Learn MoreCourse Description
Bubbly Bostons and panting Frenchies present unique challenges for anesthesia that lead to increased mortality rates.
When you hear snorting in the lobby during the morning surgical check-ins, do you start to sweat a little? Brachycephlic breeds are more popular than ever, but their signature aesthetic complicates routine procedures and often requires corrective surgery.
This free, 90-minute session shares new, proven techniques to improve anesthetic success for our stout snout patients, both canine and feline! We’ll discuss physiological obstacles and ways to mitigate disaster with easy preventive strategies.
Through this free IntroVet® On-Demand Course, you'll earn 1.5 hours of RACE Approved CE. Upon successfully passing the assessment (quiz), you'll receive an instantly downloadable CE Certificate.

What vets are saying
Trusted by 35,000+ veterinary professionals
★★★★★
The real-world tips and doses. The detail-oriented notes and slides to fall back on later so we didn't have to frantically scribble notes. Even the personalities and clear talent for teaching that both speakers possess. Wish I had them (and these lectures) in vet school!
★★★★★
The videos and case presentations were helpful to put all the info into practice. The links to study papers are also super helpful to help educate team members unable to attend and provide evidence based strategies for establishing or changes SOPs. YAY!!
