S2E16 More On Wildlife Dentistry With Dr. Leslie Reed

In Part-2 of our discussion with Dr. Leslie Reed, a Minnesota-based veterinarian who specializes in wildlife dentistry, we get into more specifics about what good dental care looks like for different species of wild animals and why it's so important to treat pain adequately.  Gail and Leslie get into how wildlife rehabilitators can be more effective caregivers through learning dentistry basics and also collaborating with their veterinarian on standard operating procedures for animals that need care right away, which is often the case. If you are looking for resources on wildlife dentistry there is not a lot out there. But....Dr. Leslie recommended the book Ferrets, Rabbits and Rodents, 4th Edition by Katherine Quesenberry DVM, MPH et al.
