Virtual Event via Zoom


Wounds: Better or worse than they look?
Some wounds may look catastrophic but can be managed in the field and actually have a good prognosis. In other situations the wound may look insignificant but involves vital structures. Attendees will learn how to manage massive skin wounds, along with suture and immobilization techniques to promote repair. They will also learn techniques to identify if vital structures are involved which require more advanced intervention.

Complicated colics: Do more in the field.
Referral of complicated colic cases is not always an option. In this lecture attendees will learn how to implement advanced techniques such as enteral fluid therapy in lieu of IV, and trocharization to correct non strangulating lesions in the field.

Advanced Case Management: You can do it!
In this presentation a series of case examples will be used to illustrate management of advanced cases on the farm. Cases include massive hemorrhage, head wounds, head trauma, neonatal foals and neonatal resuscitation.
