No matter what setting you work in, all veterinarians will encounter and must be prepared to handle emergency cases in their practices, shelters, and spay/neuter clinics. This presentation covers the identification, treatment, management, and - where possible - the prevention of the most common emergency scenarios in shelters and spay/neuter clinics. This presentation was recorded at the 2016 ASPCA Cornell Maddie's® Shelter Medicine conference at Cornell University.
