Renal Disease in Special Species
Renal disease is a relatively common condition in clinical practice. Given the variety of exotic animal species encountered in exotic animal medicine, the breadth and depth of knowledge that is required to meet the challenge of managing this disease can be intimidating. This issue is intended to serve as a clinical aid for the veterinary practitioner. (Source: Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice)

Smartphone-Based Device in Exotic Pet Medicine
This article reviews the use of the smartphone in exotic pet medicine. The mobile app is the most instinctive use of the smartphone; however, there are very limited software dedicated to the exotic pet specifically. With an adapter, the smartphone can be attached to a regular endoscope and acts as a small endoscopic unit. Additional devices, such as infrared thermography or ultrasound, can be connected to the smartphone through the micro-USB port. The medical use of the smartphone is still in its infancy in veterinary medicine but can bring several solutions to the exotic pet practitioner and improve point-of-care evaluati...

Medical Three-Dimensional Printing in Zoological Medicine
Medical 3-dimensional printing allows the creation of anatomic models by using a sequence of computer software programs. Diagnostic imaging data are used to create a physical model that allows clinicians to plan for surgical procedures and create prosthetics and surgical implants and instruments, among other applications. Its use in zoological medicine is limited, but is an area with a great growth potential. This publication reviews the process of creating a 3-dimensional anatomic model, its application in human and small animal medicine and surgery, and reviews peer-reviewed data regarding its use in exotic animals, wild...

Technological Advances in Surgical Equipment in Exotic Pet Medicine
Surgery can be challenging in exotic pets owing to their small size and blood volume, and their increased anesthetic risk compared with small animals. Various devices are available to facilitate suturing, cutting, and hemostasis in the human and veterinary fields. These surgical equipment improve the simplicity, rapidity, and effectiveness of surgery. Vessel-sealing devices, radiosurgery, lasers, and ultrasound devices are commonly used because of their ease of use and increase in surgical efficiency. Other surgical devices are available (eg, stapling devices) but are not discussed in this article. (Source: Veterinary Clin...

Advances in Therapeutics and Delayed Drug Release
Reducing the frequency of drug administration in the treatment of exotic pets is advantageous because it may decrease handling frequency and thus potential stress and injury risk for the animal, increase owner compliance with the prescribed treatment, and decrease need for general anesthesia in patients that cannot be handled safely. Increasing efficient drug plasma concentration using sustained-released delivery systems is an appealing solution. Potential candidates that could provide a promising solution have been investigated in exotic pets. In this article, the technologies that are the closest to being integrated in e...

Advances in Exotic Animal Clinical Pathology
Over the last 10  years, exotic animal clinical pathology has been evolving, improving health assessment in avian, mammal, fish, reptile, and amphibian patients. These advances are reviewed in this article. Species-specific reference intervals for blood parameters are becoming more available (eg, for ionized calciu m, endocrine panels, and vitamin D plasmatic concentrations). In addition, new technologies are being developed to facilitate targeted metabolite detection and result acquisition by veterinarians. Novel techniques, biomarkers, and clinical changes related to disease have been described in avian, mam mal, fish, ...

Technological Advances in Wound Treatment of Exotic Pets
This article reviews the literature available about some of these techniques (negative wound pressure therapy, photobiomodulation [laser therapy], electrical stimulation therapy, therapeutic ultrasonography, hyperbaric oxygen therapy), and other advances in wound management (skin expanders, xenografts, and bioengineered autologous skin substitutes) in exotic pet species.

Technological Advances in Exotic Pet Anesthesia and Analgesia
Even when performed by skilled operators, locating the nerves can be challenging in small exotic pets; in such cases, the use of an electrical nerve stimulator may be useful to confirm the correct identification of the target nerve. Exotic animal anesthesia and analgesia have dramatically progressed over the past decade and continue to do so as more research and technologies develop. Technological advancements such as airway devices, endoscopic intubation techniques, positive intermittent pressure ventilators, and invasive and noninvasive blood pressure monitors have played a significant role in improving patient safety an...
