Oxbow’s June Exotic Companion Mammal Symposium
A guinea pig is giving Oxbow Critical Care, a premium recovery food made with high-fiber Timothy Hay and essential nutrients.
The educational event, held a couple times each year, focuses on exotic pet health and nutrition. Topics covered were Herbivore GI Function and Nutrition, GI Stasis in Small Herbivores, Rabbit Calcium Metabolism, Bladder Sludge, and Urolithias, Ferret Gastrointestinal Function and Nutrition, Ferret Endocrine Disease, Practical Reptile Medicine, Zoonotic Diseases of Exotic Pets and Endotracheal Intubation and Post-Surgical Care. The keynote speaker was Dr. Dan Johnson of Avian and Exotic Animal Care in Raleigh, North Carolina and there was a roundtable discussion to conclude the event.
The springtime version of this event was held in March at the Goldring – Woldenberg Jewish Community Center in Metairie, Louisiana and hosted by The West Esplanade Veterinary Clinic.
