Wildlife Emergency
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) focus on rescue, stabilization, and treatment, guided by the six stages of the Star of Life: Detection, Reporting, Response, On-Scene Care, Transit, and Transfer to Definitive Care.
Begins when the public identifies an animal in distress.
Detection
People seek help for the animal, often providing photos/videos for better identification.
Reporting
Determine if the animal needs rescuing, often through phone calls and visual assessment.
Response
First responders capture the animal using proper techniques and address immediate medical needs (e.g., stopping bleeding, stabilizing fractures).
On-Scene Care
Monitor and secure the animal during transportation, ensuring it remains safe and stable.
Care-In Transit
If necessary, transport the animal to a veterinary clinic for further treatment.
Transfer to Definitive Care
