• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  The second module is divided into two sub-units and provides a deep dive into how unique physical traits of dogs, cats, and horses contribute to how they perceive, ingest, and process medications. Clinical pearls regarding medication absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination in dogs, cats, and horses will be covered. Risk factors for adverse events by species will be highlighted, as well as causes of the most common calls to animal poison control centers, so that the pharmacist and technician can better help pet parents anticipate toxicity risks. Downloadable resources are provided to help reinforce the information gained in practice.
