Course Description

Maladaptive pain is an important topic of conversation as better treatments are becoming available in pet pain management.

Internationally double board-certified in Analgesia and Animal Welfare, Dr. Sheliah Roberston shares a host of new ketamine research that earns it a spot in peri-operative protocols to reduce and prevent “wind up” pain. Then, we’ll switch gears to integrate effective non-drug therapies that are tried and true.

Through this IntroVet® Academy on-demand course, you’ll earn 2 hours of RACE Approved CE. Upon successfully passing the final assessment (quiz), you’ll receive an instantly downloadable CE Certificate.
