Acquire the necessary skills to act as an expert in the area of Ophthalmologic Emergencies in Small Animals, with the mastery of the latest techniques and advances in this intervention”

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. 

Ophthalmologic emergencies usually command a great deal of respect from most veterinary clinicians because, although some emergencies are not life-threatening, poor management of the situation can have serious consequences in terms of loss of the patient's visual capacity or even loss of the eyeball. 

In many cases, the emergency may be attended in the service itself, but in many other cases the patient will be stabilized and referred to a specialized center or service where, with the patient stable, they will be able to take charge of the case. Therefore, performing a correct triage and acting diligently in patients with ophthalmologic emergencies will substantially improve the prognosis of many patients.

This program in Management of Ophthalmologic Emergencies in Small Animals will address the care of a patient with an ophthalmologic emergency on arrival at the emergency department, initial stabilization, anamnesis, examination, complementary tests and medical treatment.
