Terbinafine Otic

Clinical reference on Chlamydia psittaci infection in psittacine birds for exotic-animal clinicians. Covers pathogen biology, the nonspecific clinical picture (conjunctivitis, sinusitis, lime-green urates, hepatomegaly, subclinical carriage, sudden death), PCR-based diagnosis and its shedding-intermittency caveats, the canonical 45-day doxycycline course with route and formulation considerations, and the reportable zoonotic dimension: human psittacosis, PPE, client counselling, public-health rep

A link-out dosing reference for sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps). Covers why marsupial physiology — small body size, high metabolic rate, torpor, and a gum-feeding digestive tract — changes drug choice, plus per-class notes on antibiotics, antiparasitics, analgesia and anaesthesia, and supportive care for common presentations (NSHP/metabolic bone disease, self-mutilation, hind-limb paresis, dental disease, obesity, stress). Specific mg/kg values live on the cited drug pages.

When to compound, what bases work for which species, the stability and palatability tradeoffs, and the legal framework — written for the practitioner who has to fit a 5 mg dog tablet into a 30 g gecko.

When to assist-feed an anorexic reptile, what slurry to use, what tube size and route, and the metabolic considerations (refeeding syndrome, fluid status, temperature) that decide whether the patient survives the intervention.
