Covering feline and canine respiratory infections, you will learn about the infections, presentation, critical care, client advice and disease prevention! There’s more too – with practice protocols for correct isolation and disinfection of your clinic to prevent the spread of these important diseases!
This week will be HUGE – with parvovirus, bacterial infections, feline gastrointestinal infections and more! Practice protocols, the latest vaccination advice and critical care will be covered in what is sure to be a hugely informative and exciting week of learning!
From cystitis to leptospirosis, pyelonephritis to transmissible venereal tumour, this week will look at what to do when animals have signs of urinary discomfort caused by infection – including what to look for in urine tests (and how to prepare them!) and much more!
The big ones this week are botulism and tetanus – but there are others as well, like toxoplasma and neospora! We will look at how these patients present, what happens to the patients’ nervous systems, and importantly, how your nursing care can save lives! We will finish off the course with practice treatment protocols, developed especially for this course!
