Dr. Robert TRUJANOVICVideo time : 18 min + MCQDipl. ECVAARespiratory Anesthesiology and analgesia Hematology biochemistry
Teaching goals
- Arterial blood gas analysis helps determine: blood pH, blood oxygenation, and blood CO2 carriage
- Venous blood gas analysis can also tell about acid-base status.
- Regulation of pH is required because most biochemical (metabolic) reactions can only occur efficiently within a narrow pH range.
Teaching goals
- Being familiar with the most important clinical and examination features in patients presenting with epileptic seizures.
Teaching goals
- To know the function and some of the anatomic pathway of the facial and vestibulo-cochlear nerves.
- Having a glance at how we can visualise them on advanced imaging.
- Knowing the most important pathologies that may affect these cranial nerves, their clinical presentation, their diagnosis, treatment and outcome.
- Examples of studies, case series and case reports of facial and vestibulo-cochlear neuropathies published in the veterinary literature.
Teaching goals
- How to practice intraoral radiographs
- Which lesions are detectable with intraoral radiographs
- Radiographic interpretation and lesion recognition

Teaching goals
- Understand the difference between total and ionised calcium
- Understand the role of the key hormones involved in the calcium homeostasis
- Be able to interpret calcium, phosphorous, PTH and vitamin D levels in different clinical situations
Teaching goals
- Know the anatomy and physiology of the normal ear canal in horses
- Recognize otitis externa in horses
- Explore the cause of otitis externa in horses
Teaching goals
The objectives of this introduction to avian radiology are to learn the techniques of positioning birds in order to radiograph the various anatomical districts, and the peculiarities of avian anatomy compared to that of more conventional mammals.Teaching goals
- Epidural administration involves injecting a drug or drug combination into the epidural space—the space between the vertebral canal and dura mater.
- The term epidural anesthesia describes the injection of a local anesthetic into the epidural space, whereas epidural analgesia refers to the epidural administration of analgesics.
- In dogs and cats, epidural procedures are usually performed at the lumbosacral space.
Teaching goals
During this conference, we will review:
- how to do a good quality venipuncture and arterial puncture, what should be optimized to have consistent results
- how to make the most of the minimum database: Ht/PT, Lactates, glucoseTeaching goals
Alopecia is defined as the loss of hair in areas of the body where normal hair would be expected. Alopecia can represent a mere cosmetic problem with no risk to the patient, however, it can also occur as a consequence of an internal disease with potentially serious implications. As such, a methodical approach and an accurate diagnosis are prerequisites for the correct management of alopecia cases.
The first step in approaching alopecia is to assess whether the hair loss is primary and not associated with inflammation, or whether, on the contrary, it is due to self-trauma (broken hairs, erosions) or skin inflammation.
The clinical examination should, therefore, initially aim to identify signs of follicular inflammation and infection that must be differentiated from clinical alterations associated with non-inflammatory alopecic diseases. Erythema, papules, pustules, lichenification, self-trauma recognized by broken hairs, excoriations, erosions and ulcerations are suggestive of an inflammatory process associated with pruritus.
In the case of non-inflammatory alopecia, a mere cosmetic problem, with no risk to the patient, may be present, or the alopecia may be the manifestation of a systemic disease. In this case, there can be potentially serious consequences for the patient if the condition is not correctly identified and corrected.
With this class we intend to provide the appropriate tools for a correct identification of the clinical signs associated with the different types of alopecia, as well as for its correct diagnosis.Teaching goals

Dr. Marta KANTYKAVideo time : 14 min + MCQDipl. ECVAAEmergency and critical care Anesthesiology and analgesiaTeaching goals
- understanding the difficulty of this patient population and their risk factors
learning - how to chooose medications for emergnecy patients
- understanding the two key factors in emergency room anesthesia: prepardness and monitoring
Teaching goals
- If feather-plucking in birds is often frustrating for the vet, it is also because they are not normally addressed in depth.
- The objective of this short course on plucking is to frame a problem that is much wider than what is usually assumed.
- In fact, plucking can have organic, psychological and behavioral causes. We will try together to resolve this complicated issue a bit.
Teaching goals
