Rhinotomy - is a kind of surgery when we form an artificial hole in the bone to have access to the nasal cavity.

Indications:
• Chronic rhinitis without success on conservative treatment (P.multocida, S.aureus, B bronchiseptica, Pseudomonas sp, Mycobacterium sp)
• Empyema/nasal abscess
• Dental problems (P1 retrograde growth, incisor malocclusion, elodontoma)
• Injury
• Foreign objects (hay, blade of grass)
• Oncology (SCC, basal cell carcinoma, lymphoma, nasopharyngeal polyps, osteoma)
• Mycoses, viral infections, parasites.
• Ectopic tooth in the nasal cavity
8 yo rabbit Platon suffered from chronic rhinitis for several months. He came to us from another hospital with CT, which showed us nasal cavity full of firm pus. At that moment he couldn’t even breath, so we provided total rhinotomy as soon as possible. During the surgery we removed a lot of pus, necrotic tissues, took bacteriology and cytology and flushed the nasal cavity carefully. He could breath well right after surgery. After postoperative period with antibiotics, bacteriophage and flushing with antiseptics he feels good. Finally he recovered uneventually. The last video shows him 7 months after the illness. Sometimes this operation can look scary, but it pays off completely.

🔥Shape Variation in the Craniomandibular System and Prevalence of Dental Problems in Domestic Rabbits: A Case Study in Evolutionary Veterinary Science.

Link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5606619/

Authors: Christine Böhmer, Estella Böhmer

These findings suggest that the phenotypic changes in domestic rabbits impact mastication performance and, consequently, oral health. An adequate close-to-nature nutrition throughout the whole life and especially beginning early parallel to weaning (phase of increased phenotypic plasticity) is necessary to ensure a normal strain on the teeth by promoting physiological lateral gliding movements and avoiding direct axial loads.

🐘What about elephant ears?

Ear serves the elephant not only for capturing sound, but also for communication. The developed vasculature of the auricle allows the removal of excess heat, in fact, being the main organ of thermoregulation. For a veterinarian, the auricle is one of the markers of an elephant's condition: the absence of a pronounced pattern of veins, as a rule, indicates dehydration and low pressure. The ear veins on the outer surface of the ear are ideal for collecting blood and placing IV and arterial catheters. We use vacuum systems, and despite the thickness of the skin, the size of the needles should be delicate, should not exceed 21G in order to avoid phlebitis.

❗️Warning ❗️ Always try jugular vein first for blood sampling and be very careful during this procedure.

🩸The occipital sinus has been described as a good method for blood sampling in sea turtles and other species including Trachemys scripta elegans.
🩸Venipuncture of the occipital venous sinus in turtles can be easily performed with a modi­ fied restraint technique by one person. Lymphatic and/or extravascular fluid contamination was not apparent with this technique.
🩸The occipital venous sinus in aquatic turtles is located in the occipital area, ventral to the supraoccipital crest. It connects the right and left temporal veins, which arise from the right and left jugular vein.

💉Hold the turtle vertically. Direct the head ventrally so that it rests at 90° to the carapace and hold in place with the free index finger of the nondominant hand. The supraoccipital and dorsal horn of the hyoid apparatus must be easily palpable with the free hand. A 25G needle is inserted into the occipital sinus, in the dorsal midline of the neck, just below the hyoid.

💚 Turtle is sedated. Video was done by me during my master degree In Camplutense University, thanks a lot for teaching Dr. Andres Montesinos on this lab turtle 🙏🏻. For the questions about the gloves: you always can choose be in or without gloves, but think about your safety and confidence

🔸Reasons of Urolithiasis in ferrets are:

1. genetic
2. diet
3. infections
4. lifestyle (immobility, obesity)
5. systemic diseases

For diagnosis we use: anamnesis, results of examination, laboratory tests of urine, X-ray and of course, ultrasound.

Myringotomy is an operation when the tympanic membrane is pierced in order to remove abnormal contents from the middle ear and take exudate for analysis in order to identify the disease agent and to correct selection of drugs. Our patient: rat with torticolis, on pictures: pus behind the tympanic membrane ➡️right after myringotomy➡️after flushing the middle ear.

HYPERTHYROIDISM IN GUINEА PIGS 🐹

- Females and males over the age of 2.5 years
- Clinical - Swelling of the ventral neck part, hyperphagia, hyperactivity, tachypnea, sleep too much, weight loss, sensitivity to touch, alopecia, diarrhea.
- Diagnosis - Increased levels of T3, T4, ultrasound, biopsy, scintigraphy. Ref T4 14.2-66.9 nmol / l; 1.1 - 5.2 ng/dl.
- Therapy - Methimazole 0.5-2 mg/kg orally SID. Carbimazole 1-2 mg/kg orally SID. Thyroidectomy. Radiotherapy (Radiation therapy, Radioactive iodine (I-131, 1mCi s/c - N. Shumaker)

- In case of thyroidectomy supportive care is needed (control of Ca and T4 levels). It is important not to damage the laryngeal nerv. In 42%, it is not completely removed.

Dental abscesses are a common pathology of rabbits.

The main treatment method is the elimination of the source of infection, surgical excision or marsupialization of the abscess. And how to handle such a wound, especially if it is drained into the oral cavity? The best choice is warm sodium chloride, chlorhexidine not more than 0.025% and Manuka Honey, a natural bacteriostatic.

The photo shows the natural healing process with local application of sodium chloride 0,9% + Manuka honey and systemic antibiotic therapy.

🦇Baseline of Physiological Body Temperature and Hematological Parameters in Captive Rousettus aegyptiacus and Eidolon helvum Fruit Bats.

✅Authors: Melanie Rissmann, Virginia Friedrichs, Nils KleyNils Kley, Martin StraubeMartin Straube, Balal Sadeghi, Anne Balkema-Buschmann
✅Year: 2022

To better understand the physiology of these animals, and to generate baseline knowledge, we monitored the body core temperatures of R. aegyptiacus bats in the aviaries, and found a circadian variation between 34°C and 41.5°C. We also determined the hematological parameters of both species, and detected specific differences between both bat species. For values of clinical chemistry, no correlation to age or s*x was observed.

🐰 When spaying rabbits, it is very important to remove both the ovaries and the uterus. Here is an example in this clinical case.

Rabbit Ozzy (6 yo) was spayed in another clinic at an early age, with what kind of method the owners did not know exactly. She came to us with complaints of uncontrolled urination and a suspected intestinal tumor. Blood tests revealed anemia.

Palpation revealed a mass in the area of ​​the uterine stump, which was confirmed by US, the surgery was performed to remove the neoplasia. According to histology, uterine adenocarcinoma was confirmed and adjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatin 150 mg/m2 was prescribed once every 3 weeks, 3 sessions. Ozzy did great. Now the bunny is doing well.

🟢 Chacoan Mara (Dolichotis salinicola) is a herbivorous rodent of South America, a family of mumps, 4th in size after capybaras, beavers and porcupines.
🦷Teeth formula: I 1/1, P1 / 1, M3 / 3. Dental disease is a typical problem for both wild and domestic representatives of the rodent genus. The approach to diagnosis and treatment does not differ from the standard methods adopted in guinea pigs and chinchillas. An important aspect is the prevention of the development of dental disease, namely:
🌿1. Diet based on crude fiber (grass, hay, twig, dry leaves, roots), grain-free grass granules, a minimum amount of simple carbohydrates (apple, carrots). 2. Vit C in a dose of at least 25 mg / kg at least 2 times a week
💡3. The use of UV lamps in individual modes
🏃4. Exercise
🟢 Our patient is a male, 5 years old, with dental disease; the X-ray shows a violation of the occlusion of the teeth, elongation of the crowns, pe*******on of the crowns into the ventral cortical bone. Pneumatosis of the gastrointestinal tract is a consequence of impaired consumption of coarse fiber and excessive proliferation of gas-producing bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
