Raptor therapeutics.
Developing a therapeutic plan for raptors can be challenging because the veterinarian must take numerous and sometimes conflicting factors into consideration. Successful therapy depends on proper management of the raptor patient, beginning with its initial presentation and continuing throughout its time in captivity. Important considerations concerning medicine and natural history peculiar to raptors are addressed. Guidelines for constructing an effective therapeutic plan for the treatment of common diseases and conditions seen in wild raptors are presented.
