Dear Vets
EDITOR’s NOTE
This is a busy time of year for wildlife vets, but I hope you will find the time to read this issue.
In addition, dear Colleagues, I once again make a plea for you all to contribute veterinary
wildlife articles, interesting wildlife case reports or even photos of interesting lesions, to our
bi-monthly Wildlife Group Review. If we want this electronic version of Hoo Hoo to survive, we
need more inputs from Wildlife Group members. We will pay for these contributions at a rate of
R500 per page.
Please send your contribution to [email protected].
Many thanks,
Roy Bengis (Editor)
