The authors express great appreciation and thanks to the many rehabilitators, veterinarians, nutritionists, biologists, and others who contributed information, test results, and much more to this research. It has truly been a collaborative effort of the rehabilitation community.

Allan and Shirley Casey, co-founders of WildAgain Wildlife Rehabilitation, Inc. in Evergreen, Colorado, have been licensed rehabilitators since 1986. The Casey’s conduct research on a variety of rehabilitation related subjects. They have written over 100 articles for rehabilitation and veterinary publications, as well as the Squirrel Rehabilitation Handbook. They have presented over 80 sessions on wildlife rehabilitation topics at state, regional and national conferences, as well as over 25 multiple day seminars. They provide a variety of tools and resources for wildlife rehabilitators and people interested in rehabilitation topics at www.ewildagain.org

The Caseys conducted this research for several reasons. They, like fellow wildlife rehabilitators, want to help return wild animals to the wild and prevent or reduce problems that could occur during rehabilitation. They have experience conducting and publishing research, including on wildlife nutrition and health. The Caseys have used and recommended PetAg milk replacers to other rehabilitators around the country for 20+ years. They wanted to understand the reasons some rehabilitators saw great results when using formula made with the Esbilac® powder and others reported serious problems, and what might be done to achieve better results and prevent problems. While they have communicated with PetAg on this issue, the Caseys have no affiliation with PetAg or any other milk replacer manufacturer.

Jean Fedchak has been a wildlife rehabilitator in San Diego, CA since 1999 and supervised the small mammal team for Project Wildlife. She has a B.S. in Nutrition/Food Science from San Diego State University and a B.A. in Biology from St. Louis University.

She was the wildlife veterinarian at the Cape Wildlife Center in MA for 18 months. She is a veterinarian in Highlands Ranch, Colorado and works with small animals and wildlife.

Teri Muzik has been a wildlife rehabilitator with Wildlife Care in Sacramento, CA since 1999. She provides rehabilitation training and served as the squirrel rehab team leader for many years. Teri has been a key resource in collecting and sharing information – and participating in the confirmations and analysis.

Karen E. Smith, PhD, at the Wisconsin Center for Dairy Research at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, specializes in dairy process development, concentration and drying, evaporators, dryers, and ultrafiltration. She provides training, consulting, and trouble-shooting on dairy processes and products.
