Heart Murmurs & Coughing in Dogs & Cats TimeOnline
Spinal disease is a common clinical presentation in veterinary practice. It is however a misconception that these conditions can only be managed by veterinary specialists.
This course aims to provide practitioners with a sound, evidence-based approach to dealing with heart murmurs in dogs and cats.
Facilitated by Fleur James, an internal medicine specialist, and specialist radiologist Zoe Lenard, this course covers your approach to an orderly diagnosis of murmurs using the tools you have available in practice, specifically recognizing the differences between dogs and cats.
Differentiation of cardiac and non-cardiac causes of coughing as well as diagnosing cardiomegaly and heart failure on radiographs should be possible at the conclusion of this practical TimeOnline course.
