About this event
Pain Management in Cats - a panel discussion
How do general practitioners manage pain in cats? How should we manage pain in cats? What do you do to manage pain in cats? Instead of the normal lecture based format, this session will be a discussion to help improve your care of cats in a practical way without the unnecessary theory. We will cover pain assessment, the environment, medications we can use and acute and chronic pain.
Be a part of this panel discussion with 2 cat loving vets & a nurse, by sharing your thoughts and experiences in the chat.
