Fluid therapy is one of the most common treatments we reach for in our hospitalised patients - but is it as simple as '2 x maintenance'?
In this hour-long webinar, together we'll discuss how fluids are normally distributed across the body, and what happens when this balance is disrupted. We'll look at how to spot the signs of dehydration and hypovolaemia, as well as how to quantify those losses and make a replacement plan. We'll look at the different fluid types and when they're used, as well as their considerations and contraindications. Lastly, we’ll talk about our nursing considerations for patients receiving fluid therapy, and how to monitor these patients to make sure our fluids are having the desired effect.

During this session we will discuss assessment and management of the traumatic patient. Trauma is a common presentation within general practice, so the brief overview will help improve identification of problems early on. We will then move onto discussing diaphragmatic ruptures, including: pathophysiology, diagnosis, per-operative management and surgical management for these cases. Within the session I have included several tips I personally use to try to help maximise the outcome and reduce the stress when managing these cases.

UK cats and dogs are exposed to a wide range of parasites such as fleas, Toxocara spp, Echinococcus granulosus, Angiostrongylus vasorum and tick-borne pathogens which may cause significant disease in pets or present zoonotic risks to owners. Parasite prevention is therefore essential to reduce these disease risks and to avoid erosion of the human-animal bond. Effective parasite control will also bond clients to the practice where future advice and parasite prevention will then be more likely to be sought. These benefits need to be balanced against potential environmental contamination with parasiticides and other concerns such as drug resistance. This webinar will consider these issues and their relation to responsible parasiticide use.

Soft tissue sarcomas are quite a common presentation in practice, representing 15% of all tumours we see. They encompass a diverse group of tumours, often growing in anatomical locations that make a straight forward excision and closure with the desired 2-3cm lateral margins not possible. This webinar will explore how sarcomas behave, the different management options we could consider and then we will take a photographic journey through patients with sarcomas in different anatomical locations to see how they have been managed in practice.

Patellar luxation, especially medial patellar luxation, is a common orthopaedic condition we find in small animals. Although it could be traumatic, it is most frequently a developmental condition associated with various anatomical abnormalities, leading to different degrees of luxation and clinical signs. This webinar is focused on medial patellar luxation, and we will review the anatomical features of this condition, clinical signs we may observe, diagnostic imaging findings, including bone deformities and their evaluation, as well as management options. This lecture will also briefly cover other conditions we may find in the stifle, such as collateral ligament injury, stifle luxation, long digital extensor luxation or OCD.
