The Small Animal Intensive Care Symposium (KIS) is a specialised veterinary event focused on the diagnosis, treatment and intensive care of critically ill dogs and cats. The symposium provides a professional platform for veterinarians and veterinary healthcare professionals to explore current approaches in emergency medicine, critical care and advanced patient management.

The programme of a small animal intensive care symposium typically addresses key areas of veterinary emergency and critical care, including patient stabilisation, intensive monitoring, respiratory and cardiovascular emergencies, fluid therapy, pain management, anaesthesia, sepsis, acute kidney injury and advanced supportive therapies. These topics are central to the management of patients requiring continuous observation and specialised treatment.

The Small Animal Intensive Care Symposium (KIS) supports continuing veterinary education by bringing together professionals interested in the latest clinical developments and evidence-based approaches to critical care. Through lectures, case discussions and professional exchange, participants can gain practical insights into managing complex emergency and intensive-care cases in small-animal practice.

Particular emphasis is placed on improving clinical decision-making, patient monitoring and treatment strategies for critically ill animals. The symposium is relevant to veterinarians working in emergency departments, intensive care units, referral hospitals and veterinary practices that manage complex medical and surgical cases.

With its focus on small animal emergency medicine, intensive care and advanced veterinary treatment, the Small Animal Intensive Care Symposium (KIS) offers an opportunity for professional development, knowledge exchange and networking within the veterinary community.
