Interpretation of videofluoroscopic swallow studies and application of findings to case management
Carol Reinero
Videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS) have traditionally been used for dogs with clinical signs of dysphagia or regurgitation, however recent studies suggest there are many more applications of VFSS including dogs with respiratory clinical signs. This training session will focus on (1) developing a protocol for optimal VFSS including use of kennels for unrestrained free feeding, administration of different consistencies of liquid and food, and acquiring different types of cine loops (2) interpreting VFSS from brachycephalic dogs, dogs with dysphagia/regurgitation, and dogs with respiratory clinical signs and (3) using results of VFSS to tailor medical (and/or surgical) plans.
