    Default Show me your books !

    Okay so with very little to no luck I am unable to find a rehabber near me so I can volunteer and learn , I have contacted Massachusetts Mass wildlife and they emailed me back with links to study guides which I have downloaded, but it is suggested I read other books .
    Are there any rehabbers in Massachusetts here and can you suggest any books and study guides I should get ?

    them pretty fast too. They have a notification list you can get on to
    know when she gets more back in.

    My brother-in-law works for US Fish and Wildlife in western MA. I will reach out to him and see if he knows of any rehabbers you could contact.

    Oh nonononononoo, never! Never should it be more than $100! Someone is trying to make a killing while the book is temporarily unavailable.

    If you go to Chris’s Squirrels and More website she has it listed for $60 and you can put your name on a wishlist there as well.

    They do change stuff in each edition...it’s usually dosing recommendation or some other small changes. I’ve only got the 3rd edition but I know others on here have the 1st or 2nd edition, so it’ll be interesting to hear what they have to say.

    Here's a thread that may help.

    Likely the same greedy azz type that were hoarding toilet paper and asking $10.00 a roll.

    I agree with step. If she has one left, get it.
    Who knows how much the 4th edition will be.
    The meds have changed a little, but you can
    still go with Edition 3. Most people will still be
    using whichever edition they have. If you need help with dosing, we
    will help you.
