presentations when dealing with rabbits, guinea pigs, and rodents.
VIN CE Course: Open to veterinarians and veterinary technicians/technologists.
This course has been submitted for RACE approval for

Course Information:
We will cover the basic dental anatomy for rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents, mice, rats, hamsters,
and prairie dogs, as well as husbandry issues (such as diet) which may influence dental health.
We will then discuss the common presentations seen with each species, methods of diagnosing dental
disease, and the appropriate treatment for these conditions. Some time will be spent going over
the proper equipment needed in the exotic dental suite, and post-procedural management options
and care. This class will only touch on the anesthesia of these patients, leaving that generous
topic for another course.
