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 […]
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 […]
Skin Disease I — The Itchies (Allergy/Atopy) This session reviews the diagnostic approach and management strategies for pruritic skin disease, focusing on food allergy, environmental allergy, atopic dermatitis, and mixed presentations. Nutrition plays a particularly important role in the itchy patient—this webinar connects the dots. Learning outcomes: Participants will learn to: - Differentiate between common […]
Case management made easy – It can be simple if you know how! This introductory session will give you a thorough overview on the problem oriented work-up of feline medicine cases. Based on several case examples we will learn how to approach problems relevant to felines in a structured manner that will help to ease […]
Autoimmune and immunemediated diseases – part I. – Dr. Chiara Noli There are many autoimmune and immunomediated skin diseases in dogs and cats, with different pathogenesis and cinical presentations. Some of them are easily diagnosed on clinical grounds but some others histopathology for the diagnosis. Depending on the disease, therapeutical protocols may vary and the […]
Skin Disease II — The Non-Itchies (Colour Changes & Other Mysteries) Not all dermatology cases itch. This webinar explores diagnostic challenges such as pigment changes, scaling, haircoat abnormalities, and metabolic or nutritional causes of non-pruritic skin disease. Learning outcomes: Participants will be able to: - Build a structured differential list for non-pruritic dermatological presentations. - […]
Neuro-Toxicities When faced with patients presenting with acute neurological signs, the emergency clinician must rapidly consider toxicities as a possible underlying cause. In this case-based webinar we will revisit the most common toxic agents leading to neurological signs in small animals, including tremor- and seizure-inducing toxins as well as those causing altered mentation or weakness. […]
Heat Stroke In this case-based webinar we will revisit the pathophysiology of heatstroke and the key steps in the emergency approach, from rapid cooling strategies to stabilization of circulation and prevention of secondary complications. We will discuss how to recognize early versus advanced clinical presentations, how to tailor fluid therapy in the face of possible […]
The Hyper Cat (Hyperthyroidism & Hypercalcemia) Cats presenting with “hyper” problems can be diagnostically complex. This webinar walks through hyperthyroidism, primary and secondary hypercalcemia, concurrent disease, and the role of nutrition in stabilizing or managing these patients. Learning outcomes: Participants will learn to: - Understand current diagnostic and treatment pathways for hyperthyroid and hypercalcemic cats. […]
Diagnosis and management of canine hypothyroidism. – Dr. Manolis Saridomichelakis Canine acquired hypothyroidism is a relatively common disease but, in clinical practice, it is overdiagnosed. The reasons are multiple and they include, among others, non-thyroidal illness, drug administration, laboratory errors, and diagnosis based solely on hormone concentrations without consideration of the signalment, the clinical presentation […]
