Description
This webinar by two experienced practitioners will demonstrate the diagnosis and treatment of cardiorespiratory disorders in small mammals using a series of cases.
The species covered will include ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs and rats.
The cases will be varied and illustrate both upper and respiratory tract disease in these species as well as cardiac disease.
A range of diagnostic techniques will be demonstrated including radiography, ultrasonography, endoscopy, ECG and CT- these will show what can be accomplished in any practice as well as what is possible in more specialised practice.
Treatment and management will be discussed and special importance will be given to the role of husbandry as an underlying issue in such cases, and how this must be modified for successful outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- To understand how to manage cardiorespiratory disease in small mammals
- To understand the role of husbandry in the aetiology and management of these diseases
- To differentiate upper and lower respiratory tract disease and distinguish from cardiac disese
- To understand when these different options are applicable
- To understand the diagnostic options available in small mammal cases
