COURSE DESCRIPTION
Fragile No More!
Although we may not think about it often, skeletal muscle density and synthesis plays a critical role in the health of veterinary patients. Loss of muscle can have a significant impact on a multitude of functions, reduce quality of life and even be a leading cause of injury and death. We’ve likely all loved and cared for a sweet, senior pet at some point in our lives, and experienced the sadness that comes as they slowly lose strength and mobility.
What if we could help them stay active and mobile longer? Rehabilitation Specialist, Dr. Carrie Britt, will show us how! Register today for an energizing, one-hour exploration into the links between muscle mass and longevity, skeletal muscle physiology, and treatment strategies to build and maintain muscle in injured and aging pets.
This session is a must-watch for anyone interested in senior care, sports medicine, or rehab! Register for free today!
We’re excited to offer this course for FREE, thanks to the support of Virbac!
