Treatment of dental disease in rabbits and herbivorous rodents commonly requires repeated dental trimming, often for the remainder of the patient’s life. Additional complications, such as dental abscessation, are common in certain species.
Advances in medical care developed at Zoo Miami’s Sea Turtle Hospital for injured or diseased sea turtles are shared with colleagues around the country. Data, such as novel approaches to the treatment of fibropapillomatosis, is often reported at veterinary conferences and through journals.
The new scientific publication, led by a senior lecturer at the University of Adelaide’s School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, was featured in Veterinary Sciences.
The Galápagos Islands have served as a laboratory and inspiration for veterinarians. The unique setting and wildlife, plus the presence of domestic animals, make them a crossroad for studying conservation challenges, evolution and adaptation, biodiversity, genetic analysis, antimicrobial resistance, and emerging infectious diseases.
With limited space in most veterinary practice’s retail centers, reviewing this year winners is one possible route in determining what to sell or gift clients for referrals.

Lessons learned in Europe and Australia can better prepare North America to mitigate the effects of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) on wild lagomorph populations. The main concerns are loss of biodiversity and genetic diversity through decrease in populations of wild rabbits and hares.
The research looks into the effects of temperature variability on nesting success by analyzing 300,000 breeding bird records, spanning from 1995 to 2020.
The use of cannabinoids in veterinary medicine is growing. What is less clear is the treatment across veterinary species, and the first necessary step into the use of cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) is to assess the pharmacokinetics in the species of intent.
