VETS WHO WORK WITH SECRET WORLD

We believe that every living creature deserves to be given the best possible chance of survival. There are lots of considerations when dealing with injured wildlife, stress and long term viability being the main factors, but if veterinary attention will make the difference, then treatment is given, regardless of the expense.

Here at Secret World, we are very lucky to work with vets that not only take an interest in dealing with all manner of wild creatures that we ask them to look at for us, but also, we rely very heavily on their generosity. Quantock veterinary hospital charge us only for drugs and x-rays, not for their very valuable time.

The expertise of the vets we work with results in a high standard of care for the animals we rehabilitate that we are very proud of.
There are so many moving stories that we could tell you about to illustrate this, but we don't have the space for them all! Instead, the most recent examples are real representations of everyday cases handled by our vets.

Many badgers are injured on the roads each year, particularly in the spring. Badgers use territorial paths which have now been used for new road systems resulting in more and more badgers being killed on the roads.
More and more hedgehogs are being injured by garden tools in particular strimmers
