About The Webinar
Rodents have become very popular pets and are nowadays commonly seen as patients. However, the lack of familiarity with these species can make their appropriate care challenging. A basic knowledge of their needs and a practical approach can help to build up confidence while treating these interesting pets. Furthermore, the increasing awareness of veterinary professionals towards them has led to an increase in research over the past decade, which may help improving their standards of care. During this webinar we’ll learn how to achieve appropriate patient and equipment preparation prior to surgery, how to approach rodents from a surgical perspective and recognise the importance of adequate post-surgical care. By the end of this webinar, you should be able to assess the suitability of a rodent patient for general anaesthesia and surgery and you should be able to adequately prepare your patient for surgery. You will also learn how to approach common surgical procedures in these patients, while applying general surgical principles.
