Parvovirus unfortunately remains a frequently occurring infection in young dogs and cats and can lead to life-threatening disease. In this continuing education course, we focus on the diagnosis and treatment of this severe infection. How reliable are the tests currently available for parvovirus? How should their results be interpreted? And can these tests also be used in cats suspected of having this infection?
This training is practical and hands-on and will provide veterinarians and veterinary assistants with the necessary tools to treat animals with parvovirus with confidence. Particular attention is given to administering the correct amounts and types of fluid therapy. We also discuss how to manage complications such as hypoglycemia, septicemia, leukopenia, and others. In addition, we briefly review some of the potential new treatment options that are becoming available.
The training takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete and consists of several chapters, each containing a short video of a prerecorded PowerPoint presentation. Participants will also receive handouts of the complete course and a concise treatment protocol. Questions can be asked through the online forum.
