Managing a seizing patient is one of the most high-pressure situations in veterinary practice. This course is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge to navigate these emergencies with confidence. You will begin by exploring the different types of seizures and their underlying causes, learning to identify the specific stages of a seizure event—from the pre-ictal phase through to the post-ictal period.
The course provides practical guidance on effective triage and the immediate support required for distressed clients during the initial event. You will study recommended emergency treatment protocols and the intensive nursing care and monitoring necessary while a patient is hospitalised. Beyond the acute phase, the training focuses on long-term client support, including the implementation of nurse-led clinics to help owners manage their pets' conditions at home. Finally, you will be encouraged to evaluate your current practice protocols, ensuring your team is following the most up-to-date evidence-based standards.
