Virtual DVM Masterclass – May 21, 2024, from Noon to 1pm – Don’t Get Stuck! How to Differentiate and Treat Gastrointestinal Stasis and Obstruction in Rabbits with Lauren Powers.

Dr. Lauren Powers, will present this one hour virtual CE. Gastrointestinal stasis and obstruction are both common and potentially life-threatening conditions in rabbits but are managed quite differently. Exam findings and results from biochemistry testing and imaging can help differentiate the two conditions. While the treatment for both disorders is typically nonsurgical, each has different treatment options that can help improve the odds of a favorable clinical outcome.
