An Approach to the Dyspnoeic Cat

An Approach to the Dyspnoeic Cat

From acute presentation to chronic therapy, cats with respiratory disease have the potential to present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Familiarity with how to approach a dyspnoeic cat is invaluable in an emergency setting. Techniques that help a minimally invasive localisation of the problem can facilitate effective stabilization before stressful investigations are considered. This webinar will review how we recognise different patterns of dyspnoea, and will discuss some suggestions for immediate management. Past and recent literature highlighting tests which help to identify the cause of acute dyspnoea will be included. Finally inflammatory lower airway disease will be briefly reviewed, with a focus on atypical presentations and tips to safely investigate these feline patients.
