Overview
An interactive discussion using case-based examples to discuss the use of a systematic and standardized approach to these cases. This will include discussion of Triage in the broad sense of multi-trauma/disease situations followed by assessment of the individual animal.

This process will highlight how approaching stressful situations in a systematic manner will reduce the risk of stress or panic adversely affecting this process.
