Description
Small mammals- gerbils, hamsters, mice, degus and rats are often presented. While being much loved by owners they are often presented as older animals and often with a strict financial budget. As such it is often felt there is little we can do. However, with communication, additional testing may be possible as part of a pragmatic approach relying mainly on clinical signs, history and knowledge of likely differentials. Another barrier to investigating and treating these patients is a worry around anaesthetic issues. Improved anaesthetic techniques and better patient support can greatly improve anaesthetic success thus opening up more diagnostic treatment options. This webinar will look at improving diagnostic and treatment success in these species.
