Abstract
Between 7 June and 14 June 2007, I trained the veterinary staff of Kabul Zoo to capture, handle, anesthetize, and clinically examine their captive wild animals. We captured most of the birds detained at the zoo and vaccinated them against Newcastle Disease. All species were handled except vultures and exotic species. We also anesthetized and vaccinated bears, wolves, lions, red foxes and Pallas’s cats against rabies. The veterinary staff at the zoo took an active part in the chemical immobilization of the Pallas’s cats, the Asiatic black bears (the rarest species in the zoo), and two of the wolves. The 4 (4.0) Asiatic black bears were identified with microchip transponders and blood-sampled for gene-banking.
