Handling Halloween Hazards

Halloween treats can be a nightmare for our four-legged patients!

Dr. Juliana Voloshin will explore how to recognize potential exposures, assess risk based on the toxin, dose, and patient, and identify clinical signs and toxic mechanisms to guide treatment. Using Halloween-related scenarios, we’ll focus on practical approaches to initial stabilization, decontamination, monitoring, and ongoing patient care.

We’ll also discuss effective client communication and prevention strategies to help keep pets safe when Halloween treats are everywhere.

Designed for veterinarians and veterinary technicians, this 1-credit session will provide practical, evidence-based takeaways to help your team confidently recognize and manage these common toxicities when the unexpected trick-or-treating visitor arrives at your practice. Refreshments will be served.
