Hi im a new bunny mom of 2 New Zealand 5 month old rabbits they are getting neutered 1 on Monday and 1 Tuesday they were litter mates and very bonded any advice on how to handle tier recovery

Something I hear all the time from vets, vet nurses, techs and students is that avian and exotics emergencies TERRIFY them And honestly, that fear is valid. Birds and exotics: - Are masters of hiding pain and illness - They often present when disease is advanced - Signs are non specific - They are fragile and decompensated fast - - Not to mention the vet training curriculum currently does not provide extensive coverage of birds and exotic species, leaving many feeling undertrained and unprepared Some of the biggest fears I hear are: “I’m scared I’ll miss something subtle” “I don’t feel confident handling them”“I don’t know what normal vitals are”“Avian and exotics anaesthesia terrifies me”“What if I make it worse?” If you’ve ever felt your heart race when an exotic emergency walks through the door — you are not alone. But here’s the truth: Confidence in exotic emergencies is possible and it’s achieved with structured education and training. You need a framework to teach you: - Species specific physiology - Triage protocols and clear stabilisation priorities - Safe handling, normal vitals and what to focus on physical exam - How to perform life saving clinical techniques such as IV catheterisation, fluid therapy and emergency drug calculations - Utilising the right diagnostics and carrying them out safely in an emergency situation - Hospitalisation and supportive care That’s exactly why I created Nursing the Critical Exotic Patient inside this community. https://www.skool.com/exotic-pet-education-platform-9090/classroom/45739d01 It’s designed to help you: ✔ Approach avian and exotics emergencies with structure and confidence ✔ Triage, stabilise, perform diagnostic tests and administer life saving treatments in hospital ✔ Recognise and address critical emergencies early✔ Feel prepared instead of overwhelmed This course is real-world, clinic-relevant, immediately applicable training.

Vets, vet nurses and techs and others working in the veterinary space - What's your biggest challenge or fear when it comes to working with birds and exotics? Is it: Knowing normal vitals? Handling and restraint? Emergency stabilisation? Clinical techniques? Equipment setup? All of the above?! Or something else? I'd love to know and help you to grow your knowledge and build your confidence! Comment yours below 👇

Hi everyone 👋 I want to make this space useful for you and a place where education is accessible so we can all provide birds and exotic pets with the best care so I thought let’s open up a Q&A thread 👇 Whether you’re a: pet owner or in vet med You can ask anything about birds and exotic pets. For example: 🐰 Rabbits and other small pets e.g diet recommendations, behavioural problems, gut stasis and emergencies 🐦 Birds e.g. understanding subtle signs of illness, nutrition, enrichment 🦎 Reptiles husbandry and housing set up, behaviour, signs of illness 🩺 Clinical questions e.g. triage, stabilisation, nursing care etc Drop your question below 👇 I’ll answer as many as I can and turn the best ones into educational resources or guide you on where you can go to learn more!

Hi everyone I'm glad to be accepted into this community and wish to learn about my parrots and pets in a better way and I love animals so much that being a vet is my childhood dream and hopefully the people here will help me through it.
