The neurological examination – step by step This introductory session provides an in-depth overview of the neurological examination, the cornerstone of evaluating a neurological patient. Through the use of various video examples, we will explore the systematic approach to conducting a neurological examination, highlighting potential challenges and common pitfalls. Abnormal findings will be demonstrated to […]
The neuroanatomical lesion localization – Unlocking the key to a neurological diagnosis This session focuses on mastering neuroanatomical lesion localization, the second step after the neurological examination and essential for formulating a targeted list of differential diagnoses. Based on the findings of the neurological examination, different systematic approaches are presented to help you navigate through […]
VETAMIN D – A systematic approach to establishing differential diagnoses in Neurology In the third session, we will focus on VETAMIN D, a systematic approach to building differential diagnoses in veterinary neurology. Using the VETAMIN D mnemonic, we will explore how to organize and prioritize potential causes of neurological disorders based on clinical signs and […]
Cases Cases Cases – Let’s Dive In! In the fourth session, we will apply the knowledge gained from previous sessions to real clinical cases. You will have the opportunity to work through a series of cases, using neuroanatomical localization and the VETAMIN D framework to develop differential diagnoses and refine your diagnostic approach. This session […]
Beyond Ageing – Understanding Behavioural Changes in Senior Pets Age-related behavioural changes in companion animals are often misattributed to simple ageing. However, cognitive, sensory, emotional, and physical decline may manifest as subtle or overt behavioural shifts, requiring careful clinical evaluation. Aims: • To challenge assumptions about behavioural changes in ageing pets. • To introduce the […]
The Behavioural Dimensions of Obesity in Dogs and Cats Obesity is a complex, multifactorial condition often influenced by behavioural and emotional factors. Recognizing the behavioural components behind feeding patterns, caregiver interactions, and environmental enrichment is essential for effective management. Aims: • To explore the bidirectional relationship between behaviour and obesity. • To integrate behavioural assessment […]
Behavioural Considerations in Surgical and Hospital Settings Surgical and hospitalization experiences can be highly stressful for pets, with long-lasting behavioural consequences. Preemptive behavioural assessment and planning are key to reducing procedural distress and improving recovery outcomes. Aims: • To highlight the impact of pre-, peri-, and post-operative stress on animal welfare. • To promote collaboration […]
Complicated Trauma Cases As emergency clinicians we are often faced with polytrauma patients where injuries to multiple body systems must be prioritized and addressed simultaneously. In this case-based webinar we will revisit the systematic approach to the trauma patient, emphasizing how to recognize life-threatening thoracic and abdominal injuries early and how to prioritize diagnostics and […]
