OCT 13

Speaker: Philip Judge

Topic Description: The cat with an acute abdominal can present a unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenge – not least because a large number of cats with abdominal disease may not show outward symptoms of abdominal pain or discomfort at all! Join us as we investigate a sound approach to both diagnosing and managing acute abdominal disease in cats – from intestinal foreign bodies, to internal haemorrhage following trauma, and urinary tract rupture, and a whole lot more in-between!

Speaker: Sam Clutterbuck

Topic Description: Birds carry a higher anaesthetic mortality and morbidity rate than domestic pets, such as cats and dogs.

While there are many ways to help reduce this risk, emergencies will unfortunately happen. Being prepared with equipment, emergency drugs and doses and the knowledge to use them can mean the difference between life and death. This webinar will cover ways to prevent anaesthesia emergencies as well as how to react once an issue has become apparent.

OCT 14

Speaker: Vicky O’Grain

Topic Description: In this presentation you will learn how to structure and perform a nutritional consultation. We will learn how to address common questions that owners may ask. How to reinforce a veterinarian’s recommendation. How to implement the recommendation. How to calculate how much too feed and how long a bag will last. Plus how to follow up a consultation. We will follow Tiger’s case to see what can happen and how a nutritional counselor can be instrumental in assuring the correct diet and feeding amount is given by the pet owner resulting in a successful acceptance of a new food.

Speaker: Julie Ashton

Topic Description: In this webinar, we will discuss what stress is and why we should care about it for our feline patients. We will then examine some ways we can reduce stress – making life easier for us and the cats visiting our clinics. We will end having a look at ‘red flags’ which cats may present with in clinic which would warrant a behavioural assessment.

OCT 15

Speaker: Amy Newfield

Topic Description: Even if you do not work in an emergency clinic, the chances are you will have a hit-by-car pet come through your doors. The first 15 minutes of that pet’s arrival is the most important. Attendees will learn exactly what to do in what order when a hit by car pet comes through the doors. Triage, catheter selection, fluid therapy and more will be discussed.
