🐦𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. When assessing avian patients, the scales are just one piece of the puzzle. Body condition scoring, muscle mass and fat reserves all provide valuable insight into a bird's overall health—and can often reveal subtle changes before clinical signs become obvious. Because birds are masters at hiding illness, routine health assessments remain one of the most important tools for early detection and long-term wellbeing. By combining a thorough physical examination with optimal nutrition, veterinarians and bird owners can work together to support healthier, happier birds. Dr Bianca Murphy, Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (DABVP) with a specialisation in Avian Practice and Medical Director of Harrison's Bird Foods, highlights why looking beyond the scales is essential for every avian patient. Proudly brought to you in collaboration with Harrison's Bird Foods and Exotic Vet Support—working together to advance avian health through education. #AvianMedicine #BirdHealth #ExoticVetSupport #AvianCare #CompanionBirds by @exoticvetsupport

Recently, Dr Dean Felkler, founder and mentor at Exotic Vet Support, had the opportunity to treat this impressive green iguana in Hong Kong. Green iguanas (Iguana iguana) are fascinating patients, with specialised adaptations for herbivory, hindgut fermentation, thermoregulation and life in the canopy. From their parietal eye to their highly specialised gastrointestinal tract, their anatomy and physiology are a great reminder that reptile medicine requires us to think about the whole animal, not just the presenting complaint.

🐀 𝗩𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗽 | 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗹𝘀 Rat respiratory cases can be deceptively complex. The clinical history can be particularly valuable — bedding, ventilation, ammonia exposure, housing and cage mates may all contribute to the clinical picture. And if respiratory signs are accompanied by vestibular or neurological changes, consider otitis media/interna as part of the work-up; recent data found more than 75% of rats presenting with otitis media/interna also had concurrent respiratory disease. (McCready et al 2026). Clinical pearl: a rat that has mild clinical signs may still have significant underlying respiratory pathology. Listen closely, assess the whole patient and investigate changes from that individual's normal. What respiratory presentations are you seeing most often in your rat patients? #ExoticVetSupport #SmallMammalMedicine #ExoticVet #ExoticAnimalMedicine #VetTips by @exoticvetsupport
