Snake envenomation is a common reason for presentation of dogs and cats to Australian veterinary clinics, yet diagnosis and treatment continue to be challenging in some cases. Fortunately there has been an explosion of veterinary research in recent years, providing us with more evidence than ever to guide our patient management. This webinar will review the standard approach to diagnosis of envenomation and review the potential sequelae of envenomation. Treatment, with a focus on antivenom therapy, and current controversies will also be discussed.
