Mark chats about his weekend away glamping and reveals some wildlife photography tips, then jumps into the frying pan. Two-stage euthanasia of unusual pets. Melbourne weather. Topic of the week: Intestinal parasites in exotic and unusual pets. Bird, small mammal (rabbit, guinea pig, rat, mice and ferret), and reptile intestinal parasites are discussed. What parasites do we need to worry about in exotic species? Strategies to prevent parasites and effective use of antiparasiticides. What is a pseudo parasite? A new term is coined - pseudo-yeast - you heard it here first. Links: A selection of veterinary parasitology texts Veterinary Parasitology Reference Manual 5th Edition. Spiral bound, highly rated by clinicians and students. Veterinary Clinical Parasitology 8th Edition Good spiral bound text for quick reference for students or busy clinicians. Georgis' Parasitology for veterinarians Comprehensive text, probably best for those with a deeper interest in parasitology. Satin Bowerbird taken by Mark on his Glamping trip
