SAVA | JHB Branch: Recognising Endocrine Disease on Initial Assessment
Wednesday 4 March @ 19:00 - 20:30
Subject: Recognising Endocrine Disease on Initial Assessment
Speaker: Dr Remo Lobetti
Sponsor: Royal Canin
LINK: REGISTER HERE
This presentation provides a practical overview of recognising endocrine disease during the initial clinical assessment in dogs and cats by using history, physical examination, routine laboratory testing, and ultrasonography to identify patterns that suggest common and less common endocrine disorders. By highlighting key clues, the presentation reinforces the principle that endocrine disease is often missed not from lack of knowledge, but from failure to consider it early in the diagnostic process.
