The Great Misunderstood: Feline Neurobehavioral Disorders Introduction: Feline neurobehavioral disorders are frequently misdiagnosed due to a lack of understanding of the species-specific corticolimbic architecture. This session focuses on how the feline brain processes emotional stimuli and the consequences of limbic system dysfunction. Aims: • To provide an in-depth analysis of the feline corticolimbic system and […]
Expect the unexpected: how cytology can redirect a case Cytology is often used to support a clinical suspicion — one piece of the diagnostic puzzle. Many times it confirms what we expect. Occasionally, however, it completely changes the picture. In this webinar, we will discuss clinical cases where cytology delivered unexpected answers and redirected the […]
Otitis externa in dogs and cats. – Dr. Manolis Saridomichelakis Otitis externa is one of the most common reasons for consultation in small animal clinical practice. Otitis is not a disease but a syndrome with multiple causes that are classified into predisposing, primary, secondary and perpetuating. These causes are frequently combined with each other and […]
Bleeding Acute bleeding disorders in small animals can arise from trauma, hyperfibrinolysis, or underlying coagulation abnormalities, and they often present as life-threatening emergencies. The emergency clinician must be able to rapidly identify the underlying cause, stabilize the patient, and determine the most effective therapeutic strategy under time-critical conditions. In this case-based webinar we will revisit […]
Feline endocrinology secrets unravelled – Part 2: D. mellitus, acromegaly, Cushing`s syndrome Diagnosing diabetes mellitus is not causing a problem in most cases. It usually gets difficult if the treatment response is not exactly what we would have wished it to be. We will look into monitoring of diabetic patients and possible reasons for insufficient […]
When the urates turn green... Interpreting green urates – clues to systemic disease This session explores via the main clinical sign which is biliverdinuria, the variety of hepatic diaseses in companion birds. Clinical cases will guide you through diagnostics and management strategies. Aims: – Recognize clinical significance of green urate and develop a differential diagnosis […]
How Many Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders Do You Know? Introduction: While "OCD" is a common term in veterinary medicine, true compulsive disorders are rarer than clinical shorthand suggests. This session differentiates between stereotypies, displacement behaviors, and genuine obsessive-compulsive pathologies. Aims: • To establish strict diagnostic criteria for compulsive disorders in cats and dogs. • To explore the […]
Flow Cytometry: Elevating Diagnostic Precision in Lymphoma Diagnosis The integration of cytology and flow cytometry has transformed our ability to achieve confident, minimally invasive diagnoses of lymphoma in dogs and cats. In this advanced webinar, we will begin with a focused review of flow cytometry principles and methodology before moving into complex, real-world cases that […]
Neuro-muscular Ischemia Neuromuscular ischemia is a rare but serious complication in small animal patients, often resulting from prolonged pressure, vascular compromise, or underlying systemic disease. Prompt recognition and intervention are critical, as delayed treatment can lead to permanent neuromuscular deficits. In this case-based webinar we will revisit the pathophysiology of neuromuscular ischemia, with a focus […]
Fungal skin diseases. – Dr. Chiara Noli There are several fungal diseases, the most common ones are caused by dermatophytes usually growing on hair or skin keratin. Other less common usually saprophytic fungi can grow in the subcutis, particularly in inmmumocompromised animals, while others cause systemic infections. Many of these fungal agents are zoonotic and […]
Is Castration the Right Choice for Your Cat Patient? Introduction: Routine gonadectomy is being increasingly scrutinized within the veterinary community. This session evaluates the behavioral and welfare implications of castration in cats, challenging the "one-size-fits-all" approach to population and individual management. Aims: • To analyze the long-term behavioral effects of Castration/neutering in cats. • To […]
