Blue Ridge Wildlife Center is a full-service wildlife-exclusive teaching hospital. As soon as a wild animal is admitted, our veterinary team performs an intake exam and provides emergency care as needed before creating that patient’s treatment plan.  We perform diagnostics, such as blood work and radiographs, on-site and perform over 130 surgeries per year in our fully-equipped surgical suite. These surgeries are diverse in terms of injuries and species treated, but the bulk of our procedures are fracture and laceration repairs.  Our veterinary team works side by side with our rehabilitation team to perform necessary anesthetic procedures such as physical therapy and bandage changes as well as rechecks on specific patients.
