At this month's Shelter Med LIVE: Burns. Broken bones. Bleeding. Bite wounds. When your team calls on you to assess an animal in distress, how do you determine your next steps?
Join host Dr. @Jennifer Bennett with guests Dr. Maria Pyrdek (Chief Veterinarian and Animal Care Officer, Pasadena Humane) and Dr. Ashley Patterson (Associate Director of Operations, UC Davis California Veterinary Emergency Team) for a conversation on triage strategies that help shelter vets work within their capacity while still providing critical care.
By the end of this hour, participants will be better prepared to:
- Determine which patients can be stabilized in the shelter and which require immediate referral
- Provide short-term stabilization while moving animals toward the appropriate level of care and outcome
- Recognize how triage priorities and common scenarios differ between field and shelter settings
- Identify essential supplies for triage and stabilization of common conditions
- Understand foundational disaster-planning considerations for shelters, including legal responsibilities for animal care

About Shelter Med LIVE - Every third Wednesday, 4-5 p.m. PT
Shelter medicine bridges gaps in veterinary care access, ensuring animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and have the medical treatment they need before going home to the people and communities who care for them. This isn't a lecture-it's a conversation for everyone who wants to talk shop on shelter medicine. Kick back and recharge with your colleagues in the middle of a long week.
