Course Focus and Learning Objectives

VetCE on Demand: Rabbit and Rodent Dentistry utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name.

Dental disease is one of the most common diseases of herbivorous rodents (guinea pigs and chinchillas) and of rabbits. It is vital to be aware of anatomy and disease etiology along with how to perform the oral exam. In addition, awareness of diagnostic factors and treatment options are important in providing good patient care. This course will review all these components.

Upon completion of this course the participant should be able to:

  • discuss the differences in dental anatomy between rabbits and the three groups of rodents (hystricomorphs, myomorphs, and sciuromorphs)
  • outline the diet and husbandry risk factors of companion rabbits for development of dental disease
  • compare and contrast dental disease in guinea pigs, chinchillas, and rabbits including the common disease presentations and anatomic locations in each taxa
  • outline the recommended and non-recommended treatment options for dental abscessation in rabbits
