This course will present a practical approach to the diagnosis

published extensively in all the major journals & texts including JAVMA,
Compendium on Continuing Education & Textbook of Internal Medicine,
Dr. Howard Seim lectures around the world and is a frequent and popular
speaker for IVS. His extensive use of video to explain various surgical
