As small animal veterinarians, we see patients with gastrointestinal symptoms every day.
At first presentation, the possibilities seem endless. It's vital for us to have a practical
working knowledge of when patients are showing GI side effects of systemic disease, when they
have primary GI disease, how to go about getting to the bottom of the problem, and what to do
about it.
Come Join Us! You'll learn "practical" knowledge you can put to use in your clinic the following
Monday concerning the diagnosis and treatment of dogs and cats with diseases involving the
gastrointestinal tract, liver and pancreas.
We will cover the following important
Subjects:
- working up and treating vomiting and regurgitation, in a step-wise fashion
- working up and treating diarrhea, in a step wise fashion
- working up and treating elevated liver enzymes, in a step wise fashion
- dealing with the many faces of pancreatitis
- what to do with the yellow dog or cat
- placing and managing feeding tubes in every day practice where there is no endoscope
- managing the acute abdomen -- to cut or not to cut?
- dry lab using animal models to place feeding tubes and do liver aspiration cytologies
Your registration fee includes: a Proceedings including copies of all
PowerPoint slides and client handouts. There is also access to download of the proceedings in .pdf
format.

The best CE I have ever attended. Thank you for making it practical! Too often only
half the CE at a class is practical. Great! Thank you!
Great practical information done in a clear, concise presentation!
You're a great teacher! The ultrasound pictures are so very helpful. Dr. Wendy makes learning fun! Love your humility and
kindness.
Dry labs are fantastic!
