presentation overview

Dental diseases in dogs and cats are often underestimated in terms of their impact on the overall health and quality of life of pets. This lecture will increase understanding of how to recognize and assess dental pain, as well as stressing the importance of considering the psychological aspects of pain and how they can be addressed through the management of fear, anxiety, and stress. Additionally, delegates will learn strategies for developing a comprehensive pain management plan addressing preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative analgesia, as well as long-term care.

At home, she treasures moments with her family: her partner, their young son and the cat, Aldo.
