Course Focus and Learning Objectives

VetCE on Demand: Approach to Acute Respiratory Distress in Cats utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name.

Being presented with a cat in acute respiratory distress can be distressing for us. This course reviews a simple and systematic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of cats in respiratory distress. The focus is on localizing the problem within the respiratory tract which allows targeted diagnostics and early treatment.

At the end of the course participants should be able to:

  • explain how to localize respiratory disease in an individual cat to the relevant part of the respiratory tract
  • list appropriate differential diagnoses and diagnostic tests for respiratory diseases localized to different parts of the respiratory tract in cats
  • describe appropriate treatments for common respiratory diseases in cats
