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.

Emergency Medicine in Rabbits

Emergency and critical care of rabbits is a new concept and an exciting challenge. At presentation, prey species like rabbits may disguise obvious clinical signs making triage more complicated. However most emergency and critical care techniques used in other companion animals can be applied, and familiarity with common rabbit presentations can improve the management of these pets. Ileus, dyspnoea and seizure are examples of possible conditions that, with the right approach, can be treated successfully. Anorexia is also a very common emergency that should be treated within 24-48 hours from presentation. However, anorexia is a clinical sign and not a disease, and the cause should be thoroughly investigated and treated. This webinar will describe the emergency equipment advised for the rabbit patient and some of the most common emergency presentations and their treatments.
