## What is Veterinary Care of Exotic Pets?

This app is for Vets, vet technicians and veterinary students worldwide.

Dog and cat medicine is taught at all veterinary schools, however education in exotic animal medicine is greatly lacking.  This contrasts with the frequency at which rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, tortoises and other reptiles and birds are presented at the veterinary surgery.

Vets are left with no specific training on dealing with these species, and although data is available in books, it usually has to be sourced and may be difficult to obtain if the practice does not have the relevant texts.

Veterinary Care of Exotic Pets is designed to provide biological data on the commonly presented exotic species and includes:

Biological data on commonly presented exotic species, providing answers to common enquiries (e.g. how long is a rabbit pregnant for?  When does a guinea-pig become reproductively active?  What is the normal temperature of a chinchilla?) 
A comprehensive list of common ailments
A list of commonly used drugs and their doses
Gallery of examples of some common conditions and radiographic data
Video clips of blood sampling each species

All this information combines into an app which will allow the vet to easily access some basic information, know which diseases are common in that species, how to treat them and how to work cases up by blood sampling.

This app will prove to be an invaluable mobile resource for Vets, Vet Nurses, Veterinary Technicians and Veterinary Students worldwide. The concept of updates means that this App will never go out of date and can be added to as necessary in the future.

## Key features

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2021-04-18*

I can’t believe I spent $12 on this. A short summary on exotic animals. Hardly any information. The internet or an exotic book would have been better. This should not be an App.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-08-23*

Well worth the cost. Very helpful for the small animal vet who needs a quick guide to make decisions fast.

### 2/5 — Lacking content

*2020-03-22*

The species range is limited and many common health issues are not noted. For what this cost I would argue that it’s very poor value for money. There is much information that could have and should be provided. Like most text books that are needed as students who DONT have surplus cash to spend. Over priced and will ultimately “gather dust “ as the information is lacking in any real content

### 5/5 — Very useful tool, thank you

*2019-10-14*

Please update weight for female hamsters :-)

### 4/5 — Good for basics but should have a feedback option!

*2018-11-23*

There should be a way to provide feedback about what other species should be covered! Let me see those tenrecs on the app!!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2018-03-05*

I love this app , I am a licensed veterinary nurse, the only thing that I want of this app is to include chickens as well please.

### 1/5 — horrible app

*2015-12-10*

I bought this app for $11.99 to get some info on my ginea pig that is sick and I got nothing out of this. This has been the worse way I have spent my money, I want a full refund because I personally think is a joke and a thievery

### 2/5 — Not much data

*2013-06-17*

I had expected to see a well rounded information set for exotics. What I got was little data basic general information and videos of how to draw blood and fluids. Not worth the cost for the small amount of data.

### 5/5 — Great exotic vet app

*2013-03-01*

Very quick and easy to use. Really helpful when seeing practice seeing as we do not get a lot of exotic teaching. Therefore the videos are very useful too. I will probably be using this app a lot when I graduate as well!

### 5/5 — A great reference

*2012-11-05*

This is a great easy to use quick reference for any practitioner that deals with exotics. Far cheaper than text book alternatives that cost £50 plus and with video footage too!
