  • 1.  Navigating Anesthetic Drug Shortages in Shelters After COVID - Wed 8/12/2020

    Posted 07-07-2020 04:12 PM

    Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, widespread drug shortages are currently impacting all healthcare providers, including animal shelters and nonprofit veterinary clinics. Those shortages are likely to worsen.

    In this 90-minute webcast, you'll learn what your organization needs to know to provide spay/neuter and veterinary care in a time of COVID from anesthesiologist and pain management specialist Dr. Sheilah Robertson. She will lay out how shelters and clinics can navigate current and anticipated drug shortages, provide tips on how to stay agile and plan ahead, and share information about drugs that have had their "use by" dates extended because of shortages.

    Joining Dr. Robertson will be Sarah Kirk, DVM and Cynda Crawford, DVM, PhD, both of Maddie’s® Shelter Medicine Program at the University of Florida.

    Date: Wednesday, August 12 at 12 noon Pacific / 3:00 PM Eastern.
