VECCS Learning + Labs: The Neurology-Ophthalmology Struggle Workshop & Wet Lab

Course overview

This interactive lab blends essential skills in veterinary neurology and ophthalmology to improve clinicians' confidence in diagnosing and managing complex emergency cases. Through live animal exams, case-based discussions, and hands-on exercises, participants will refine their neurologic examination techniques, strengthen lesion localization skills, and review management of vestibular disease and acute seizures. The ophthalmology sessions focus on practical surgical and emergency procedures, including eyelid and orbital repairs, corneal and conjunctival techniques, and management of conditions such as proptosis, deep corneal ulcers, and glaucoma. A share neuro-ophthalmology discussion will highlight the intersection of both specialties through real case examples and participant interaction.
