madagascar got a handle on its seasonal outbreaks during the 1950s with the help of antibiotics, insecticides, and better hygiene campaigns. But it lost its grip in the 1990s when it started seeing increases in case counts. In recent years, the country has tallied between 275 and 675 cases annually. The plague is spread by infected fleas carried on rats.

When it's raining on the roads, slops of road dust and contaminants drain into the road trenches. What does it do to wildlife living by the road?

Stephen King’s beak was damaged by a fishhook. Steve King the Turtle that is. New techniques get to be developed for exotic animals since there are not a lot of defined procedures for them. This is an example of ingenuity.
