Intermediate Wildlife Medicine
* Are you presented with wildlife cases on a regular basis?
* Do you think you are "kind of" familiar with the ethical and legal problems of treating wildlife, but you want to know more?
* Have you figured out that you really need more medical knowledge to properly care for injured wild animals? (Remember: It's not what you don't know that will get you, it's what you think you know - but don't!) VIN CE can help! VIN's Intermediate Wildlife Medicine CE course is structured for practitioners who are presented with wildlife cases on a regular basis and assumes the practitioner is familiar with the basic principles of avian medicine and surgery. Topics will include: ethical and legal considerations; handling, restraint, and examination; zoonoses and other public health concerns; and triage and treatment of common presentations. Instructor: Sonia Hernandez-Divers, DVM, Dip. ACZM (Diplomate of the American College of Zoological Medicine)
Dates: Nov 25th - Dec 23rd, 2002 Enroll before November 11 and save!

Leeches On Turtle
Most aquatic turtles in pet stores are wild caught (due in part to the anti-Salmonella 4-inch rule prohibiting the sale of turtles with a carapace length less than 4 inches). Wild-caught reptiles are usually heavily parasitized. Leeches are one form of parasite. I often see leeches attached to turtles.
