Puppies and kittens are not just small adult dogs and cats, their unique physiology requires a unique approach to their management. This lecture will review normal paediatric physiology so as to provide a background that leads into discussion of an approach to common paediatric emergencies.
Fluid requirements and nutrition will be a particular focus. Additionally, specific disease states will be reviewed including neonatal sepsis, juvenile hypoglycaemia, neonatal isoerythrolysis, and
infectious diseases affecting puppies and kittens.
