How often should a newly rehabilitated animal be monitored?

Daily
Biweekly
Weekly
Monthly

The correct answer is: Daily

Monitoring a newly rehabilitated animal daily is essential to ensure its health and well-being during the adjustment period. After rehabilitation, animals might experience stress from being in a new environment or could face challenges as they reacclimate to the wild. Daily monitoring allows caregivers to observe any changes in behavior, appetite, and overall condition, which is critical for identifying potential health issues early. Frequent checks enable rehabilitation staff to provide prompt medical care if needed and make informed decisions about the animal’s readiness for release. This close observation helps ensure that the animal has adjusted physically and mentally to its environment, effectively reducing the chances of failure upon release. Other monitoring schedules, such as biweekly, weekly, or monthly, would not provide the necessary oversight for such vulnerable animals during this crucial transitional phase.
