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.

A 7-year-old Scottish Terrier bitch with facial hyperaesthesia. The dog also has bilateral temporal muscle atrophy and the facial electromyogram showed abnormalities. (See page 230 in the Manual)
A 2-year-old Domestic Shorthaired cat presented with acute progressive signs of dry mucous membranes, pupillary dilatation, anorexia and vomiting. The neurological examination demonstrated the maintenance of skeletal muscle strength. In this clip, 0.1% pilocarpine had been administered to the right eye to confirm the diagnosis of feline dysautonomia. The cat was subsequently euthanized. (See page 377 in the Manual)
A Domestic Shorthaired cat demonstrating signs compatible with feline hyperaesthesia syndrome. The cat seems irritated and restless and is focused on apparent 'discomfort' in the caudal spine. (Courtesy of C Chrisman) (See page 247 in the Manual)
There is no movement of the left side during the respiratory cycle. On the right, the arytenoid cartilage is seen to be abducted during inspiration (as indicated by the clinician saying ‘in’).
There is normal movement on both sides during the respiratory cycle (phase as indicated by the clinician saying ‘in’).
A 7-year-old Miniature Schnauzer presented with acute onset left pelvic limb plegia and signs of right pelvic limb paresis after running in the yard. Myelography and CSF analysis were within normal limits. The dog started to regain strength in the right pelvic limb and was ambulating without assistance 10 days after the incident. The left pelvic limb remained weaker. (See pages 325 and 326 in the Manual)
In this clip the heart lies on the left of the image, with an irregularly rounded hypoechoic mass on the right. The needle is seen as a hyperechoic linear structure entering the mass from the top right of the image. Precise needle placement requires experience and an immobilized patient (preferably under general anaesthesia).
Following palpation of the cervical vertebrae, it can be useful to carefully flex and extend the neck as shown in this clip. However, this is not necessary and may be dangerous if pain is detected on palpation. (See page 253 of the Manual)
Flushing technique: flushing and suctioning cycles in the external ear canal of a dog with otitis externa.
Flushing technique: appearance of the intact tympanic membrane after the flushing procedure.
A 5-year-old Labrador ‘snapping at the air’. This is commonly referred to as ‘fly-biting’. (See page 138 in the Manual)
A Golden Retriever exhibiting intermittent involuntary movements of the head and neck muscles as a manifestation of a focal motor seizure. (See page 239 in the Manual)
2-year-old neutered Maltese bitch with continuous facial muscle movements and normal level of consciousness. (See page 119 in the Manual)

In this patient, a plant awn was located under the 10th rib. The foreign body is visible as a spindle-shaped hyperechoic structure with multiple parallel reflecting interfaces, surrounded by a hypoechoic halo representing oedematous tissue. The hyperechoic interface on the left of the screen corresponds to the pleural surface of the left caudal lung lobe (arrowheads). The lung gently moves during respiration. Comet tail artefacts are visible at the lung surface.
This dog was presented with a fistula in the zygomatic region. A porcupine spine was located in the deep part of the temporal muscle. The foreign body appears as a hyperechoic pointed structure with sharp margins. The tip of the foreign body (on the right of the screen) is in contact with the hyperechoic bone surface of the coronoid process of the mandible. The temporal muscle is inhomogeneous due to the inflammatory process.
This clip shows functional ileus in a dog with haemorrhagic gastroenteritis. The normal canine ileocaecal junction is seen in the first part of the clip, followed by the stomach and small intestines. The ileocaecal junction appears as a wagon wheel in cross-section and can be found by tracing the colon to the ascending portion and caecum, or by identifying the ileum on the right side of the abdomen medial to the duodenum. In this dog the small intestines are mild to moderately dilated with anechoic fluid in the lumen and show no sign of peristalsis. Any cause of functional ileus will cause this ultrasonographic appearance.
