Backyard Chickens & Clinical Versatility: Treating Beyond the Familiar
Increasing numbers of people are getting backyard chickens and are coming to veterinarians with questions. And that's where you play a crucial role in keeping backyard chicken flocks healthy. As a general practitioner, are you confident in the care you provide to these patients? Tune in to this episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast and learn why chickens are great patients to work with if you are just starting in avian medicine. Dr. Cassi and Dr. Proenca delve into some of the aspects that need to be considered: the equipment that can help make working on chickens a bit easier, how our choice of medications needs to be guided by food animal standards and anesthesia. They demonstrate how we all possess much of the necessary knowledge to make good decisions for our patients, and how applying the same systematic thinking we apply to species we are not familiar with can readily extend to other species and allow us to treat our patients successfully—with care and compassion.
