SUMMARY:Cytology\, Session 2
DESCRIPTION:Expect the unexpected: how cytology can redirect a case \nCytology 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 diagnostic approach — a reminder that when something “quacks like a duck”\, it isn’t always a duck. \nLearning Outcomes:\nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will: \n-Recognise ow cytology can challenge initial clinical assumptions\n-Integrate cytological findings critically into clinical decision-making. \nSpeaker: Paola Cazzini DVM\, MS\, DiplACVP (Clin Path)\, MRCVS\, University of Edinburgh\, UK\n

SUMMARY:Dermatology\, Session 8
DESCRIPTION:Otitis externa in dogs and cats. – Dr. Manolis Saridomichelakis\nOtitis 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 the failure to recognize and treat all of them can cause therapeutic failures and/or frequent relapses \nLearning outcomes:\nSystematic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of predisposing\, primary\, secondary and perpetuating causes of otitis externa in dogs and cats. \n

SUMMARY:Emergency & Critical care\, Session 9
DESCRIPTION:Bleeding\nAcute 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.\nIn this case-based webinar we will revisit the pathophysiology of bleeding disorders\, highlighting the differences between trauma-associated hemorrhage\, hyperfibrinolysis\, and primary or secondary coagulation abnormalities. We will discuss the diagnostic approach\, including point-of-care tests\, and how to prioritize stabilization measures such as fluid resuscitation\, transfusion strategies\, and antifibrinolytic therapy. Special attention will be given to recognizing when conventional therapy may be insufficient and when advanced interventions or surgical hemostasis are required. \nLearning outcome:\nAfter this webinar\, participants will be able to differentiate between the main causes of acute bleeding in dogs and cats\, apply a structured diagnostic and stabilization approach\, and implement targeted therapeutic strategies to control hemorrhage and improve patient outcome. \n

SUMMARY:Feline Medicine\, Session 6
DESCRIPTION:Feline endocrinology secrets unravelled – Part 2: D. mellitus\, acromegaly\, Cushing`s syndrome\nDiagnosing 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 treatment response. The focus will be on potentially underlying endocrinopathies such as acromegaly and Cushing`s syndrome. However\, new treatment options such as the SGLT-2 inhibitors will be discussed as well.\nPreparation material:\n• Short introduction on how to read glucose curves\n• Short introduction on SGLT-2 inhibitors\nLive workshop:\nSeveral short cases are presented in a quizze format asking you to provide answers using the knowledge you gained about glucose curves and SGLT-2 inhibitors. As soon as we have solved the most important issues around these two topics a case with acromegaly and another one with Cushing`s syndrome need to be worked up more extensively by you and you need to decide on how to treat them. \n

SUMMARY:Emergency & Critical care\, Session 10
DESCRIPTION:Neuro-muscular Ischemia\nNeuromuscular 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.\nIn this case-based webinar we will revisit the pathophysiology of neuromuscular ischemia\, with a focus on the “Kippfenster syndrome” and other clinically relevant presentations. Through illustrative cases\, we will highlight the importance of early recognition\, timely intervention\, and careful monitoring to optimize patient outcomes. Special emphasis will be placed on practical management strategies\, including pain control\, reperfusion approaches\, and supportive care to minimize long-term functional loss. \nLearning outcome:\nAfter this webinar\, participants will be able to recognize signs of neuromuscular ischemia\, assess severity and implement timely interventions and supportive care to prevent permanent deficits and improve patient recovery. \n

SUMMARY:Dermatology\, Session 9
DESCRIPTION:Fungal skin diseases. – Dr. Chiara Noli\nThere 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 should be well identified and treated to avoid contamination. \nLearning outcomes:\nRational diagnosis\, treatment and monitoring of dogs with dermatopytosis\, subcutaneous or systemic fungal diseases \n

SUMMARY:Cytology Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Cytology: The Questions Everyone Asks\nLecturer: Dr. Francesco Cian\nOverview:\nEvery clinician who performs cytology eventually finds themselves asking the same questions when approaching this discipline: Why my samples are often non diagnostic? Can I really diagnose a mast cell tumour with Diff-Quik – and can I grade it? Why are aspirates from lipomas so often acellular? Can cytology reliably predict malignancy? In this session\, we will tackle the most common doubts that arise when a needle meets a slide. \nFrom sampling techniques and smear quality to the diagnosis of lymphoma\, septic effusions\, and mesenchymal proliferations\, we will explore what cytology can reliably answer – and where its limitations lie. \nA session dedicated to the practical questions clinicians face every day when performing cytology.

SUMMARY:Cytology\, Session 4
DESCRIPTION:Inside the Marrow: Diagnostic Bone Marrow Cases in Clinical Practice\nBone marrow evaluation is a critical diagnostic step when peripheral blood findings fail to fully explain a patient’s clinical picture. Interpretation of bone marrow samples requires a structured approach and careful integration of cytologic findings with clinical information\, hematologic data\, and histologic evaluation of core biopsy specimens. In this webinar\, we will work through a series of clinical cases illustrating common diagnostic challenges encountered during bone marrow evaluation in dogs and cats. Particular emphasis will be placed on recognizing cytologic patterns of disease\, correlating cytologic findings with core biopsy histology\, and understanding how ancillary diagnostics such as PCR-based testing\, PARR\, flow cytometry\, and immunohistochemistry can refine the final diagnosis. \nLearning Outcomes:\nAfter the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n-Apply a structured approach to the interpretation of bone marrow cytology.\n-Recognize key cytologic patterns associated with important marrow disorders.\n-Understand the complementary roles of cytology\, core biopsy histology\, and ancillary diagnostics in bone marrow evaluation.\n-Integrate bone marrow findings with clinical and hematologic data to guide diagnostic decision-making \nSpeaker: Francisco Conrado DVM\, MSc\, DACVP (Clinical Pathology)\, Tufts University\, USA\n

SUMMARY:Dermatology\, Session 10
DESCRIPTION:Otitis externa and media in dogs and cats. – Dr. Manolis Saridomichelakis\nOtitis media is one of the perpetuating factors of otitis externa and is especially common in chronic and relapsing cases. Furthermore\, there are some less common cases of otitis media that may not be accompanied by otitis externa\, such as primary otitis media with effusion in dogs and middle ear polyps in cats. Neurological signs and extension of inflammation into the inner ear can occur. Management depends on the cause and differs from that of otitis externa without otitis media \nLearning outcomes:\nRational diagnosis and medical management of dogs and cats with otitis media. \n

SUMMARY:Feline Medicine\, Session 8
DESCRIPTION:Dyspnoea – a challenge that can be managed!\nThe dyspnoeic cat presents a real challenge in clinical practice — and things can easily go wrong. This session explores how blood tests and other diagnostic strategies can help avoid frustration and improve outcomes.\nLearning Objectives:\n– Understand how recognizing breathing patterns can help identify the type of disease\n– Learn an easy approach to interpreting radiographic lung patterns\n– Follow a structured diagnostic pathway for better clinical success\n– Discover how blood tests can narrow down differential diagnoses\nPreparation material:\n• Overview of breathing patterns and how they help localize the problem (including short videos with explanations)\n• Brief introduction to radiographic pulmonary pattern\nLive workshop:\nCase 1: Got the sniffles? The many faces of cat flu. Dyspnoea does not always indicate pulmonary disease — and cat flu is more than just conjunctivitis. Let’s review a case that make us think twice.\nCase 2: Dyspnoea – When furosemide fails. If there’s no response to furosemide\, increasing the dose won’t help. Let’s discuss effective alternatives.\n
