Critical care and management of wild sentient is an emerging field in wildlife management. Wild animal patients may be presented in a variety of situations requiring emergent interventions. Absence of information on physiology, pathology, anatomy etc. is a major constraint in efficient and successful management. The present paper discusses the steps that need to be followed in critical care of such patients and identifies critical factors that can assist in managing these emergency situations.
