Objectives
Pulmonology is an underdeveloped science in veterinary medicine.   The absence of many primary respiratory specialists has left the general practitioner to rely on his or her instincts as much as any formal training or dedicated textbook when approaching respiratory disease in companion animals.  The objective of this conference is to provide practicing veterinarians with information to diagnose and treat patients with cough, sneeze, exercise intolerance, difficulty breathing and other clear signs of respiratory tract disease.
