About The Webinar

Canine sports medicine is the field of veterinary medicine devoted to the special needs of the working dogs and the canine athletes. These patient may present specific injuries related to their activity/work, and they require a different view medically than the normal companion canine. This webinar will focus on the most common injuries in athlete and working dogs, including joint pathologies (such as medial shoulder instability or elbow dysplasia) and tendinopathies, such as supraspinatus tendinopathy, iliopsoas strain or gracillis muscle contracture. We will cover the diagnosis and management of these highly active patients, including rehabilitation therapy, in order to return them to their fitness level. We will discuss the role of regenerative medicine (stem cell therapy and plasma rich in growth factors) in their management.
