Programme overview
In this session, our trainers Emma Tobin and Sheila Brennan will deliver a problem-based approach to the investigation and management of diseases of the thorax including cough and dyspnoea in dogs and cats. We will start with the clinical approach to these problems with differential diagnoses followed by imaging modalities used and treatment.
At the end of this session, delegates should be able to create a problem-based list of differentials, create a diagnostic plan and interpret results and then provide appropriate treatment.
This course will suit vets at all levels looking to further their skills and knowledge in this area. Delegate places are limited to 20.
