Webinar- "Antibacterials in Exotics... Is there a choice?" - by John Chitty

Jack's-Jane

Wise Old Thumper
To be broadcast live at 2030hrs on Thursday 13th July

''Drug use in exotics is fraught with difficulties: too many species, too few drugs, too little information. Dose rates are frequently empirical and often extrapolated between different species. Other species (especially rodents and rabbits) may have an inability to tolerate many of our “normal” drugs.

In addition, we have to consider anti-microbial resistance (AMR) issues that can seem a major contradiction in birds (where intravenous use of antibiotics is common as acute sepsis is not rare) and reptiles where the majority of pathogens are Gram negative rods.

The advent of some licensed drugs can offer a relief from this, although AMR issues may complicate this choice too.

This talk will cover diagnosis of bacterial infections, rational sampling, and use of anti-microbials in exotic species.
