Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in veterinary surgery and pharmacology are transforming the treatment of zoo and wild animals, improving clinical outcomes, and enhancing animal welfare. Innovations in diagnostic and surgical techniques, anesthesia, pain management, physiotherapy, and medical and pharmacological therapies are essential for managing complex conditions and adapting treatments to different animal species. However, challenges remain in optimizing diagnostic and treatment procedures, improving medication efficacy, and ensuring safe, species-specific applications.
This Special Issue, titled “Advances in Zoo, Aquatic, and Wild Animal Medicine”, invites original research, reviews, and case reports on innovative surgical and pharmacological treatments in veterinary medicine. We welcome articles that explore novel diagnostic procedures, surgical techniques, drug developments, and other interdisciplinary approaches that improve patient care.
We encourage veterinary researchers to contribute to this Special Issue, and in turn foster collaboration to advance animal healthcare.
We look forward to your submissions.
Prof. Dr. Teresa Encinas
