Overview of Reptile medicine
نویسنده
چکیده
Reptilian medicine has evolved greatly in recent decades. Management and clinical examination techniques are of critical importance. And because most of Reptiles are very close depend on their environmental conditions, husbandry records are more than important. Review information on apparently healthy animals and the sick individual is part of the diagnostic process. Before any therapy is instituted, the clinician must carefully consider questions on husbandry situation of the patient, especially its nutritional status. There is no sense for instance to institute an antimicrobial therapy without correcting zootechnical deficits. Like any other taxon, Reptiles can present a large variety of diseases: infectious and parasitic processes, non infectious diseases... But again, in a very general way, and that is true for any wild and exotic animal, the majority of the diseases come from an inadequacy between the specific requirements and the zootechnical parameters proposed to the subject. If semiology is not always correlated with the etiology, nevertheless there are some pathognomonic symptoms for dominant diseases that is essential to know.
