General Overview

This program is designed specifically for veterinarians wishing to gain advanced experience in exotic pet medicine and to deepen further expertise in the practical management of patients (reptiles, birds and small mammal).

In this course participants will learn and discuss clinical parasitology, haematology, plasma chemistry of chelonians, lizards and snakes, birds and small mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, ferrets) and methods of clinical parasitology, haematology and cytology in clinical practice.

The successful management of difficult to treat problems will be discussed.

Wet labs will provide practical approaches.
