Hoy hablamos sobre odontología felina, resorción dental, radiología, extracciones y dolor perioperatorio. Como siempre, también hacemos alusión a algunos recursos útiles para aquellos que estén interesados en profundizar en la materia.

En 2010 obtuvo el Certificado de Medicina General en Clínica Felina por el Colegio Europeo de estudios veterinarios de postgrado. Actualmente está cursando la Acreditación en Medicina Felina de AVEPA, para la cual está preparando un caso de resorción dental felina que hoy utilizamos como fuente de inspiración para nuestra tertulia.
