Molly Varga, an RCVS recognised Specialist in Zoo and Wildlife Medicine and veterinary adviser to Supreme Petfoods, will be presenting a talk on Emergency and Critical Care of Rabbits and Rodents at the London Vet Show on 14th November.
The talk, which is sponsored by Supreme, will be co-delivered by Craig Tessyman, who works alongside Molly as exotics veterinary nurse team leader at Rutland House Veterinary Referrals. The presentation will focus on key aspects of emergency care, including best practice for managing these cases in first opinion practice.
During the session, Molly and Craig will explore the specific challenges of emergency and critical care (ECC) in these species. Topics will include restoring and maintaining fluid balance, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), analgesia options and the importance of appropriate monitoring.
Molly says: “The basic principles of emergency care apply to all species, but with small herbivores, rapid intervention is crucial as their delicate physiology can quickly spiral into crisis when they become unwell. In this session, Craig and I will share practical tips that vets and nurses can implement immediately, without requiring specialist equipment, to help manage these challenging cases.”
Molly has worked in small animal and exotic medicine across the UK and Canada, and lectures widely on exotic pet medicine and surgery. Holding both a Certificate and a Diploma in Zoological Medicine, she currently heads the exotics service at Rutland House Referral Centre and has a particular interest in rabbit medicine and surgery. Molly has contributed to several BSAVA manuals on rabbits and other exotic species, as well as revising and updating the Textbook of Rabbit Medicine.
The talk, which counts for one hour of CPD, will be held on 14th November at 12.50pm in the Gallery Suite 3-4. For those unable to attend the live event, a recorded version of the presentation will be available on the Supreme Vet Zone: https://supremepetfoods.com/vet-zone/
