As evidenced by numerous case reports from zoos, neoplasia in felids is common, but most reports are limited to Panthera species in North America or Europe. In order to obtain a wider epidemiologic understanding of neoplasia distribution, necropsy records at seven facilities (USA, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil) were evaluated. In contrast to o...

México es considerado uno de los principales países por su diversidad biológica y es uno de los más importantes en el mundo por su fauna dentro del grupo de los anfibios con 231 especies (Flores y Canseco, 2004). Actualmente, los anfibios se clasifican en 3 órdenes: Anura (ranas y sapos), Caudata (salamandras y tritones) y Gym- nophiona (cecilias)...

Background One of the most common ectoparasites in hedgehogs is Caparinia tripilis. Isoxazolines have recently shown to be a good treatment option for ectoparasites. The objective of this case report was to describe the treatment of a natural infestations from Caparinia tripilis in two African hedgehogs with sarolaner. Case description Two hedgeho...

Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculi) are very popular as pets. However, problems of otitits caused by Psoroptes cuniculi are one of the main reasons to visit the veterinarian. Isoxazolines are an alternative treatment to treat this mite, and therefore, an evaluation of the effectiveness of oral afoxalaner with milbemycin oxime in rabbits infected with P....

Lice are ectoparasites capable of affecting birds, and can result in direct and indirect damage to their host. Afoxolaner is an isoxazoline that has been shown to be effective against these ectoparasites without known adverse effects. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of afoxolaner on lice in pheasants and plain chachalacas....

Snakes have a great ability to adapt to a wide range of environmental conditions and due to their fascinating appearance have become common companion pets. Snakes are carnivorous reptiles that show considerable intervals in gastrointestinal transit time and digestion and also display a surprising dilation ability of the esophagus which also is rela...

A 2-year-old female African pygmy hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris) presented to emergency for anorexia, lethargy and vulvar discharge. Tranquilization with midazolam, administration of oxygen therapy and facemask anesthesia with isoflurane were used for radiography study which showed increased radio-opacity and silhouette sign in the thoracic cavity...

Los pacientes mamíferos exóticos para los profesionales clínicos están representados por los llamados pequeños mamíferos como los hurones, los conejos, los erizos y diversas especies de roedores.

Background: Ectoparasitism of ornamental birds, including captive species kept in zoos, represents a serious health problem. Up to 13 different species of lice have been reported to affect peacocks worldwide and heavy infestation may cause anaemia. Because of this, alternatives to the prevailing treatments have been sought including use of isoxazo...

An African hedgehog patient with generalised erythema and periauricular scaling was presented for consultation; previously, it had been treated with ivermectin but no improvement was noted. Scrapes were performed from the skin and the mite morphologically corresponded to Demodex spp. Demodicosis in African hedgehogs is fairly rare; this is the reas...

Background: African pygmy hedgehogs (Atelerix albiventris) are popular pets belonging to the Erinaceidae family of spined mammals. Amongst the most common skin diseases occurring in this species is infestation caused by the mite Caparinia spp. Due to their skin anatomy and spiny coat, detection of skin lesions in these hedgehogs can be difficult....
