Semakin meluasnya permukiman manusia, mendorong terjadinya domestifikasi hewan-hewan liar, yakni hewan yang seharusnya hidup di alam bebas kini justru menjadi hewan peliharaan. Hewan-hewan ini dapat digolongkan sebagai hewan eksotik. Secara umum, pengertian hewan eksotik mengacu pada spesies hewan yang tidak lazim dipelihara manusia.  Namun, karena ketidaktahuan manusia, hewan-hewan yang baru diambil dari alam bebas ini berpotensi membawa bibit penyakit yang dapat ditularkan pada manusia. Dalam hal inilah dokter hewan yang menangani hewan-hewan eksotik sangat dibutuhkan.

00:00In Indonesia, maybe the mystic information is related to, for example, the white crocodile or the white snake, which is basically from a genetic point of view, it is a genetic difference.

00:31First, you need to know the condition of the animal, you need to know how to take care of it, and then you can buy it.

00:43Both the vet and the animal are taking care of the human health, but by treating the animal that can possibly infect the human.

01:01Introduce yourself

01:06My name is Muhammad Lutfi Akbar, usually called Dr. Akbar. I am a veterinarian or an animal doctor who dives exotic pets.

01:17When did you start diving exotic animals?

01:21When did I start diving exotic animals? It started when I was in college, maybe in 2014, when I started diving exotic pets.

01:32But for the first time, I've liked exotic pets for a long time, since I was in junior high school.

01:43Why did you start diving exotic pets?

01:45The reason is because I love exotic pets.

01:49Because, as far as I know, there are very few exotic pet doctors who want to treat exotic pets.

02:00So, I decided to become an exotic pet doctor.

02:05What is the difference between exotic and non-exotic?

02:08The meaning of exotic is different, it means that it is unusual to be kept by humans.

02:18Now, there are more and more pets that are not kept by humans.

02:24So, they are called exotic pets.

02:26How do you take care of your pets?

02:28I take care of reptiles, birds, chickens, and fish.

02:38At the moment, there are a lot of pets that are being kept by humans.

02:48How do you take care of your pets?

02:57What is zoonosis?

03:00Zoonosis is the transmission of diseases from animals to humans.

03:07So, there are infectious agents brought from animals that can be transmitted to humans.

03:14For example, salmonella, toxoplasma, and rabies.

03:21In addition to dogs, rabies is also found in many exotic animals.

03:27It can be found in musang and otter.

03:30In Indonesia, rabies is a result of natural capture.

03:34It is possible to be bitten, and it can be transmitted to humans.

03:41How do you take care of your pets?

03:45In this condition, with many exotic pets being kept,

03:52it is also possible that zoonosis can be transmitted to humans.

03:58So, the role of veterinarians here is to limit or reduce the possibility of zoonosis being transmitted.

04:06So, you can ask your pets' veterinarian before doing zoonosis.

04:14What are the most common reptiles that are kept by humans?

04:17For now, the most common reptile is the tortoise.

04:22There are also many reptiles that are kept by humans.

04:25For example, in reptiles, there are a lot of reptiles such as

04:30jaguars, iguanas, bearded dragons.

04:33There are also a lot of snakes.

04:35Snakes are not the same as before, but they still exist.

04:40There are also a lot of birds, such as Macaw,

04:45Kakatua, and Paru Bengkok.

04:48Nowadays, there are a lot of hobbyists who fly to free-fly,

04:53and then they are called to come back.

04:56There are still a lot of Ocean birds.

04:59So, that's more or less what is often brought to our clinic.

05:03What is the most common reptile that is kept by humans?

05:08This is a diamondback terrapin.

05:12It is almost the same as the Brazilian turtle.

05:17If we want to open the internal organ,

05:20we have to cut the lower carapace,

05:25open it, then turn it over,

05:28and then we cover it with an anti-water glue.

05:30What is this?

05:32This is actually a collection of urethra.

05:35So, basically, for the Sulcata turtle,

05:39it produces urethra.

05:41Urethra is the result of the filtration of the spleen,

05:44where the reptile produces calcium.

05:48So, the calcium is not all absorbed.

05:50There are calcium residues that accumulate in the bladder.

05:54This is the factor of the maintenance error.

05:56So, basically, for the Sulcata turtle,

05:58what is needed is a high serum.

06:00But mostly, for the Sulcata turtle,

06:03it feeds on vegetables,

06:05where the vegetables are high in calcium.

06:08So, the more calcium is eaten,

06:11the more urethra results.

06:13When there are more urethra,

06:15and it accumulates into one, it becomes a stone.

06:18This is called a hard stone.

06:20In Indonesia, maybe the mystic information

06:24is related to, for example, the white crocodile,

06:27or the white snake.

06:29Basically, from a genetic point of view,

06:31it is a genetic difference.

06:33For example, the white snake can be an albino.

06:36From the information I got,

06:39in the 1980s,

06:41there was a snake researcher from America to Indonesia.

06:44He already got the information

06:46that the white snake can be an albino.

06:48From the information I got,

06:50in the 1980s,

06:52there was a snake researcher from America to Indonesia.

06:55He already got the information

06:57that the white snake can be an albino.

06:59In Indonesia, there are still a lot of people

07:01who say, oh, that's the white snake.

07:03And now, there are a lot,

07:05and it has become a mob that is quite a lot.

07:07Basically, the types of snakes

07:09that are bred abroad

07:11are mostly from Indonesia or Asia.

07:13More precisely, like that.

07:15So, maybe that's what makes us

07:16an animal that we can develop first,

07:19because the idea is here,

07:21but developed by foreigners.

07:23Because maybe the information,

07:25there is a custom that says

07:27the white snake is waiting for this,

07:29or the white snake's nest,

07:31or the white baby's nest.

07:33Actually, it's a genetic difference

07:35that there is a theory

07:37that we can explain like that.

07:43The most important tip is

07:44that we have to have information

07:47about the animal that we want to keep first.

07:50For example,

07:52if we want to keep an albino,

07:54we have to know first

07:56where they come from,

07:58where they live,

08:00what their food menu looks like,

08:02what their natural behavior looks like,

08:04if they are active in the morning or at night,

08:08what their food menu looks like.

08:10We have to know first

08:12what their condition looks like.

08:14Then,

08:16by treatment and so on,

08:18we can buy them.

08:20So, we have to prepare first

08:22their equipment,

08:24their needs,

08:26then we can buy them.

08:28Life is related to each other,

08:30between humans and animals.

08:32In a way,

08:35we live side by side with animals.

08:38We take care of animals,

08:40stay healthy,

08:42stay good.

08:44Animals also play a big role

08:47in human health.

08:50So,

08:52doctors and animals

08:54take care of each other

08:56in terms of human health,

08:58but by treating animals

09:00that may infect humans.

09:02That's it.
