Open to Veterinarians only. This wetlab is designed with the reptile clinician in mind. Lab participants will learn a variety of practical and surgical skills, ranging from routine to emergency practices. Skills include, but are not limited to, tail amputation, cloacal prolapse fixation, skin biopsy, tracheal wash, enema, follicle check, positioning for radiographs, stimulating defecation in lizards, addressing aural abscesses in chelonia, spectaculotomy in snakes, fluid administration, intubation, toe amputation, probing snakes, and IO catheter placement. Skills to be learned and practiced will be based on cadaver availability, and the lab will end with a detailed necropsy and celiotomy (spay/biopsy procedures can be attempted based on availability).
