Caring for exotic pets.

Description
Exotic pets are becoming quite common in the world. They don’t take up much space, they don’t eat much, and you don’t have to take them for a walk every day. We catch up again with UK veterinarian Benjamin Kennedy and we discuss exotics as a pet. The first half of the podcast; we discuss the husbandry of them, and we get a little bit more clinical in the second half and talk about the veterinary care of them.         What are exotic pets?         Do they make good pets?         Special licensing         Do they have personalities and bond to humans?         How difficult is it to provide husbandry needs?         Is it harder to get the diet of an exotic right compared to a conventional pet?         How do you know your exotic is sick?         How to examine an exotic.          Drug usage in exotics         How to administer drugs.         Surgery. Healing and anatomical differences.          Anaesthetics         Do they feel pain?         Euthanasia         Where to get more information.
