  • 12 Lessons

Advance your knowledge and immerse yourself in this professionally filmed course on the canine placenta, implantation, and the umbilical cord.

Illustrated with three full canine pregnancy scan walkthroughs, and demonstrations of colour and spectral Doppler for looking at blood flow in the placenta and foetus.

While no cats are used in these videos, feline placentas are also zonary, and all the same principles apply.

What's included in this short course?

As well as the 7 core lessons, this course includes a digital certificate of completion, and a Zoom session with Yvette Lovis and Catherine Stowell every quarter. Each session will begin with a short presentation on a new concept, followed by a Q&A session, and sharing of scans.

Calls are recorded and uploaded to your learning portal, so if you're away, you will never miss a thing!
