Acquire the necessary skills to act as an postgraduate diploma in Gastrointestinal, Urological and Reproductive Emergencies in Small Animals"

In emergency medicine there is a series of understandings, procedures and techniques which are common in the majority of cases, independent of the specialty or specialties involved in each case. 

In gastrointestinal emergencies we will study how laboratory tests and diagnostic imaging tests such as ultrasound, play an essential role in the diagnosis and controlling the evolution of a patient’s condition. In many cases the patient shows unspecific symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea or acute abdomen which doesn't allow for a quick and conclusive diagnosis. In these cases, complementary tests are essential to support the veterinarian’s clinical examination.

Other issues that will be addressed are those related to the care of a patient with nephrourological or reproductive emergencies. In this sense, in this training we will show you the latest advances and developments in the care of patients who show problems in these devices, enabling you to order and interpret the appropriate diagnostic tests.

In short, we offer you a complete tour of all the areas of knowledge you need to provide quality emergency care.
