S4 - E1 - ETTC - Treatment of Indian Giant Squirrel
The Indian giant squirrel (Ratufa indica) is a large arboreal rodent native to the Indian subcontinent. It is mainly herbivorous and feeds on fruits, nuts, seeds, bark, and resin. Captive born individuals may develop dental problems due to improper diet, lack of chewing materials, or genetic factors. The treatment of captive born Indian giant squirrel teeth involves regular examination, trimming, extraction, or root canal therapy depending on the severity of the condition. The treatment should be performed by a qualified veterinarian with experience in exotic animal dentistry.
In this episode, we will learn how we rescued the Indian giant squirrel, a species that lives in the tropical forests of India.
