Led by Dr Suzanne Tso, this session covers the recognition, triage, and early management of traumatic brain and spinal injuries in small animals, with a strong emphasis on preventing secondary injury and protecting neurological function.
We will review practical neurological assessment techniques, airway/breathing/circulation priorities, safe fluid and analgesia protocols, seizure control, and ICP-friendly nursing strategies. Key diagnostics and monitoring tools suitable for general practice will be highlighted, along with guidance on when to pursue advanced imaging or referral.
Evidence-based prognostic scores (MGCS & ATT), communication tips for owners, and common pitfalls will be discussed, supported by real-world case examples to enhance clinical confidence.
