The most complete and up to date program in Poisoning. Ophthalmic Pathologies. Equine Parasitosis. Donkey Medicine. Hospitalization and Medicine in Geriatric Patients on the online educational market” 

This postgraduate certificate lays the foundations for a specialization in Equine Hospital Medicine. It defines the logistics and clinical strategy required in a hospital for horses. It addresses various topics, extremely necessary in order to acquire a global idea of how an equine hospital works and to consider the hospitalization of any patient regardless of their main pathology.

It describes the layout of the different facilities and establishes the necessary guidelines for the cleaning and disinfection of different areas in relation to their degree of contamination by the patients treated in each one. Develop specialized knowledge on advanced pharmacology for hospitalized patients. This program establishes the ideal pharmacological guidelines, antibiotherapy and multimodal analgesia applicable to each patient depending on their severity, which differs greatly from the approach used in field clinics.

Due to the severity of the clinical symptoms presented by most hospitalized patients, it is necessary to establish specific guidelines for fluid therapy and nutrition according to the stabilization requirements and metabolic needs of each patient.

Finally, in the first section of the program, the interpretation of blood count, serum biochemistry and blood gas analysis are discussed as it is very important to establish the severity of hospitalized patients. These diagnostic methods will also be key to monitoring the patients during the hospitalization period. 

In addition, a diagnostic approach, treatment and hospitalization on poisoning and the involvement of different systems will be carried out. It also deals with ocular pathologies, which are very frequent in equine clinical practice.

Given the difference between donkeys and horses, it is important to determine those particularities involved in the treatment and most frequent pathologies in donkeys and what to take into account when a veterinarian is faced with geriatric animals. 

Finally, it addresses equine respiratory and gastrointestinal parasites, as well as the identification, diagnosis and management of infectious and/or compulsory notifiable diseases.
