8 - 12 April 2024 | Shanghai, China
The ESAVS Exotic Pets Medicine and Surgery courses cover the core of the exotic pet medicine and surgery curriculum over a three year period, with particular emphasis on the diagnosis and treatment of captive reptiles, birds and small mammals from an advanced care perspective.
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).
This course gives an overview of advanced methods of anaesthesia and analgesia in reptiles, birds and small mammals, and advanced surgical procedures in exotic pet patients. The participant will learn how to deal with orthopaedics and soft tissue surgery (ovariectomy, salpingotomy, salpingectomy, enterotomy, and spaying methods). Further subject covered in this course is exotic pet endoscopy.
The successful management of difficult-to-treat problems will be discussed. Wet labs will provide practical approaches.
This course covers the introduction to clinical anatomy of reptiles, birds and small mammals. It is focused on advanced radiographic and ultrasonographic assessments of reptiles, small mammals and birds. It also focuses on the importance of clinical cardiology in exotic pet patients. Reptile, avian and small mammalian radiography, ultrasonography and cardiology are clinically very important subjects and are covered in the practicals.
All modules will be held in China, in English language with consecutive translation in Chinese.
