Webinar to explore diagnosis of inflammatory diseases
Dr Kit Sturgess will share his expertise on assessing disease severity in cats and dogs.
The session will explore how in-house diagnostics can support rapid clinical decisions.

Veterinary professionals and students are being invited to a webinar discussing the efficient diagnosis of inflammatory diseases.

Hosted by HORIBA UK Veterinary, the webinar will be led by small animal specialist Kit Sturgess, who will share his expertise on assessing disease severity in cats and dogs. 

Balancing case management, prognosis and budget when a pet is 'just unwell' can pose a significant challenge to vets. Through the webinar, Dr Sturgess aims to help in the decision ‘When to wait and when to worry’ by exploring how in-house laboratories can quickly and efficiently give direction at an affordable price to the owner. 

Through case studies and personal experience, Dr Sturgess will explore how the innovative use of adjunctive tests can support rapid clinical decision-making when triaging patients. He will also provide insight on the case of Ollie, a 10-year-old German shorthaired pointer, presenting as vaguely unwell with reduced appetite. 

Attendees will also be able to ask veterinary diagnostics-related questions in a live Q&A session at the end of the webinar. To register, visit the Horiba UK website.

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
