Medical Refresher

Are you returning to small animal practice after a career break, or hoping for a whistlestop tour of what’s new in small animal medicine?  Consult with confidence after this one-day refresher course. Using both lecture format and case-based discussions we’ll work through some common small animal medical presentations such as vomiting, diarrhoea and fever.  

Following the course you should feel comfortable recognising the vomiting dog concealing a more significant illness, know which symptomatic therapies should (and shouldn’t) be used in acute diarrhoea and which investigations to prioritise in a dog with haemorrhagic diarrhoea. You should also feel a new conviction in tailoring the trilostane dose of your Cushingoid Cavalier, implementing the best monitoring regime for that new diabetic, and personalising the treatment of the latest hyperthyroid cat. Plus, we’ll discuss “what’s new” in endocrinology.

Topics to be covered include:

• Approach to vomiting and diarrhoea
• Approach to pyrexia
• Updates in endocrinology
• Diabetic monitoring
• Cushings stabilisation
• What’s new in hyperthyroidism
