Small animal toxicology is an ever-changing field – with new prescription pharmaceuticals, new recreational drugs, and new toxins becoming available with remarkable frequency – and the development of new or novel therapies also taking place. With all of this change, it can be hard to keep up.
This exciting 2-week intensive course is designed to help you – the busy veterinarian – keep up-to-date in this important field. We will review the recent literature, to deliver to you, concise and accurate current recommendations for the management of a wide range of toxicities seen in both dogs and cats. Featuring webinar-based tutorials, extensive notes, treatment algorithms and much more – this is a course you won’t want to miss.
This week, we’ll review the latest literature on the use of intravenous lipid emulsion therapy and other novel antidotes in the treatment of a wide range of toxins in small animal practice. We’ll also take time to review the use of long-standing therapies such as activated charcoal, cathartics and gastrointestinal binding agents - so you can be sure you are using the right medication, and the right time, to help your poisoned patient.
This week is all about the toxins - from new prescription medications, to the latest illicit drug toxicities, through to rare and bizarre toxins you may have forgotten about - we’ll bring you the latest information on how to recognise, diagnose and treat the newest toxins in dogs and cats!
