Veterinary traumatology– 3 credits
Prerequisites: morphology, physiology and biochemistry, pharmacology, pathology, microbiology and virology.

Course outline: Discipline "Veterinary Traumatology” presents methods, techniques common veterinary practice used in the treatment of injuries. It occupies a dominant role in the training of a veterinarian. Discipline studies the basic principles of treatment of injuries, their technique on individual organs and tissues taking into account both the nature of the injury, and condition of the animal. Many operations are the only way to preserve the life, efficiency and productivity of the animal. It is necessary to know not only how to perform a particular operation, but the cases when it should not be done in the presence of contraindications.

The purpose of the discipline is to give doctoral students the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to practical veterinarian. For this a doctoral student should learn theclassification of injuries, overall action of trauma on the body, the degree of burns and frostbite, especially injuries of different animals, preventing the development of surgical infection, injury treatment, prevention of injury. A doctoral student should be able to organize and carry out mass preventive and curative surgical treatment of injuries.
