Dr Joerg Mayer from @ugavetmed is wowing us all today on the final day of @IVMA1 annual conference. Starting the morning with avian radiography—reminding us that lead gloves don’t protect against the primary beam—just against scatter. “Primate hands don’t belong on a radiograph!”

Lecture 2 from Dr Joerg Mayer @ugavetmed at @IVMA1 annual conference is on avian soft tissue surgery. Strongly encourages performing cadaver surgery before attempting surgery for 1st time on live bird. “Perform the cadaver procedure just like a surgeon would,” he emphasizes.
