This presentation will include current standards of care, as well as treatments that have fallen out of favor, or have been shown to be detrimental to our canine and feline head and spinal trauma patients. A thorough approach to stabilization diagnostics, and treatment of the small animal patient with head and spinal trauma will be discussed.
