Your Support Matters

Costs range from $50 for the basic care of a turtle to more than $3,000 to rehabilitate a bald eagle. The biggest expense is food. LSU Wildlife Hospital spends $18,000 per year on food for wildlife patients. Your contribution makes a direct impact on these lives.

We invite you to join our campaign to raise $10,000 in the next 21 days for wildlife treated at the LSU Wildlife Hospital of Louisiana.

Funds raised in this campaign will help ensure that every wildlife patient brought to our hospital receives the very best care. Your contribution helps pay for food, housing, veterinary procedures and treatments. Please feel free to share with friends and family who might wish to help support sick or injured wildlife.

Mallard Duckling Treated at LSU Vet Med

Baton Rouge resident Charlotte Ryland was on a nightly bike ride around the lakes near LSU in June when she spotted a tiny head bobbing in and out of the water. A mallard duckling tangled in fishing wire struggled to get free and join her mother and sibling waiting on shore. Charlotte and family extended a long pole to pull the duckling to shore, cut the wire to free her, and rushed her to LSU Wildlife Hospital.
