The Unit attended to 7 wildlife cases during the month of August. Of these cases, 5 involved removing snares from animals and 1 for human-wildlife conflict as a giraffe had its leg stuck in a paint tin.
The last case was due to natural causes as a hartebeest had been wounded by predators. All the cases but one were given a good prognosis, unfortunately the injured hartebeest was given a guarded prognosis. The Rift Valley Mobile Veterinary Unit visited the following areas; KWS Naivasha Station, Aquilla farm, Marula Estates – Gema area, Kedong ranch, Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge, Loldia Wildlife Conservancy, Kedong ranch impala, Mundui Estates, Soysambu Conservancy among others during the month.
