What is the purpose of providing proper nutrition during rehabilitation?

To improve the animal's loyalty
To support tissue regeneration and healing
To prepare the animal for captivity
To increase the animal's size

The correct answer is: To support tissue regeneration and healing

Providing proper nutrition during rehabilitation is crucial for supporting tissue regeneration and healing. When an injured or ill animal is in recovery, its body requires specific nutrients to repair damaged tissues, boost immune function, and restore overall health. Adequate nutrition helps facilitate the healing process by supplying essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and energy needed for recovery. Improper nutrition can lead to further health complications, delayed healing, and may ultimately compromise the animal's chances of returning to the wild or achieving a good quality of life. Each species has unique dietary requirements, and understanding these needs is vital for wildlife rehabilitators to ensure that animals receive the appropriate diet tailored to their specific nutritional needs. Among the other options, improving loyalty is not a focus in rehabilitation, preparing for captivity is relevant only in certain contexts and does not address healing, and increasing size does not equate to the healing process, which emphasizes restoring health rather than merely growing larger.
