"You really want to get them out of there as soon as possible. Two hours or two days. You just want to get an animal up to normal psychological status."

"Say an animal is cold or dehydrated or in shock, you can put them in the incubator," he said. "It's just like they do with babies.
WILDCAR workers keep 25 to 30 animals at Sunflower Farm, between
"We do not let people take an animal home until we know he is raising it to be released to the wild and is not raising it as a pet," she said.
"A lot of the student volunteers go home in the summer, and that's when we need them the most," she said. "The ideal people you can call in the middle of the night and they're ready to help."
Schwartz said that her goal was to develop a network of skilled volunteers who could take animals home and deal with them on their own.
Rob Gillette, Care Unit program associate, said that the Care Unit equipment was open for training range ranges from surgery rooms to animal incubators.
Albright said that many animals needed feeding several times a day. A nestling song bird, she said, must be fed 48 times a day.
Wildcare
Schwartz said that more volunteers applied than she could use but that most of the prospective volunteers were unreliable. They do not realize the amount of work that will be demanded of them, she said.
be dominated by the fact, "We're talking about animals that need constant feeding, heat, et cetera." Schwartzing said.

the towns of Eudora and DeSoto. At the farm, animals are often kept in covered dog pens where they are prepared for release into the wild.
The program needs to expand, she said. More volunteers are necessary.
To maintain the organization's purpose of helping other animals to get better, Schwarting and Kennedy decided to use December as a fundraising month. About $20,000 needs to be raised, Schwarting said.
Most animals, however, are kept in the Care Unit. Many of them are not as badly hurt as the bald eagle. For some, there is hope.
"You know, actually, I think he's getting better. . ."
Schwarting watched the bird try to scurry across the lab floor.
"It's really frustrating. If it is a toxin, there probably is nothing we can do."
"We need people who are reliable," Schwarting said. "They have to have a bit of common sense, because when a wild animal starts to go downhill, it goes downill very quick."
"We're doing blood work to see if there's something we can do," Schwarting said. "It could be a toxin, a pesticide. It gets in the blood stream and slowly destroys the nervous system.
"You need to get him some knee-peads." Albright said, nodding.
One of the birds in Schwarting's care, a Cooper's Hawk, cannot move its feet. The cause of the paralysis is still unknown.
"His feet are just in little wads there," she said.
When he was in college his idea of the ultimate driving machine was a '57 Chevy
they spend the time they save having fun. Then I told him that I'll never get a better bargain than while I'm a KU student. His eyes lit up.
He liked hearing that getting a great deal isn't a thing of the past.
Sometimes, it seems like my dad is more interested in looking back than ahead. But since he encouraged me to go to college, I felt I owed it to him to discuss getting a Macintosh.
I told him that I could do more schoolwork in less time with better results. You can do better term papers, pie charts, bar graphs, and graphics faster. Without struggling with a confusing manual. My friends say the Macintosh is actually fun to use. Probably because they spend the time they save having fun.
