This two‑hour masterclass offers a rare and engaging insight into sloth medicine, led by the highly respected Andrés S. Brautigam—widely known as “The Sloth Vet.” Drawing on years of dedicated work with these remarkable animals, he guides participants through essential topics including taxonomy, metabolism, nutrition, and best practices for care in captivity. The session also provides detailed instruction on key clinical skills, covering anatomical adaptations, normal parameters, transfaunation techniques, sedation considerations, and the most common health challenges seen in managed environments.
Although many veterinarians in zoological collections encounter sloths, it is often infrequently. Andrés’ extensive hands‑on experience and deep species knowledge offer invaluable context and confidence for clinicians working with these unique mammals. His engaging teaching style and passion for sloth welfare make the session both informative and highly enjoyable.
This training is an essential resource for any veterinarian involved in the care of sloths within zoological collections.
