21: Dystopic Dystocia in Reptiles
Mark is looking resplendent in his Lacoste Polo shirt this week - trying to convince us he wears it for a good cause. In other news dogs are in the bad books - threatening wildlife and wreaking havoc on beaches, whilst Brendan ponders the choice of colour in a newly discovered giant slug.
Mark's book review is 1Q84, a dystopian novel. You can find more information here. He rates it a 7 out of 10.
Brendan's Melbourne Veterinary School Class 30th Reunion - can you see him?
The main topic this week is dealing with dystocia in reptiles: What works? Medical or surgical or a combination of both? Oxytocin use, incubation of eggs, and an alternative use of the Toothpaste Technique is discussed.
