Macropod Pediatrics - 05/04/24
Résumé |
Macropods belong to the marsupial family Macropodidae, which includes animals such as kangaroos and wallabies. Macropod offspring are highly altricial at birth and require specialized care and environmental conditions for healthy development. The care and management of pediatric macropods poses a challenge due to the unique physiology and reproductive strategy of macropods. In order to successfully work with pediatric macropods, clinical veterinarians should have knowledge of species-specific husbandry, normal postnatal development, and common medical conditions/treatments. With limited information available on macropod pediatric medicine, further research is warranted to improve the care and management of these animals in human care.
