Stabilizing the Critical Small Exotic Mammal Exotics & Reptile Patient
نویسنده
چکیده
Special Needs for the Exotic Small Mammal and Reptile Patient In general, basic equipment used for dogs and cats can be used on many exotic small mammals and reptiles. Most exotic animal patients tend to be very little; therefore pediatric equipment is a must. It is important to have catheters and needles as small as 26g. Small uncuffed endotracheal tubes should be available, and 18g to 14g IV catheters should be converted into ET tubes for very small patients.

A+-Optimizing Anesthesia and Analgesia for Exotic Mammal Patients
Zoological small mammal species are commonly encountered in veterinary practice and include those kept as pets, maintained by laboratories and zoological collections, and those encountered as free-living species. Effective protocols for analgesia and anesthesia are critical to the provision of a high level of medical and surgical care for these species. Pain can have serious negative implicatio...
متن کاملLinking economic activities to the distribution of exotic plants.
The human enterprise is flooding Earth's ecosystems with exotic species. Human population size is often correlated with species introductions, whereas more proximate mechanisms, such as economic activities, are frequently overlooked. Here we present a hypothesis that links ecology and economics to provide a causal framework for the distribution of exotic plants in the United States. We test two...

متن کاملDominance of nonnative species increases over time in a historically invaded strandline community
Methods We resurveyed the richness and cover of native and exotic plants in 2008 and 2009 at 18 sites, which had originally been surveyed in 1998. We examined whether native and exotic dominance had changed, whether nativerich sites were less likely to be impacted by exotics over time, whether changes in dominance were driven by large changes in a small number of outlier species or by small, in...
متن کاملExotic Species, Naturalisation, and Biological Nativism
Contrary to frequent characterisations, exotic species should not be identified as damaging species, species introduced by humans, or species originating from some other geographical location. Exotics are best characterised ecologically as species that are foreign to an ecological assemblage in the sense that they have not significantly adapted with the biota constituting that assemblage or to ...
