Molly Varga Smith and Craig Tessyman team up at London Vet Show to improve clinical outcomes for small pets

Molly Varga Smith BVetMed DZooMed (Mammalian) MRCVS, RCVS Recognised Specialist in Zoo and Wildlife Medicine and Veterinary Advisor to Supreme Petfoods, will be presenting a talk at the London Vet Show on Thursday 20th November.  Entitled “Dealing With Medical and Surgical Cases in Rabbits and Small Mammals: Practical Tips for Enhancing Wellness of Small Pets in the Veterinary Clinic,” the talk will take place from 12:50–13:40 in Gallery Suite 22.

The session, sponsored by Supreme Petfoods, will also feature Craig Tessyman CertAPVN(Zoo) DipVNZS RVN, Exotics Nurse at The Exotic Animal Vets, Manchester. Together, Molly and Craig will use case examples to explore how environmental, nutritional, and enrichment strategies can support recovery and improve outcomes in rabbits, guinea pigs and other small pets.

Molly says, “When rabbits and rodents are admitted for treatment, it’s easy to focus solely on the presenting condition. Yet their recovery depends on more than resolving a clinical issue – it also depends on meeting their nutritional and environmental needs throughout care. In this session, we’ll share practical tips and show how thoughtful, species-appropriate support can transform outcomes.”

Molly Varga Smith is Head Vet at The Exotic Animal Vets, an independent specialist practice caring for exotic species. She is widely recognised for her expertise in rabbit medicine and surgery and has contributed extensively to veterinary education in exotic animal care.

Claire Hamblion, Marketing Director at Supreme Petfoods, said, “We’re delighted to have Molly back at the London Vet Show. Her experience and insight are invaluable – she and Craig always offer clear, practical takeaways drawn from their wealth of combined experience. It’s a must-see session for any vet who has small pets on their consult list.”

The talk, which counts for one hour of CPD, will be held on 20th November at 12.50pm in the Gallery Suite 22. For those unable to attend the live event, a recorded version of the presentation will be available on the Supreme Vet Zone.
