Course Information:
Coughing is a common presenting complaint in small animal practice.
It can be caused by cardiac or respiratory disease.
Since these diseases are treated differently, successful treatment requires
determining the cause of the cough. This course discusses the diagnostic
approach to a coughing patient so that the general practitioner can come
up with an optimal treatment plan.
