The evening seminar, which will touch on current issues and management of tracheal collapse in canine patients, will take place in Room 2115 from 7 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday evening, October 16.
Tracheal collapse is a chronic, progressive disease of the trachea (windpipe). The condition occurs when the C-shaped rings of cartilage in the trachea weaken and begin to flatten out.
Small breed dogs such as Yorkshire terriers, Pomeranians, poodles and Chihuahuas are most commonly affected by the disease. Other risk factors include obesity, middle or older age and living with owners who smoke.
Four faculty members will cover the topic for local veterinarians and WCVM alumni, veterinary students and other interested members of the public. The four clinicians include:
Following the one-hour seminar, participants are invited to take a tour of the newly renovated Veterinary Medical Centre (small animal facilities) and to meet new WCVM clinicians, residents and clinical interns during an informal reception in the WCVM's buffeteria.
If you would like to attend the CE event, please RSVP to Jackie Bahnmann (306-966-7108) by Monday, Oct. 15.
