Approaches to Rabbit Gastrointestinal Stasis Syndrome

Join Sam Clutterbuck as she discusses effective manual and chemical restraint techniques for reptiles.

Birds’ urogenital organs reflect their ‘flying dinosaur’ ancestry with reptilian features (such as egg laying and urecotelic waste disposal) being adapted to ‘lighten the load’ and facilitate flight. Understanding such unique features helps to make sense of urogenital disease in avian patients and aids diagnosis and treatment of everyday clinic issues such as egg binding, abnormal egg formation, egg yolk related peritonitis, cloacal disorders, urolithiasis and gout.

This webinar will cover the basics of nursing rabbits, ferrets and guinea pigs. This will include husbandry, diet, safe handling skills and tips for clinical examination and hospitalisation.
