Reducing Risk - The Importance of Consistent Monitoring in Small Mammals (for veterinary nurses)

As the popularity of rabbits and guinea pigs as family pets increases in Australia the number of these animals seen for routine procedures in general practice is also increasing. Historically surgery in small mammals has been considered high risk due to their small size and unpredictability under anaesthetic. Consistent monitoring of the patient before, during and after their procedure has been found to greatly reduce the risk of complications involved, making surgery less dangerous for our patients and less stressful for our veterinary teams. Nurses are the most important people in this process, providing care and identifying potential risk factors before they become problems. In this webinar we hope to provide some information on monitoring techniques easily undertaken in general practice, which will make everyone more comfortable with rabbits and guinea pigs as anaesthetic patients. We hope that this in turn will improve welfare for these patients by giving them the opportunity to be treated as safely as dogs and cats.
