Exotics Emergencies

Jul 6, 2023 | Avian

I’m very excited to be joining forces with Centre for Continuing Education (CVE) @ University of Sydney to offer a TimeOnline course on exotics emergencies in October 2023. This course is designed for vets and will cover receiving, assessing and stabilising an emergency exotics patient, including the basics of supportive care, clinical techniques and hospitalisation. It will focus on common exotics seen in Australia, including birds, small mammals and reptiles. 

If seeing a fluffed up bird, an inappetant rabbit or a guinea pig, or a seizuring dragon makes you nervous, this might be for you!
