Description

Tick and toad patients are the bread and butter of emergency practice in South-East QLD. They can seem routine because most do well with treatment straight from a clinical protocol. The worst 5% are the opposite. These patients epitomise the term ‘critical’. They present multiple challenges to the emergency vet, and treatment needs to be individually tailored. In this webinar I’ll talk about some of my sickest patients, how we managed them, where I think we could have done better, and what I’m planning next time. Absolutely critical toad patients make up about 1% of the presentations, and in tick paralysis it’s about 10%. There’s just not enough cases for clinical studies to be valuable, so collaboration is the first step in improving current standards of treatment. I hope this webinar is valuable for all of us.
