This article highlights techniques and equipment needed to successfully restrain, diagnose, and treat gastropods (including snails and slugs) and arthropods (including spiders, scorpions, honey-bees, cockroaches, silkworms, phasmids, centipedes, and millipedes). A review of current clinical techniques for invertebrates kept as pets and those kept for agricultural use is provided. The specific techniques of restraint, assessment of hydration, fluid therapy, diagnostic sampling, imaging, exoskeleton repair, ectoparasite control and removal, euthanasia, and postmortem examination are reviewed for use in the invertebrate patient. The authors intend this article to stimulate further research and reporting on appropriate and humane techniques for use in these species and to increase the ability of the veterinary practitioner to successfully attend to these animals.
本文重点介绍了成功约束、诊断和治疗腹足纲动物（包括蜗牛和蛞蝓）以及节肢动物（包括蜘蛛、蝎子、蜜蜂、蟑螂、蚕、竹节虫、蜈蚣和千足虫）所需的技术和设备。文中提供了对当前用于宠物和农业用途的无脊椎动物临床技术的综述。针对无脊椎动物患者，对约束、水合状态评估、液体疗法、诊断采样、成像、外骨骼修复、体外寄生虫控制与清除、安乐死以及尸体剖检等具体技术进行了综述。作者希望本文能激发对适用于这些物种的适当且人道技术的进一步研究和报告，并提高兽医成功照料这些动物的能力。
