Pinworm ova from a bearded dragon fecalysis.

Tho they usually go undetected unless tested, these parasites can cause severe problems for your pets in large amounts. Just like other parasites they sap the host's body of nutrients and compromises it's immune system. Left unchecked and untreated they can be fatal.

It is important to have your pets regularly checked and undergo wellness treatments to prevent such problems from arising.

A reminder that not all products sold online are legitimate. Especially in cases of prescription medications, vaccines and antiparasitics which are supposedly sold and purchased under the guidance of a veterinarian are being made available online in places like shopee or lazada. There are plenty of these drugs sold wherein they are actually fakes.

Please be vigilant when buying medicine and if possible, buy the medicine prescribed to your pets from a veterinarian.

Skin abscess in tortoises

See those little yellow spots? Those are basically skin Abscessess. Similar to what we would call pimples, these little bumps contain pus and are signs of a superficial infection. Tho they usually don't occur alone.

These juvenile sulcatas were all presented with runny noses. The abscess weren't noticed by the owners. They had good appetite but we're soaked daily. Skin abscess can occur when the animal is frequently soaked but not dried properly and can usually occur along side fungal infections or in this case; Respiratory infection.

The abscess can be treated easily by removing them and sterilizing the skin to prevent more growths. Antibiotic therapy also helps improve the condition by purging bacteria from the body. Proper care and husbandry however is the best way to prevent such problems from occurring.

And this concludes our visit to Benguet.

We spent our last day in Benguet by visiting my Alma mater: Benguet State University - College of Veterinary Medicine. We were invited to talk about exotic pet medicine by the Junior clinicians. Part of the seminar included a hands on portion for the clinicians to try out giving oral and injectable meds, restraining, physical examination.

Although a part of their studies, we hope that these types of activities open up our future veterinarians to more possibilities that are open for our profession. That there are whole horizons waiting to be explored and cultivated by future practitioners.

May these students continue to pursue their studies and see you in the field soon future colleagues!

An adult male ball python came in with a suspected case of hemipenial prolapse.

Initial attempts to reduce the suspected prolapse organ was unsuccessful so surgical repair was recommended so that the problem could be more thoroughly assessed with the patient under anesthesia. Impacted musk glands was suspected but upon examination, there were abscess formations around the area that was pushing the organs out.

These were swiftly removed, with dried and necrotic parts debrided. The remaining healthy tissue were then placed back inside. Medications were prescribed before the snake was sent home.

Thank you so much to NEWT troopers Eli, Nicko and Jireh, for helping and to BSU-CVM Veterinary teaching hospital for accommodating the case.

Hemipenial cast from this adult male ball python.

Hemipenial casts are a buildup of debris that form inside the hemipen*s. These can be an accumulation of dust, dirt, sm**ma and other small objects. Left alone they can lead to impaction of the organ or in the case of this ball python: infection around the area which lead to the formation of an abscess.

Luckily the cast was found and removed during the snake's treatment.
