For those of you that don't live near an exotic vet or one that hasn't treated Sugar Gliders before, the Australian Native animal Zoo here in Victoria Australia will give out advice for vets all over the world. They have a vast amount of knowledge on all Australian Native animals so may be a help to your vet at some time. This is the link for your vet. http://www.australianwildlifecentre.org.au/ Vets can log on or they can ring during opening hours and talk to a vet. The following is some information for vets from the web site.
The Australian Wildlife Health Centre offers other veterinarians a unique wildlife information access service.
Sharing our knowledge of wildlife health is a focus of the Australian Wildlife Health Centre. Our veterinarians are at the forefront of wildlife healthcare and their expert knowledge, case-histories and research data is invaluable to other veterinarians sharing wildlife care.
Our veterinary database holds a wealth of information collected from the many thousands of patients that have passed through the Australian Wildlife Health Centre.
We offer unique access to veterinary information, exclusively to other veterinarians from anywhere in Australia or overseas. This service provides expert treatment advice, interpretation of X-rays, pathology or histology, or advice on any other health issue for a range of Australian wildlife patients they may be treating. Much of this information is derived from our extensive store of information provided by our database.
All requests for information should be directed to:awhcvetinfo@zoo.org.au
To assist us with processing your veterinary enquiry or information request, please fill out the Vet Registration Form below and submit it to our staff at the AWHC. Your request will be responded to as soon as possible.
