Exotic Animals Section is constantly working on new research. This time an unexpected patient had to go under the knife.
In the picture students – Vice-president of the section, Aleksandra Szefer and a second year student, Piotr Szczygieł – assist by the procedure of female Western Hognose Snake’s lumpectomy.
Collected materials will soon be sent for histopathology, and its result will be discussed during one of the upcoming Conferences.
During the examinations our students are supported by DSc Wojciech Bielecki, SGGW associate professor and DVM Gabor Kamiński.
This is not the first time that Aleksandra and Piotr encroach upon reptile territory – their joint review regarding metabolic bone disease in reptiles and amphibians has achieved a second place in the section related to exotic animals on II National Veterinary Conference ResonnéVet.
Piotr has also taken part in 3rd Ethical Dilemmas in Veterinary Education Conference with his essay “Ethical Dilemma of Breeding Snakes in Rack Systems in the Context of Veterinary Medicine”.
