Menagerie and Medicine
Dead wild animals, sick pets, ailing farm animals - specialists at the Bern Animal Hospital treat cows and horses, pigs and sheep, cats and dogs and many other small and large animals that are kept near people and for their benefit. The Department of Wildlife Medicine is small, but it is the one that regularly attracts attention, as wolves, lynxes and their prey are the main attractions here.
