Hematology of Exotic Mammals

  1. What can we do to the needle and syringe when collecting blood from exotics?
    heparinize the needle and syringe in very small animals because we can get more sample
  2. How else can we collect blood other than using needle and syringe for exotics?
    capillary tubes
  3. What places can we collect blood in rabbits?
    • jugular vein
    • marginal ear vein
    • cephalic vein
    • lateral saphenous vein
  4. Which is the best place to collect blood in rabbits?
    marginal ear vein
  5. What places can we collect blood in ferrets?
    • cephalic vein
    • jugular vein
    • cranial vena cava

    • ear vein
    • tail vein and ventral caudal artery
    • cardiac puncture
  8. What is the best place to collect blood in rodents?
    tail vein
  9. How do we collect blood from the retro-orbital sinus?
