Spring 2027 Seminar

Sevilla - Spain

April 27-29, 2027

Acute to Chronic: Practical Internal Medicine and Emergency/Critical Care in Cats and Dogs

Across three half-days, Dr. Byers moves from the acute to the chronic - the acute abdomen, shock and fluid therapy, cardiac and diabetic emergencies, and urinary obstruction, through to chronic kidney disease, IMHA, and the chronic GI and hepatic conditions you manage week to week.

A practical, decision-focused program built to sharpen your confidence across the full arc of patient care - from the emergencies to the everyday.

Dr. Christopher G. Byers is a practicing veterinary specialist, board-certified in both emergency and critical care and small animal internal medicine, and a certified veterinary journalist based in Omaha, Nebraska. He is co-editor of the textbooks Feline Emergency & Critical Care Medicine and Canine Emergency & Critical Care Medicine, and has written widely for veterinary textbooks and peer-reviewed journals.

In the heart of Seville's historic centre, on the elegant Plaza de la Magdalena, this five-star hotel blends refined Andalusian design with calm and comfort - intricate latticework, warm earth tones, and a rooftop pool looking out over the skyline. With the Cathedral, the Real Alcázar, and the old town all a short walk away, it's an inspiring setting in which to learn, connect, and experience one of Europe's most atmospheric cities.
