Ornamental Fish Exophthalmia: Diagnostic Workup and Sampling
A clinician workflow for unilateral or bilateral exophthalmia in ornamental fish, integrating system history, water testing, ocular localization, biopsy, imaging, and culture.
Read →Gerbil Seizures: Diagnostic Workup and Clinical Management
A clinician-facing approach to gerbil paroxysmal events, separating inherited stimulus-associated seizure phenotypes from toxic, metabolic, structural, and systemic disease.
Read →Ferret Corneal Disease: Examination and Diagnostic Workup
A clinician-focused workflow for ferret blepharospasm, corneal opacity, ulceration, conjunctivitis, and exophthalmos, including examination, sampling, and systemic differentials.
Read →Sugar Glider Neurologic Disease: Localization and Diagnostic Workup
A clinician-focused approach to stabilizing and localizing head tilt, ataxia, seizures, paresis, and altered mentation in sugar gliders while separating ear, metabolic, toxic, infectious, and traumatic causes.
Read →Chelonian Ocular Disease: Examination and Diagnostic Workup
A clinical framework for localizing eyelid, conjunctival, corneal, orbital, respiratory, and nutritional disease in turtles and tortoises while interpreting culture and husbandry findings cautiously.
Read →Nitrite Toxicity in Ornamental Fish: Diagnosis and System Correction
A clinical workflow for suspected nitrite toxicosis in aquarium and pond fish: distinguish hypoxemia from low dissolved oxygen, confirm the water-system failure, and correct exposure without losing biofiltration.
Read →Caparinia Mites in Hedgehogs: Diagnosis and Treatment
A clinical guide to Caparinia tripilis infestation in African pygmy hedgehogs, including asymptomatic carriage, skin-scrape interpretation, dermatophyte differentials, treatment evidence, and follow-up.
Read →Bearded Dragon Atadenovirus: PCR Diagnosis and Clinical Management
An evidence-based approach to Agamid adenovirus 1 in bearded dragons: interpret PCR in context, investigate coinfections and husbandry, isolate positives, and avoid equating detection with causation.
Read →Ornamental Fish Skin Scrapes and Gill Biopsies: Sampling and Interpretation
A practical DVM workflow for selecting fish, collecting fresh skin mucus and gill tissue, reading wet mounts, and integrating findings with water quality and lesion distribution.
Read →Reptile Septicemia: Diagnosis, Sampling, and Treatment
A clinician-focused workflow for suspected reptile septicemia: stabilize the patient, localize the source, collect representative samples, interpret bacterial growth in context, select therapy through susceptibility and stewardship, and correct husbandry and immune stressors.
Read →Pet Rodent Respiratory Disease: Diagnostic Workup and Sampling
A presentation-first framework for stabilizing and localizing respiratory disease in pet mice, rats, hamsters, and gerbils, then selecting imaging and samples without treating a radiographic pattern as an etiologic diagnosis.
Read →Ferret Splenomegaly: Diagnostic Workup and When to Sample
A clinician-focused approach to the enlarged ferret spleen: distinguish an incidental smooth enlargement from systemic or focal disease, stage the patient, choose imaging and sampling deliberately, and avoid automatic splenectomy.
