Endoscopy has many uses in exotic animal medicine and surgery, offering not only a means of direct visualisation but also enabling biopsy collection, aiding in surgical interventions, and providing invaluable images of lesions for both record-keeping and educating pet owners about the extent of the disease. In this case, a rabbit dental abscess required both intra-oral extraction and flushing to manage the infection with the assistance of endoscopy. The deficit is inspected after to ensure as much of the abscess is debrided and removed as possible. As always, cultures should be performed to allow appropriate antibiotic therapy. #exoticvetsupport #exoticvet #veterinary #vet #vethospital #vetstudent #vetnurse #vettech #vetcpd #webinar #onlineteaching #rabbithealth #rabbitvet #rabbitdental #rabbitabscess

Pre-ovulatory follicular stasis is the failure of the mature follicle to ovulate or resorb. If left untreated (or undetected), secondary disease is likely in these patients. Inflammatory or infectious components often results in a coelomitis. Other co-morbidities may also be seen. e.g. bacterial pneumonia, thus, a broad diagnostic investigation approach is imperative to successful treatment. This is a life threatening condition. Imaging modalities such as ultrasonography, a CT scan or even cystoscopy in some species can be used to monitor progression or regression of these follicles. This condition is likely multifactorial but predisposing factores include inappropriate artifical climate, nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism and even perhaps lack of a male to initiate vitllogenesis. Chelonian and lizard species are most at risk of developing pre-ovulatory follicular stasis and the current treatment of choice is bilateral ovariectomy. Here I perform an ovariectomy on a red eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) via a endoscope assisted pre-femoral approach as this is less invasive with a shorter healing time than a plastronotomy incision.

Dental extractions in rabbits can sometimes be challenging. They have long reserve crowns (dental roots) embedded into fragile jaws bones, all within a small oral cavity. Care must be taken to ensure the entire crown and reserve crown are extracted. Tooth fracture or incomplete removal can cause persistent pain and potential crown regrowth. That dreaded “click” sound when performing a dental extraction happens to us all at times. If a dental fracture is caused during an extraction don’t panic it isn't game over. There are ways to still retrieve the entire reserve crown. Here I use a 2.7mm 30 degree rigid endoscope to visualise the remaining reserve crown in a rabbit maxilla premolar extraction. This can be loosened up (as shown) and extracted still using an intraoral approach. Leo seems much more comfortable post-dental. He prefers to eat voluntarily rather than being support fed (as shown by his syringe food beard). Well done Leo - always a pleasure seeing you. #exoticvetsupport #exoticvet #veterinary #vet #vethospital #vetstudent #vetnurse #vettech #vetcpd #webinar #onlineteaching #rabbithealth #rabbitvet #rabbitdental #rabbitextraction

This 12 year old Green Cheek Conure has a large fluid-filled coelomic mass. Due to its size, the origin and tissue is not clear from the CT scan so this fluoroscopy contrast study was performed to rule out GI involvement. From this study, we can confirm that the GI tract is not involved in the condition because all looks normal from crop to cloaca. Due to high radiation output, we only obtain short clips throughout the procedure to minimise exposure of the patient. In the short clips shown here, we can see the delineated crop, proventriculus, ventriculus, intestines and cloaca. We can visualise real-time crop emptying and the peristaltic movement of the intestines. There is no large abnormal fluid-filled structure delineated by the contrast. She then gives us a nice 3D view whilst head bobbing and dancing around. 🦜 #exoticvetsupport #exoticvet #veterinary #vet #vethospital #vetstudent #vetnurse #vettech #vetcpd #webinar #onlineteaching #birdhealth #avianvet #conure #fluoroscopy

I literally love working with reptiles. Here in Sydney, we see many come through our doors for both medical and surgical treatments. This is a Murray-Darling Python (Morelia spilota metcalfei) that required surgical resection of a gastric carcinoma. Thankfully she has recovered nicely and is doing Great! #exoticvetsupport #exoticvet #veterinary #vet #vethospital #vetstudent #vettech #vetcpd #webinar #onlineteaching #reptile #snake
