Emergency Presentations in Exotic Pets

Emergency Presentations in Exotic Pets
Emergency Presentations in Exotic Pets
Exotic patients are masters at disguising their illnesses, so by the time they arrive at the clinic they are often in need of emergency care. In this webinar we will cover some of the common presentations of avian, exotic mammal and reptile patients, and what to do when they are in need of urgent veterinary intervention. By understanding analgesia, fluids, warmth and oxygen for these cases we can greatly improve animal welfare and patient outcomes in all veterinary settings.

How to safely anesthetise a rabbit

The Confidential Enquiry into Perioperative Small Animal Fatalities (Brodbelt 2008) has shown how general anaesthesia in rabbits carries a higher risk of mortality compared to cats and dogs. The morbidity rate was determined as 1 in 72. This alarming finding may be explained by peculiar anatomic, physiologic and behavioral characteristics of rabbits, but also by the relative lack of familiarity and experience of veterinary surgeons when dealing with this species. This webinar highlights the most common complications during the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative period in pet rabbits. The approach to rabbit anaesthesia should aim to improve safety when treating these patients. Simple things such as appropriate housing, minimal stress when handling, preoxygenation before anaesthesia induction, intravenous access, choice of the correct equipment, of appropriate drugs and provision of adequate analgesia can make a huge difference in the patient care provided.
