Now available on-demand, Why Cats Are Not Small Humans: Medication Poisoning in Felines explores the unique ways cats respond to medications and the risks associated with drug toxicity. This educational webinar offers 1.0 hour (0.1 CEU) of continuing education credit for pharmacy and veterinary professionals.

Cats process medications differently than humans and other animals, which can affect how they respond to certain drugs and increase their risk of medication poisoning. This webinar explains these differences and why understanding feline physiology is important for safe medication use.

Renee Schmid, DVM, DABT, DABVT, discusses how cats absorb, distribute, metabolize, and eliminate medications. Using real-world case examples, she also covers common human medications that can be toxic to cats and what pharmacy and veterinary professionals should know about these risks.

This webinar helps pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, veterinarians, and veterinary technicians better understand medication safety in cats and make more informed decisions when caring for feline patients.
