Come join us for this "Practical Vet Med" Weekend Seminar and learn "practical" knowledge you can
put to use in your clinic on the following Monday concerning the diagnosing and treating of dogs and
cats with diseases involving the gastrointestinal tract, liver and pancreas.
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, or when they have primary GI disease.
Then we need to know how to quickly and efficiently get to the bottom of the problem and what to do
about it.
This Seminar will cover the following important
subjects and more:
- 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 Seminar Registration Fee includes:
- 17 hours of Continuing Education
- a Proceedings including copies of all Power Point slides and client handouts
- your choice of Proceedings in printed or digital formats
- copies of in-clinic forms and dry lab diagnostics quick reference sheets
- access to download the Proceedings in a .pdf format
- special laboratory submission forms
