IVIS announces courses on rabbit, rodent and ferret dentistry

The International Veterinary Information Service (IVIS) has announced advanced courses in exotic companion animal dentistry. Two separate training courses begin in Brussels at the start of next month and cover a variety of aspects of exotic dental care. The first course, taking place on the 2 March covers the dentistry of pet rabbits, including the anatomy and physiology of dentition, diagnostic imaging and the basic principles of anaesthesia. The course also covers dental disease, treatment of incisor teeth and abscesses, and the intraoral treatment of cheek teeth.

The second course offered by Dr Capello follows on the 3 March, and focuses on the dentistry of pet rodents and ferrets. During this course, Dr Capello will discuss the dentistry of guinea pigs, rat-like rodents, chinchillas and degus, ferrets, Prairie dogs and other squirrel-like rodents. On day two he will also cover the treatment of challenging abcesses of the maxilla and the mandible in pet rabbits.

Dr Vittorio Capello has practised exotic animal medicine exclusively since 1996 and is president elect of the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians. He has lectured and taught exotic animal courses and practical laboratories throughout Italy, other parts of Europe, the United States and Japan, and has been a guest lecturer for four years in a row at the International Conference on Exotics.
