Practical examination protocols and diagnostic procedures will enhance your confidence with common presentations. Both medical and surgical aspects will be discussed, with the emphasis on what is practical and realistic for your practice situation.
Specific areas to be covered include:
• Essential biology, nutrition and husbandry of rodents
• In-patient care
• Practical examination and diagnostic protocols

• Interactive case discussions
