Post-mortem on a dolphin - Dr Michelle Lewis

NOTE: This video was produced as a learning tool and is not for sensitive viewers. Viewer discretion is advised. In recent years, there has been a notable increase in student-interest in the field of marine mammal research and medicine. Dr Michelle Lewis, a lecturer in the Department of Paraclinical Sciences’ Pathology Section at the Faculty of Veterinary Science, used her experience with dolphin post-mortems to produce this video as a learning tool. The field of marine mammals is one of the highly specialised areas of veterinary research and medicine, with limited institutions available in South Africa where students may gain experience. Currently only a handful of veterinarians are employed on a fulltime basis at aquaria in South Africa. Most other veterinarians that deal with these species will do so as private practitioners or CCS vets working in coastal towns, who are called out to a stranded animal for a post-mortem or euthanasia. The purpose of this video is to empower them with the knowledge to do a thorough post-mortem and collect adequate samples, should they be called on to do so one day.   This video was made possible by the University of Pretoria Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (UP SoTL) grant fund and support from the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF).
