Molly Varga Smith, an RCVS recognised Specialist in Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, will be presenting a talk about the emergency and critical care of rabbits and rodents at the London Vet Show on November 14^th.

The talk, which is sponsored by Supreme Petfoods, will be co-delivered by Craig Tessyman, who works alongside Molly as Exotics Veterinary Nurse Team Leader at Rutland House Veterinary Referrals.

The presentation will focus on the main aspects of emergency care, including best practice for managing these cases in first opinion practice.

Topics will include restoring and maintaining fluid balance, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), analgesia options and the importance of appropriate monitoring.

Molly said: “The basic principles of emergency care apply to all species, but with small herbivores, rapid intervention is crucial as their delicate physiology can quickly spiral into crisis when they become unwell.

"In this session, Craig and I will share practical tips that vets and nurses can implement immediately, without requiring specialist equipment, to help manage these challenging cases.”

The sixty minute talk will start at 12.50pm in the Gallery Suite 3-4.
