Exame Clínico em Serpentes

Physical examination of snakes requires secure restraint, a calm environment, and attention to the species' behavior. The assessment begins with observation from a distance, checking posture, movement, breathing pattern, alertness level, and the presence of secretions, wounds, or skin alterations. During restraint, the head should be protected and the body properly supported, avoiding stress and injury. The examination includes evaluation of the oral cavity, eyes, nostrils, scales, musculature, hydration, cloaca, and careful palpation of the body to identify masses, eggs, fecalomas, fractures, or internal alterations. It is also important to check for signs of retained ecdysis, stomatitis, external parasites, and respiratory problems, which are common in reptile clinics. 💬 Participate live, ask your questions in real time, and don't miss any content!
