Did you know September was pain awareness month? This week we welcome a special guest, Dr. Mike Dutton, to chat with us about pain management in exotic animals. Dr. Dutton is a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in Avian Practice, Exotic Companion Mammal Practice, and Canine/Feline Practice. He has completed a post-doctoral Master’s Degree in Pain Management, and is also a Certified Pain Practitioner by the International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management (IVAPM). He also co-founded the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians, which now has over 900 members. Dr. Dutton lectures and publishes primarily on exotic pet medicine/surgery and small animal pain management. Currently, he is the medical director of New Hampshire Veterinary Centre for Wildlife (https://nhwildlifecare.org/). We hope you enjoy this week's episode!
