Lungworm infections are becoming an increasingly relevant problem within small animal veterinary practice. In this practical and clinically oriented webinar, you will receive an up-to-date overview of the most important lungworms occurring in dogs and cats.
Special attention is given to Angiostrongylus vasorum in dogs. We discuss its occurrence and epidemiology, the possible clinical signs—which are often highly variable and sometimes atypical—and the diagnostic options. In addition, the different treatment options and practical considerations for the follow-up of these patients are also covered.
Besides Angiostrongylus vasorum, other lungworms in dogs are also discussed, providing a complete overview of the most important parasites that can cause respiratory symptoms. Part of the presentation is also devoted to lungworm infections in cats, with attention to the most common parasites, their clinical presentation, and the diagnostic approach.
This hands-on webinar is strongly practice-oriented and offers concrete tools to recognize lungworm infections in a timely manner, diagnose them correctly, and treat them adequately. After completing this course, you will be fully up to date on lungworms in dogs and cats and will be able to manage these conditions with greater confidence in daily practice.
The course lasts approximately 3 hours.
