【🌎世界狐猴日】
首次的「世界狐猴日」於2014年由創辦人Jonah Ratsimmbazafy在馬達加斯加舉辦。
大約 2000 年前，人類遷移到島上，導致狐猴的生存範圍被限制在大約 10% 的土地上。 98% 的狐猴物種面臨滅絕威脅，31% 極度瀕危。🥹

牠們的名字源自拉丁語“lemures”，意思是“幽靈”或“鬼魂”。現在，幾種狐猴已面臨極度瀕臨滅絕⚠️。它們受到無數環境問題、狩獵、氣候變遷和外來寵物貿易的威脅。牠們的生存資源正在耗盡，這主要是由於棲息地的破壞和退化。😭

【🌎World Lemur Day】
The holiday was first observed in 2014, when it was founded by Jonah Ratsimmbazafy in Antananarivo, Madagascar. The migrations of humans onto the island about 2,000 years ago led to lemurs being restricted to around 10% of the land. 98% of lemur species are threatened with extinction and 31% critically endangered.🥹

Their name is derived from the Latin “lemures”, meaning “specters” or “ghosts”. Today, several species of lemurs are critically endangered⚠️. They are threatened by a myriad of environmental issues, hunting, climate change, and the exotic pet trade. They are running out of resources for survival, largely due to habitat destruction and degradation.😭

【拔牙好可怕 ?! 🦷⚡️⚡️】

獸醫牙科需要進階培訓才能正確進行牙科治療，是一項需要長時期訓練出來的技巧💉。由於不同品種之間存在差異，牙科治療需要獨特的技能是可以理解的。這裡，Dr Erika正為一隻狗進行拔牙手術，同時傳授技巧給其他獸醫，並有效利用牙科機器和設備。

🩺對特定牙齒拔除執行正確的方法是必需的。因為所有牙齒都有不同的牙根結構，需要特定的技術才能確保完全拔除。在拔牙後製作牙齦瓣以幫助口腔癒合。

【🌏世界㺢㹢狓日】
🤔什麼是㺢㹢狓？可以想像斑馬和長頸鹿混在一起。㺢㹢狓原生於中非剛果民主共和國的茂密雨林物種。牠們是獨居的草食動物，因其引人注目的外觀而被親切地稱為「非洲獨角獸」🦄。㺢㹢狓被列為瀕危物種，主要原因是棲息地遭到破壞（出於農業目的而焚燒森林植物）、非法金礦開採和偷獵。

「世界㺢㹢狓日」旨在提高人們對保護森林生態🪵🌴🦓系統必要性的認識，因為棲息地的喪失與野生動物的滅絕直接相關。確實，當棲息地被破壞時，它就無法提供動物的基本需求，包括住所、食物和水！🌳如果您熱衷於野生動物保育並有興趣慶祝「世界㺢㹢狓日」，可以透過多種方式參與其中。包括了解㺢㹢狓、支持保育組織、參與活動，以及傳播訊息。🫶

【🌎World Okapi Day】
🤔What is an Okapi? Imagine a zebra mixed with a giraffe! The okapi (Okapia johnstoni) is a species native to the dense rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa. They are solitary and herbivores lovingly referred to as the "African unicorn" 🦄due to its striking appearance. Okapis are classified as endangered, primarily due to habitat destruction (burning forests plants for agriculture purposes), Illegal gold mining and poaching.

World Okapi Day aims to raise awareness on the need to protect forest ecosystems🪵🌴🦓, as loss of habitat is directly linked with wildlife extinction. Indeed, when habitat is destroyed, it can't provide animals' basic needs, including shelter, food and water! 🌳 If you're passionate about wildlife conservation and interested in celebrating World Okapi Day, there are various ways to get involved. Learn about the Okapi, support conservation organizations, participate in events, and spread the word.

In 2024, World Migratory Bird Day is celebrated on two days, 11 May and 12 October, aligning with the cyclic nature of bird migration in different hemispheres.

“Birds play crucial roles in pollination and pest control while migrating.
The reason to create awareness for these amazing phenomenon are mainly to stress the need for proactive conservation measures. This includes reducing the use of pesticides and fertilizers, and where possible, switching to organic farming worldwide. Other measures include maintaining and connecting areas of natural vegetation which provide food and shelter for birds and other species, in agricultural landscapes.” Migratory Bird Day

【龜龜因陰莖脫垂而進行內窺鏡檢查】

你知道嗎？原來龜龜出現陰莖脫垂的情況是相當普遍。
早前Dr Yu Han 診斷出一隻龜龜出現陰莖脫垂，而調查的其中一部分需要用內窺鏡來檢查。Dr Yu Han 在進行內窺鏡檢查時，專科獸醫Dr Vicente 亦在旁指導及協助。
發生這種情況有很多原因，最常見的是牠們在交配期間出現創傷、腫瘤、尿道感染等。
龜龜的陰莖是一個內臟器官，只有在交配時才會暴露出來。當陰莖仍然擠壓時，這意味著它不會自行收縮，我們會視它為「垂脫」。透過內窺鏡檢查，有助我們評估垂脫的可能原因，以確定是否可以解決，或手術切除。儘管這聽起來不真實，但龜龜的陰莖不像狗或貓這樣連繫泌尿道，所以在龜龜身上，它只是一個小的肌肉結構，可以在不影響生活質素的情況下手術切除。

【Rigid endoscopy in a tortoise with pr*****ed p***s】
Did you know? Pr*****ed p***s is a common issue in tortoise.
Previously Dr Yu Han diagnosed a pr*****ed p***s in a tortoise, part of the investigation involves an endoscopy examination. Dr Vicente provides valuable guidance & explanation as Dr Yu Han performs the endoscopy procedure in a fully anesthetized patient. There are several reasons why this could happen, for example, trauma during mating, if they have a tumour or urinary infections.
The p***s of a tortoise is an internal organ that only become exposed with mating. When the p***s remains extruded, meaning it does not contract internally on its own, it is deemed pr*****ed. Internal investigation via endoscopy helps us to assess possible reasons for the prolapse to determine if it can be resolved, or if the p***s should be amputated instead. Even though this sounds quite drastic, the p***s does not contain parts of the urinary tract like in dogs or cats, and it is just a small muscular structure that can be removed without effecting the reptiles quality of life.

在大圍珍禽異獸醫院，我們擁有一支多元化的獸醫團隊，他們不時就病例進行討論，並合作執行醫療程序。目的是讓所有不同品種的動物提供全面的護理及治療方法。

每種動物都有其獨特的特徵，透過醫護人員的共同努力，我們確保每隻動物都能獲得最佳的治療效果。
今個月，我們將為大家分享「幕後」培訓的過程。我們為所有獸醫及醫療團隊感到自豪，並非常幸運地能夠與專科獸醫的指導及協助下工作。

At our hospital, we have a diverse team of veterinarians that regularly collaborate on cases and perform procedures together. We do this predominantly to provide a comprehensive care and treatment approach for our patients in all the different species.
As trained medical professionals, we collaborate to provide an In-house training platform for our veterinarians, technicians, nurses, veterinary assistants and even veterinary students. Each species has unique characteristics and with the combined efforts we ensure the best possible outcome for each patient.
During this month, we will share a sneak peak into “behind the scenes” training that is part of our practice culture. We are proud of all our veterinarians and their teams, and very fortunate to work with and under our specialists’ guidance at Taiwai Small Animal & Exotic Hospital.

【🧑‍⚕️給予獸醫學生學習機會📖】
在大圍珍禽異獸醫院🏩，我們經常有獸醫學生來體驗及學習。不論是患病寵物，或已過身的寵物，我們都珍惜每一個能學習的機會。

「驗屍（屍體解剖）」可以提供有關死亡原因。我們會非常小心處理及尊重屍體，有需要時，我們會採取樣本作進一步調查。驗屍程序完成後，我們會細心地將身體縫合，並遵從主人指示處理遺體。🫡

早前，一位高年級獸醫學生幫一條突然死亡的寵物蛇進行解剖（寵物是屬於我們一位醫護人員的）。在專科醫生Dr Tom 的指導下，學生進行解剖及採取樣本。學生在這次機會下可以學習並縫合遺體。寵物蛇 “Sandy” 不幸離世，在解剖過程中，我們得知它的死亡原因是與腎臟腫瘤有關，獸醫學生在這次的學習亦獲益良多。

【🧑‍⚕️Provide learning opportunities for veterinary students📖】
At Taiwai Small Animal & Exotic Hospital🏩, we often have veterinary students to learn and gain experience. Not only do we learn from existing patients, but we can also learn a lot from a patient that unfortunately passed away.

“Postmortem Examinations” can provide valuable insight as to why a patient passed away. We take great care during the examination and respect the body throughout investigation, and we obtain samples for further testing while doing so. Afterwards, the body is closed back up and only a scar will remain visible, and the clients disposal wishes are followed. 🫡

Previously, one of our senior veterinary students investigated the curious case of one of our nurse’s own snake who died unexpectedly. Under the guidance of our exotic specialist, Dr Tom, she dissected the whole body and collected samples, and she was given the opportunity to gain more surgical exposure by having to suture the body closed again. Even though we are saddened by the loss of “Sandy” the snake, we learned the cause of her death, which was due to a kidney tumour. The owner received closure from the cause of death and the student was able to learn several valuable practical lessons for her future career.

牙痛🦷⚡️⚡️
牙科疾病在小型哺乳類動物中很常見。主人通常會發現寵物有體重下降、進食困難、厭食問題等徵狀。🐇兔子、天竺鼠及龍貓是最常見有牙科疾病的小動物。其中因素包括；遺傳性、飲食或營養不良、創傷、缺乏鈣或維他命D、或感染等等。

口腔檢查是最常見的初步評估，但由於這些動物的頭骨結構及有限度把口張開，所以透過x光影像、電腦掃描及內窺鏡檢查是必須的。在全身麻醉及專業設備下方可進行全面口腔檢查，並能夠安全地把口張開，進行牙科手術程序。全身麻醉下，我們會監察維生指數〽️；心率，呼吸，血壓（因寵物體型而定），含氧量及體溫並確保體溫在手術中維持正常。

It’s a pain in the tooth!🦷⚡️⚡️
Dental disease is a common problem in small mammals. We are often presented with a complaint from the owner that their pet is losing weight, or seems to be eating less or not eating at all. Most commonly we see 🐇rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas for these reasons. Several factors play a role in this; Genetics, incorrect or poor nutrition, trauma, calcium and Vitamin D deficiency, infections etc.

A quick oral examination may first alert your veterinarian to the problem, however due to the anatomy and limited movement to open the mouth of these mammals, skull x-rays, CT scans and endoscopy are required for a complete evaluation of the extension of the problem. A full thorough oral examination can be achieved under anaesthesia using a handheld gag and cheek dilators. It helps to gently open the mouth and keep it open for safely performing the dental work. During the anaesthesia, we monitor the vital functions〽️; heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure (if patient size allows), oxygenation and body temperature to also ensure the patient remains warm during the procedure.

牙痛🦷⚡️⚡️ 牙科疾病在小型哺乳類動物中很常見。主人通常會發現寵物有體重下降、進食困難、厭食問題等徵狀。🐇兔子、天竺鼠及龍貓是最常見有牙科疾病的小動物。其中因素包括；遺傳性、飲食或營養不良、創傷、缺乏鈣或維他命D、或感染等等。口腔檢查是最常見的初步評估，但由於這些動物的頭骨結構及有限度把口張開，所以透過x光影像、電腦掃描及內窺鏡檢查是必須的。在全身麻醉及專業設備下方可進行全面口腔檢查，並能夠安全地把口張開，進行牙科手術程序。全身麻醉下，我們會監察維生指數〽️；心率，呼吸，血壓（因寵物體型而定），含氧量及體溫並確保體溫在手術中維持正常。如有任何查詢或需要預約，歡迎致電我們的24小時熱線📞2687 1030。 📍大圍積信街75號地下 It’s a pain in the tooth!🦷⚡️⚡️ Dental disease is a common problem in small mammals. We are often presented with a complaint from the owner that their pet is losing weight, or seems to be eating less or not eating at all. Most commonly we see 🐇rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas for these reasons. Several factors play a role in this; Genetics, incorrect or poor nutrition, trauma, calcium and Vitamin D deficiency, infections etc. A quick oral examination may first alert your veterinarian to the problem, however due to the anatomy and limited movement to open the mouth of these mammals, skull x-rays, CT scans and endoscopy are required for a complete evaluation of the extension of the problem. A full thorough oral examination can be achieved under anaesthesia using a handheld gag and cheek dilators. It helps to gently open the mouth and keep it open for safely performing the dental work. During the anaesthesia, we monitor the vital functions〽️; heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure (if patient size allows), oxygenation and b

一位好心的路人在街上發現了一隻受了重傷的烏龜，並同意進行電腦掃描檢查。A badly injured turtle found on the street, was brought in by a kind passer-by who agreed to have a CT scan done.專科醫生 Dr Vicente與獸醫助護Kevin ，在龜龜清醒下進行電腦掃描影像，龜龜四肢包紮以保持靜止不動，並注射顯影劑。Dr Vicente performed the CT scan, with help from Veterinary Assistant Kevin, while the patient was awake, with its limbs wrapped to keep it still. Contrast dye was injected for the imaging.電腦掃描顯示，龜龜有多處骨折及氣腔的嚴重病症。由於龜龜的傷勢嚴重、內出血、健康狀況惡化，我們決定解除龜龜的痛苦並進行人道安樂死。The scan showed the turtle had multiple fractures in its shell. It then developed a severe condition called pneumocoelum.Due to the turtle's worsening injuries, internal bleeding, and deteriorating health, we decided to relieve her suffering and a decision was made to humanely euthanise her.我們非常感謝這位路人願意幫助及解除龜龜的痛苦We were very grateful to this passer-by who was willing to go to this extent and help end the poor creature's suffering.🥺#taiwaiexoticvet#taiwaiexoticvethongkong#taiwaiexoticvet24hours#exoticvet#exoticpet#responsiblepetownership#proudlymars#proudlymvh#exoticpetowner Exotic Pet #珍禽異獸寵物Terrapin #水龜 🐢
