COURSE DESCRIPTION
Better practices for a brighter future
The landscape of animal reproductive health has changed over time, and it’s time to move past old “one size fits all” mentalities. This 3-part video series will answer the many questions asked of practitioners every day: Should I wait to spay this dog? Is this prostate normal? Does a pyometra always need to be cut? Join our expert panel of specialists for a tour in theriogenology foundations. We’ll discuss the impacts of ethical breeding practices, heritable disease screening options, practice neonatal care, and cover all the options for dystocia and pyometra treatment. With a final lecture on spay/neuter surgical tips, this course offers a wider scope of practice that applies in litter-ally every general practitioner’s clinic!
Through this IntroVet® Certificate Program, you’ll earn 11.5 hours of RACE Approved CE. Upon successfully passing the final assessment (quiz), you’ll receive an instantly downloadable CE Certificate, as well as a professional Certificate for display in your hospital.
Your Display Certificate will be mailed within 30 days following completion of the program and passage of each assessment.
