Webinar Overview
Kittens are very fragile beings that require immediate and intensive care in the face of a medical emergency. Conditions that will leave an adult cat only mildly ill or uncomfortable can quickly become life-threatening for a neonatal or young kitten. Neonatology and early kittenhood are often overlooked topics during veterinary medical education and continuing education opportunities, leaving both the recent graduate and the seasoned practitioner without the necessary knowledge of how to handle various emergencies commonly seen in kittens.
This talk will discuss how to recognize, diagnose and make treatment recommendations for several types of emergencies including ocular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, parasitic, congenital and traumatic. These emergencies, while varying in levels of urgency as well as ease of treatment, all often involve a kitten that is just days to weeks old.
As the nation adopts a no-kill outlook to animal rescue, it is only expected that more kittens will be seen in veterinary hospitals, making it very important for veterinary practitioners to be empowered to have frank, honest conversations with their clients on treatment recommendations and prognosis, whether they be rescue organizations or good Samaritans of the general public. As early veterinary intervention is almost always required, this tiny, vulnerable population deserves a chance to survive by being evaluated and treated appropriately.
