Course Information:
Do you love toxicology cases when they come to your hospital and want to obtain a deeper understanding of what is happening, what we’re doing, and why? Or do you hate toxicology and hope another veterinary technician is assigned to the case, but low-key wish you understood them better? Either way, this is the course for you!

• Understand how to take a thorough and appropriate history for a toxicology patient
• Understand and differentiate the major types of rodenticides that are available
• Understand treatment and monitoring recommendations for several common toxins

RACE Accreditation: This program has been RACE approved for 4.5 hours of continuing education credit for veterinary technicians/technologists in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval. (20-1160082)

Week 2 (Real Time Session April 9): Your Pet Ate What?
Building on the previous session, we’ll examine some common things pets eat that, while they are considered toxic, are of much less concern. Conversely, we’ll also look at some of the more severe agents we encounter in veterinary medicine.

Week 3 (Real Time Session April 16): Rodenticides
This last session is dedicated solely to rodenticides. Why? Because they are a top-3 call for the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center year after year, and knowledge about their differences and identification is crucial.
