ExpiredHow I Manage Common Feline Problems
Seattle, WA
| August 4th - 5th, 2017
Our feline techniques seminars will provide you with a wealth of information on how the speakers actually do things- all too often speakers do not adequately describe the actual way that they manage a feline patient. In this seminar, Dr’s Holowaychuk, Eaton and Oswald will spend a lot of time describing how they actually manage the feline patient with a variety of clinical problems- from the initial presentation thru ongoing medical management. You are sure to head home with some very practical information.

Here in this revered nine-acre community with its cracked walkways and uneven cobblestone streets, the scent of sweet peas mingles with Dungeness crabs and spicy teas, street musicians compete with “free sample!” vendors, and weird things make their appearance: bottom-dwelling monkfish and rubber-necked geoducks. A piscatorial highlight: Pike Place Fish, where world-famous fishmongers have elevated salmon-slinging to new heights.
