The course includes a review on radiographic positioning in small mammals, rabbit, ferret, bird and reptiles followed by a review of normal radiographic anatomy of different apparatus. This course will continue with a review of the radiographic appearance of important pathologies in small mammals, rabbit, ferret and reptiles.
