Veterinary Care of Exotic Pets 2.0

The app is tailored for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and veterinary students across the globe.

While dog and cat medicine is a fundamental part of veterinary education, there is a notable deficiency in the training related to exotic animal medicine. This gap is particularly pronounced given the frequent presentations of rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, tortoises, and various birds at veterinary practices.

Many veterinarians find themselves without adequate training to care for these species. Although some information can be sourced from relevant literature, access to these texts may be limited and challenging in busy clinical environments.

Veterinary Care of Exotic Pets aims to bridge this educational gap by providing essential biological data on commonly presented exotic species. The app includes:

• Biological information on frequently encountered exotic animals, answering common queries such as the gestation period of rabbits, reproductive maturity in guinea pigs, and normal temperature ranges for chinchillas.
• A comprehensive list of common ailments associated with these species.
• A catalogue of commonly used medications along with their appropriate dosages.
• A gallery featuring examples of prevalent conditions and relevant radiographic data.
• Video tutorials demonstrating blood sampling techniques for each species.

This consolidated information enables veterinarians to swiftly access critical data, understand prevalent diseases in exotic animals, and implement appropriate treatment protocols, including blood sampling techniques.

Overall, this application represents a valuable mobile resource for veterinary professionals and students. Its capacity for ongoing updates ensures that it remains a current and relevant tool for enhancing exotic animal care in clinical practice.
