Molly Varga to share expert insights on small animal ECC at London Vet Show

Molly Varga, an RCVS recognised Specialist in Zoo and Wildlife Medicine and Veterinary Advisor to Supreme Petfoods will be presenting a talk on Emergency and Critical Care of Rabbits and Rodents at the London Vet Show on November 14th.  The talk, which is sponsored by Supreme, will be co-delivered by Craig Tessyman, who works alongside Molly as Exotics Veterinary Nurse Team Leader at Rutland House Veterinary Referrals. The presentation will focus on key aspects of emergency care, including best practice for managing these cases in first opinion practice.

As prey species, rabbits and rodents instinctively conceal signs of illness, meaning they are often in a critical condition by the time veterinary intervention is sought. Early and effective emergency care is therefore key to achieving successful outcomes. During the session, Molly and Craig will explore the specific challenges of emergency and critical care (ECC) in these species. Topics will include restoring and maintaining fluid balance, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), analgesia options and the importance of appropriate monitoring.

Molly says, “The basic principles of emergency care apply to all species, but with small herbivores, rapid intervention is crucial as their delicate physiology can quickly spiral into crisis when they become unwell. In this session, Craig and I will share practical tips that vets and nurses can implement immediately, without requiring specialist equipment, to help manage these challenging cases.”

Molly has worked in small animal and exotic medicine across the UK and Canada, and lectures widely on exotic pet medicine and surgery. Holding both a Certificate and a Diploma in Zoological Medicine, she currently heads the Exotics Service at Rutland House Referral Centre and has a particular interest in rabbit medicine and surgery. Molly has contributed to several BSAVA manuals on rabbits and other exotic species, as well as revising and updating the Textbook of Rabbit Medicine.

Claire Hamblion, Marketing Director at Supreme Petfoods, says, “We are delighted to be back at the London Vet Show. It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect with the veterinary profession, share ideas and focus on how we can best support small pet health and wellbeing. Molly and Craig’s talk will be a highlight, combining their expertise and passion for exotics with practical, actionable insights.”

The talk, which counts for one hour of CPD, will be held on November 14th at 12.50pm in the Gallery Suite 3-4. For those unable to attend the live event, a recorded version of the presentation will be available on the Supreme Vet Zone.
