Greg Simpson, [05 May 2023 at 20:32:59]: Good evening. Has anyone got experience in treating confiscated pangolins? Peter Rogers, [05 May 2023 at 20:36:34]: If near Johannesburg, Karen Lourens at Johannesburg Wildlife Hospital Emergency treatment must be provided as soon as possible, and is usually life-saving. They have often been in captivity for at least a few days, and are very dehydrated, often with pneumonia. They don’t eat in captivity - can take months of rehabilitation. Don’t keep longer than you have to.
