Meet Toby, a 12-year-old Labrador retriever who presents as an emergency with severe respiratory distress on the hottest day of the year. With a history of exercise intolerance, stridor, and retching after eating, this case challenges you to recognize key clinical signs and prioritize care under pressure.

These are signs you’ll recognize in clinic, but together they demand clear assessment, decision-making, and intervention.

We’ve put Toby’s case together as a step-by-step medical nursing case study, guiding you through stabilization, diagnostic support, and ongoing care.
