    13 - GDV in Rabbits? with Dr. Nicholas Jew and Dr. Stephen Chan
    Dec 17 2025

    You've heard about GDV in guinea pigs, but what about in rabbits? Should we even call it a dilation and volvulus - or a different kind of torsion? Can a rabbit survive this? Can you identify it quickly enough to make a difference?

    Join me, Dr. Stephen Chan, DVM, DABVP (Exotic Companion Mammal) and Dr. Nicholas Jew, DVM for an enlightening conversation through this interesting disease process.

    Spoiler: This podcast was in fact recorded before our annual conference in Seattle, WA August 2025 - look for us in 2026 in Philly!

    Aug 20 2025

    Have YOU found yourself teaching some tips and tricks of exotic mammal medicine and surgery to those around you? Is there something you do in your every day that you just wish every exotic mammal veterinarian would know?

    Share the knowledge!

    The HOW (Hands on Workshops) happen every year at our Exotic365 in-person conference, and is a great opportunity to get valuable technical know-how.

    As an Association, we know we are continually making advances in the care of our species, and would love it if more individuals would join us in teaching other veterinary professionals.

    For the contact information for the speakers in this episode, or for any further HOW ideas, please contact info@aemv.org.
