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.

This clip shows a right parasternal short-axis view of the heart of a cat. The aorta is the round structure in the centre of the heart, with the right ventricle wrapped around it at the top of the screen. A small VSD (10 o’clock position) at the level of the left ventricular outflow tract is present. Turbulent blood flow can be seen to cross the defect into the right ventricle. The position of the defect and the turbulence of the flow indicate that the defect is perimembranous and restrictive.
A right parasternal long-axis outflow view of the same cat as in Ventricular septal defect (1). A turbulent jet of blood is seen crossing from the left ventricle into the right ventricle just below the aortic valve.
This dog has a left-sided head tilt and is leaning/falling to the left. This is consistent with a vestibular ataxia. (See page 7 in the Manual)
A cat with vestibular disease exhibiting a profoundly vestibular ataxic gait and circling. A head tilt can also be seen in this cat. (See page 195 in the Manual)
Scanning a blood smear at 10–20 and 50X magnifications for identification of large platelet clumps.
Utilizing the edge of a glass slide to gently puncture and transfer pustule contents on to another microscope slide.
Pin bone – How to palpate pin bone width to estimate lay in hens.
How to perform a manual platelet estimate.
Primary coelomic disease – Respiratory clinical signs shown by a bird with primary coelomic disease.
Repeatedly pressing tape on to the skin surface, ensuring thorough sampling with at least six repetitions.
Alternatively, applying tape on to the skin for a brief duration yields similar results.
The slides are dipped sequentially into the first solution 12 times/12 secs, 6 times/6 secs into the second solution and 12 times/12 secs into the third solution. Then rinse the sample and dry it gently with a paper towel.
Coelom – Post-mortem evaluation of a bird with fluid identified on coelom palpation.
Applying a drop of Methylene Blue Stain on to a microscope slide, allowing it to spread. Then, pressing tape against the slide to remove excess stain and eliminate excess stain with a paper towel.
