Emergency Presentations in Exotic Pets
(inkl. USt.)
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.
