Exotic companion animals often present to the veterinary hospital in distress, sometimes before the owner even realizes something is wrong.

Join Christina Miller, AHT, RVT, B.Sc. (Ag. Env. Sci), VTS (CP-Exotics), for a three-part masterclass series focused on emergency medicine for exotic mammals, birds, and reptiles.

Each session will review common emergency presentations and cover initial triage (obtaining vitals and determining if the pet is stable), stabilization (supportive care, vascular access, and airway access), and how to proceed with CPR in the event of cardiac arrest.
