OFF-SITE TREATMENT FOR INJURED ANIMALS
While our team of veterinarians are constantly monitoring the health of our resident elephants, leopards and Sloth bears across Wildlife SOS centres, sometimes they have to leave their home turf to attend to animal emergencies.
Our teams carry mobile equipment to administer treatment to animals left injured by a vehicular accident, a poacher’s snare, or from situations of human-wildlife conflict. Often, the vets are required to travel to other states as well, to provide urgent medical aid to animals at treatment facilities located there. | READ MORE
TREATING DENTAL INJURIES IN SLOTH BEARS
‘Dancing’ bears were victims of painful trauma. Many suffer from broken teeth that were smashed at a young age to reduce the risk to its owner. Severe dental infections followed because exposed roots, rotting teeth and mouth ulcerations were all left untreated.

SONAM SAMBHARYA
An Account Officer with Wildlife SOS for the past 8 years, Sonam’s heart is in her work: “It gives you satisfaction to know that your work makes a difference and helps animals in need. You don’t get that kind of satisfaction while working in a corporate job.”
SLOTH BEAR SEIZED FROM SMUGGLERS
Keeping India free of ‘dancing’ bears takes diligence. Thankfully, the West Bengal Forest Department quickly dispatched a team of officers to seize a bear from illegal custody. The bear, whom we have lovingly named Baloo, will be under the long-term care of Wildlife SOS.
