Description

Pet ownership of African Pygmy hedgehogs is increasing and therefore there is a greater need for veterinary professionals to have a good knowledge of the common problems seen in this species. In addition, recently there have been several newly emerging conditions reported in pet hedgehogs, which veterinary surgeons need to be aware of when treating these animals as pets. This webinar will revise the common problems of pet hedgehogs, with an emphasis on these recently emerging diseases. Presenting clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment and control measures will all be discussed in relation to acariasis, salmonellosis and central nervous system neoplasms. This webinar will be useful for those veterinary personnel treating hedgehogs in practice, whether routinely or as the occasional case.
