Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of exotic animal medicine has significantly expanded in recent years, contributing a wealth of valuable scientific data. However, due to its vast and complex scope, important gaps remain, and high-quality scientific information is still lacking in many areas and species. In this context, sharing data and research findings is essential for advancing our knowledge and enabling a systematic, evidence-based approach to diseases affecting our exotic patients.
We are pleased to announce the Special Issue of Animals, ‘Advances in Exotic Pet Medicine’. This Special Issue aims to bring together relevant publications on various topics related to exotic pet medicine. We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, case series, and communications that enhance our understanding of this field. The scope of this Special Issue includes any important area of medicine and surgery relating to exotic pets, such as the following:
- Clinical pathology;
- Diagnostic imaging;
- Pharmacology;
- Surgery;
- Endoscopy;
- Pathology;
- Clinical trials;
- Case series on a specific disease or syndrome (a minimum of three cases must be included to be considered a case series);
- Clinical cases (one or two clinical cases reporting novel, unique, or rarely reported clinical entities, unusual presentations of established clinical entities, new clinical diagnostic methods, or novel/previously not described treatments and outcomes).
We very much look forward to receiving your contributions.
