Stranguria Stranguria is a common but potentially life-threatening emergency presentation in cats. The emergency clinician must quickly determine whether the patient is obstructed, stabilize the patient appropriately, and decide on the best method of relieving the obstruction while managing pain and stress. In this case-based webinar we will discuss emergency stabilization, including fluid therapy, analgesia, […]
Uninvited Guests: Infectious Agents in Cytology Specimens Infectious aetiologies are frequently considered while reviewing inflammatory cytology samples. Some infectious agents such as fungal organisms, algal pathogens, and unusual bacteria can have unique morphologies that may overlap with contaminants, artifacts, or non-infectious processes. In this webinar, we will work through a series of clinical cases involving […]
Fluid Therapy in Anuric/Polyuric Patients Managing fluid therapy in anuric or oliguric patients poses a unique challenge. While fluids are often the cornerstone of stabilization, inappropriate administration in these patients can quickly worsen their condition and lead to life-threatening complications. The emergency clinician must therefore balance the need for circulatory support with the risk of […]
Congenital and hereditary skin diseases. – Dr. Chiara Noli Congenital and hereditary skin diseases usually occur in young animals and usually are not curable.

And when can we classify a renal azotaemia as chronic kidney disease. How to differentiate from acute disease? And what about acute on chronic? Let`s […]
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 […]
