COURSE DESCRIPTION
On a scale from 1 to 10…
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.
