TimeOnline OnDemand

Description

Rabbits and rodents are becoming increasingly common pets in today’s society. These patients have a profound, innate ability to mask signs of disease. The consequence of this is that they frequently present in a critical condition and require emergency care. This ability to hide clinical illness, combined with their small size and susceptibility to significant stress, can make them challenging creatures to treat.   This course aims to introduce the veterinary clinician to the principles of assessment, triage and stabilisation of rabbit and rodent emergencies. The first module outlines physical exam and diagnostic testing in critical patients. The second module discusses clinical consequences encountered in critical patients and their appropriate management.   The ultimate goal of this course is to improve the knowledge and confidence of veterinarians when faced with rabbit and rodent emergencies and empower them to provide a higher level of care to these species.

Risks & Benefits of Neutering Dogs WebinarLIVE!

Wednesday, 23 August 2023

Speaker/s: Mike Farrell

Online

WebinarLIVE!

Description

As veterinary surgeons, we’re responsible for helping people make choices on behalf of vulnerable animals. An informed choice to neuter requires a high degree of confidence that the long-term benefits outweigh the costs. To date, every published neutering risk study involves retrospective analysis of hospital records. These so-called observational studies are limited by one irrefutable fact. Although they can highlight correlations, observational studies cannot prove a causal relationship – and so far, dog neutering hasn’t received a fair trial because it hasn’t been afforded a proper defence. The highest profile observational study assessing neurtering is entitled Assisting Decision-Making on Age of Neutering for 35 Breeds of Dogs: Associated Joint Disorders, Cancers and Urinary Incontinence  Dr Farrell decided to tackle the assumptions made in this study based on his expertise as a specialist surgeon, his experience as a clinical researcher, his statistical literacy and the fact that working in referral practice, he has a level of independence given that he doesn’t perform neutering surgery. In this webinar, Dr Farrell will present an unbiased evidence-based risk-analysis of canine neutering. Don’t miss what promises to be an enlightening – and potentially controversial – event.
