Topic: Triage and resuscitation of the canine and feline neonate.
Presented by one of BBVSH’s board-certified criticalists, Meghan Harmon, DVM, DACVECC, this presentation focuses on a case based approach to learning successful triage and resuscitation of the canine and feline neonate. First, Dr. Harmon will outline how to take a good history when working with critical neonates before reviewing how to perform a thorough physical examination (including normal and abnormal exam findings). By focusing on 2 critical care cases, you’ll then be introduced to the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in neonates. In working through these cases, you’re invited to evaluate normal and abnormal laboratory findings, and learn how to properly treat these conditions.
