Abstract

ABSTRACT Maintenance of fluid support is an important aspect of care in the critical lizard or crocodilian patient. However, obtaining and maintaining vascular access in reptilian species has previously been reported to be challenging. A technique is described for vascular catheter placement in the tail of lizards and crocodilians. The practitioner should be aware that drugs and other therapeutics administered through this route may be affected by the renal portal system.
