Who is this helping, you may as well just have a cute rabbit photo on the slide :/

(My understanding is that the move is now towards medical management of liver lobe torsions (I assume this is what this is about) unless there's evidence of bleeding? I hate those surgeries :/ )

QRP with your skull art! πŸ’€

Not easy to choose one, I love painting skulls. This piece is Rabbit Reaper - oil and 24 karat gold leaf on panel. Sold to private collection.

Extraordinarily refreshing to see a veterinary organisation not using AI in its promo material, oh my god

(I think VIN has had AI stuff in the past which has made me tear my hair out but look how cute that mascot is. This is what we stand to lose)

As the #YearoftheHorse begins, I will share an overview of my recent journey through reconstructing prehistoric horses. For such an important, beloved, and fascinating lineage, there isn't an abundance of paleoart of them (and very little that diverges from established tropes)🧡. #paleoart #sciart

A photo of a rabbit skull in lateral view, showing some epic dental disease.  Red arrows point to the apices of elongated upper cheek teeth, which erupt into the eye socket, nose and cheekbone.  Blue arrows point to erroded bubbles in the mandible, with gnarled and irregular teeth doing their best at growing a wearing surface.  The cheek teeth meet in an irregular zigzag and one incisor corkscrews dramatically out of the mouth

A coda, here is a skull I have which shows dental elongation (red arrows) and abscess changes (blue arrows). Obviously there's a need for simplified diagrams in teaching, but if the cost of making it look clean is it being incomprehensible slop maybe we just just crappily freehand it

Anyway I'm probably doing a talk at this year's UPAV on skeletal preparation and the value of educational specimens in clinic. This wasn't meant to be a promo for that and it's not even confirmed but man am I fired up

In its defence, I cropped it weirdly and that's more of a side-diagram illustrating that they're finding lung pathology in dental rabbits when they CT chests. Which! Is really useful information!

A photo of two rabbits, lounging against one another.  The one on the left is black, a largely shapeless lump with a tiny head and wide eyes.  The one on the right is a white fluffy cartoon of a rabbit with big fluffy feet extended out behind him and a broad pink nose

Producing 'diagrams' like this ruins our credibility to others in our industry, which we need to not be doing, because these patients need us to help provide tools and education that will improve their care

Students, new grads and established vets (GP and exotics trained) deserve to have resources to expand our knowledge on looking after these creatures. AI 'diagrams' make it harder to learn these concepts by giving us incorrect ways to visualise disease

So why do I care? Well, you see, I am so very fucking autistic. But also we are such a niche part of the industry, and educational accessibility is so so important in an area of #VetMed which is under-taught at uni

A diagram of an alleged rabbit skull, obviously generated by AI.  The skull is in a slightly oblique lateral view to show the far side dental arcades.  The skull itself is an absolute anatomical mess in a way that completely undermines the authority and knowledge of the lecturer.  Most egregiously it has human molars.  The lecture is about dental disease in rabbits

The molars in this diagram are even more human, with the upper ones being tricuspid.  The snout is shorter and the mandible has a pronounced swooping process rostral to the jaw joint, more typical in large herbivores such as deer and horses

A different diagram of an alleged rabbit skull from a different lecture and a different veterinary organisation, obviously generated by AI.  This diagram is more laterally aligned and the roots of the teeth are not depicted, but there are arrows pointing towards the occlusal surfaces of the cheek teeth in an illegible swoopy way. The eyes are particularly tiny and the maxillary process in front of the jaw joint extra high.  The articular surface for the neck to attach is much too caudally located, meaning that this animal would hold its neck much more horizontally than a rabbit does

It's hallucinating weird rodenty infraorbital foramen along the snout and hooked mandibular ramen with high, deer-like coronoid processes. Flat heads with large, robust paracondylar processes for neck muscles to attach to. And just so many fucked up teeth

A photo of a rabbit skull, trying to hold it at a comparable angle to the AI 'diagram'.  It has a much more robust lower jaw, a huge eye socket and a cheekbone which sweeps low over the upper teeth and far back along the upper jaw.  A red arrow points to a small bony bump extending from the front of the eye socket, and a blue arrow points to a brow ridge extending from the top of the socket

So there aren't enough teeth and the teeth that are there are wrong, what else is wrong with this 'diagram'? Well, it's not a rabbit.

The orbit is too small, the jaw is too weak. It's missing the lacrimal bone (red arrow) and the supraorbital process

Peg teeth make lagomorphs extra impressive shearing machines, bracing the lower incisors for more efficient slicing against the upper primary ones and helping maintain that cutting edge which allows pet rabbits to eat power cords with effortless proficiency

They also have two more upper cheek teeth per upper arcade and one more per lower arcade than rodents, but they're not as cool as peg teeth are

So the teeth are wrong, that's step one. There also aren't enough.

Lagomorphs characteristically have an additional tooth behind their primary incisors on the top jaw. This is called the peg tooth and it's a feature which differentiates them from rodents.
