Course description
During Veterinary Toxicology, students learn the causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods, therapy and prognosis of the most common poisonings in veterinary practice. We put high emphasis on providing first day skills of the recognition and successful treatment of poisonings. Educating the different sensitivity of animal species to toxic substances, specific antidotes and their dosages are of high importance in the course’s curriculum.
