SUMMARY:ENTERPRISES UP | The Multidisciplinary Approach to the Cardiopulmonary Compromised Patient (22-24 October)
DESCRIPTION:Subject: The Multidisciplinary Approach to the Cardiopulmonary Compromised Patient\nSpeakers: Multiple\nOrganizer: Enterprises University of Pretoria\nLINK: REGISTER HERE \nAre you fully equipped to manage your next high-risk cardiopulmonary case? For many veterinarians\, these patients remain some of the most daunting… the dog with severe mitral valve disease needing surgery\, the cat with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy requiring anesthesia for diagnostics\, or the respiratory compromised patient that doesn’t respond as expected to treatment. Too often\, practitioners feel isolated in these moments\, without access to the multidisciplinary support that specialists take for granted. \nThis 2.5-day CPD course is designed to close that gap. Delivered by a team of specialists in small animal internal medicine\, anesthesiology\, surgery\, diagnostic imaging\, and clinical pathology\, the course offers practical\, evidence-based strategies that you can take straight back into your practice. \nThrough interactive lectures\, real case discussions\, and collaborative sessions\, you will learn how to: \nImprove diagnostic accuracy in complex cardiopulmonary patients \nMake confident anesthetic and treatment decisions in high-risk cases \nIntegrate multidisciplinary insights to optimise outcomes \nBy the end\, you’ll walk away with a sharper clinical edge\, renewed confidence\, and tools to transform the way you approach cardiopulmonary compromise in your patients

SUMMARY:PURINA | Current Knowledge About Using Antibiotics for Gastrointestinal Disease
DESCRIPTION:Subject: Current Knowledge About Using Antibiotics for Gastrointestinal Disease\nSpeaker: Dr Fabio Procoli\nOrganizer: Purina\nLINK: REGISTER HERE \nPresented by: Dr. Fabio Procoli (Italy) DMV\, MVetMed\, DipACVIM\, DipECVIM-CA (Internal Medicine)\, MCRVS \nThis presentation will address common gastrointestinal disorders that are treated with antibiotics. The dysbiosis index will be introduced and described and current research studies that show the short and longer term impact of antibiotics on the gastrointestinal microbiome will be presented. Alternative therapeutic approaches including nutrition will be presented. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Understand which gastrointestinal disorders have historically been treated with antibiotics and how that treatment affects the intestinal microbiome\n2. Learn about the dysbiosis index and how it can be used to understand the current status of the intestinal microbiome\n3. Understand how nutrition can be used as a primary intervention in gastrointestinal disorders and how using nutrition impacts the gastrointestinal microbiome

SUMMARY:IDEXX | Cytology Part 2 - Cracking the Case: Cytological Evaluation of Body Cavity Fluids [WATCH RECORDING]
DESCRIPTION:Subject: Cytology Part 2 – Cracking the Case: Cytological Evaluation of Body Cavity Fluids\nSpeakers: Dr Yolandi Rautenbach\nOrganizer: Idexx\nLINK: WATCH RECORDING \nThis interactive webinar will guide practicing veterinarians through the diagnostic approach to body cavity fluid cytology using real clinical cases. Each case will highlight key cytological features that aid in fluid classification and diagnosis\, helping clinicians strengthen their interpretation skills and apply findings directly to patient care. \nPresenter: Dr Yolandi Rautenbach\nBVSc (Hons)\, MMedvet (Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics)\, PhD Candidate\, EBVS® European Specialist in Veterinary Clinical Pathology \nDr Yolandi Rautenbach obtained her BSVc degree at the University of Pretoria in 2007. After spending four years in private practice\, she returned to the university and completed her BVSc Honours degree in 2014 and proceeded to complete both the South African\, MMedVet (Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics)\, and European College of Veterinary Clinical Pathology residencies in 2017 and 2018\, respectively\, at the University of Pretoria. She was employed as a Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Clinical Pathology form 2018-2024 at the Department of Companion Animal Clinical Studies\, University of Pretoria. During this period she was involved in clinical service delivery at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory\, involved in teaching Clinical Pathology to under- and postgraduate veterinary and veterinary nursing students\, interns and residents. Dr Rautenbach also supervised several MSc-degree post-graduate students and is currently a PhD candidate\, her research involves the investigation of cardiac troponin I in African rhinoceros and she hopes to graduate in April 2025.

SUMMARY:ELANCO | Comprehensive Chronic Pain Management in Cats
DESCRIPTION:Subject: Comprehensive Chronic Pain Management in Cats\nSpeakers: Dr Sam Taylor\nOrganizer: Elanco Animal Health\nLINK: REGISTER HERE \nSpeaker: \nDr Sam Taylor\, RCVS Recognised Specialist in Feline Medicine\, European Specialist in Veterinary Internal Medicine\, Fellow of the RCVS\, Veterinary Specialist Lead for ISFM/iCatCare \nOverview: \nThis lecture provides a practical overview of chronic pain management in cats\, focusing on the high incidence of persistent pain in older patients\, such as osteoarthritis and dental disease. Dr Sam Taylor will guide veterinarians through the latest recommendations from the 2024 ISFM and AAFP guidelines\, addressing the multifaceted nature of chronic pain and the importance of a multimodal approach. \nDiscussion will encompass a range of therapeutic options\, including pharmacologic choices (NSAIDs\, adjunct analgesics\, nutraceuticals)\, non-drug modalities (weight management\, physiotherapy\, environmental modification)\, and the role of tailored pain assessment protocols. While NSAIDs like robenacoxib remain a cornerstone\, the session will objectively review all available molecules and their suitability for cats with comorbidities\, alongside alternative and complementary strategies. \nThroughout\, Dr Taylor will provide practical tips to reassure veterinarians about managing complex cases and comorbidities\, such as chronic kidney disease\, and reinforce best practice in improving feline quality of life. \nKey Takeaways: \nIdentify and assess chronic pain in cats using standardised approaches\nExplore multimodal management strategies: pharmacologic\, non-drug\, and lifestyle interventions\nUnderstand guideline recommendations for NSAIDs and other analgesic options—including use in cats with comorbidities\nCompare NSAID molecules\, mechanisms\, and safety profiles\nBoost confidence in providing holistic pain relief tailored to each patient
