The aim of this course is to give veterinarians in private practice an update of basic current diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities of common feline respiratory and cardiac problems. Heart murmurs, coughing, dyspnea, ascites or arrhythmias – how should these problems be worked up and treated? The answers to these questions will be provided by presenting lectures about diagnostics such as radiography, ECG sessions, heart murmurs, bronchoscopy, biomarkers, BAL and much more as well as the latest updates about treatment options. All this mixed with interactive case presentations.
