Veterinary care:
- We have a dedicated team of veterinarians to provide veterinary to injured snakes.
- We facilitate treatment, post-operative care for injured snakes in association with College of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry, OUAT, Bhubaneswar.
- We have also dedicated team of volunteers to assist the able veterinarians of OUAT.
We have presented some of our case studies to highlight the well-being of the snakes.
The detailed case by case reports will be elaborated in our “Blogs” gradually in future.
NB:
✓ Only experienced veterinarians should undertake treatment of snakes.
✓ Presence of a local forest staff is a must during the treatment.
✓ No private person can be the owner of Indian snakes.
