About the webinar

Veterinary surgeons are presented with vomiting patients almost on a daily basis in General Practice. One of the most common reasons for vomiting in a dog or cat is ingestion of a foreign body. Abdominal radiography is still the most useful diagnostic tool to rule in or out a gastrointestinal foreign body. In this lecture you will learn the characteristics to look for that will help you decide whether there is intestinal obstruction secondary to a foreign body. In those radiographs that are inconclusive, we discuss other diagnostic tools available to help make the decision about whether to “cut or not to cut”.
You will be able to join the live webinar directly from this page.
