Neutering techniques in small exotic mammals. Part 2: surgical techniques
Background: Neutering small exotic mammals represents a common procedure for general practitioner vets. This comprehensive and evidence-based overview covers the considerations and surgical techniques for neutering small exotic mammals, focusing on rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and rats. Neutering has many functions, including preventing unwanted pregnancies, managing unwanted sexually derived behaviour and reducing the incidence of reproductive disease.
Aim of the article: Part 1 provided an overview of the neutering considerations and surgical techniques applicable for small exotic mammals, outlining strategies for securing intravenous access and achieving successful intubation and airway management. Perioperative considerations include the use of analgesia and selection of appropriate suture materials and sizes to minimise complications. Part 2 will review the current surgical techniques specific to each species, providing step-by-step images of procedures while considering the anatomical differences that influence surgical approach and how we can mitigate the challenges associated with them. With respect to ferrets, we discuss alternatives to gonadectomy, such as vasectomy and medical management.
期刊介绍:
In Practice is published 10 times a year and provides continuing educational material for veterinary practitioners. It includes clinical articles, written by experts in their field and covering all species, providing a regular update on clinical developments, and articles on veterinary practice management. All articles are peer-reviewed. First published in 1979, it now provides an extensive archive of clinical review articles.
In Practice is produced in conjunction with Vet Record, the official journal of the British Veterinary Association (BVA). It is published on behalf of the BVA by BMJ Group.
