Video library

Welcome to the BSAVA Video Library. This page gathers together all the clinical videos that are published alongside our manual chapters and Companion articles. If you have access to the source content you will be able to play the video from this page, as long as you are logged in. If you do not have access, clicking on the video title will take you to the source article or chapter. You can either use a library pass, or buy the chapter or article, to gain access to all the videos and the full text of that chapter or article. Please note that library passes cannot be used on Companion articles - BSAVA members already have access to Companion. Alternatively you can buy the entire book to gain access to all the videos in that book. You can use the filters on the left to focus on your topics of interest and you can also search the site and filter by content type=video. Please contact us with any feedback or suggestions.

Cockatiel with dyspnoea. Dyspnoeic birds often show a characteristic tail bob, which is an exacerbated vertical motion of the bird’s tail whereby the tail is pressed ventrally; this movement can be compared to abdominal breathing in mammals. © Yvonne van Zeeland, Utrecht University
A 9-month-old male mixed-breed dog, which had been neutered 2 weeks prior to this video clip. The dog had developed a stiff gait and dysphagia since surgery. Note the classic facial expression (risus sardonicus) associated with tetanus, with the ears drawn up. When the dog was placed on its side, it developed a dramatic increase in extensor tone in all four limbs, resulting in the typical sawhorse stance. (See page 286 in the Manual)
Thoracic duct ligation with haemoclips
A 3-year-old neutered Pomeranian bitch presented with a 24-hour history of non-ambulatory flaccid tetraparesis with reduced spinal reflexes. Careful inspection of the dog identified a tick. Removal of the tick resulted in a rapid improvement within 24 hours. (See page 296 in the Manual)
Time–gain compensation (TGC) controls are adjusted during this clip. Note the change in image brightness (gain) at the different axial levels.
