Antibiotic resistance has, until recently, been viewed more as a political issue than a clinical concern for equine practitioners. However, it is now emerging as a real clinical challenge, with wound infections caused by MRSA and MRSP becoming increasingly common.
The seminar discusses enhancing the management of Cushing’s syndrome in dogs from a general practice perspective. Topics include reliable diagnosis, evaluation of tests, understanding underlying causes, and key principles for successful management. Consideration is given to the disease’s possible effect on the animal and the owner’s quality of life. The presenter is Professor David Church, a seasoned small animal specialist and co-founder of VetCompass.
This presentation will review the normal reproductive cycle of the mare, with a particular focus on ovulation and the role of Doppler ultrasound in assessment.
Key topics will include:
Decision-making around ovulation induction agents, including considerations related to the prescribing cascade
Recent clinical research on the timing of ovulation
Guidelines for fixed-time breeding using both chilled and frozen semen
This talk will explore the growing recognition of zoonotic and nosocomial mycobacterial infections in pet cats (and dogs) in the UK.
Recent data shows that nearly 1% of feline tissue biopsies sent for routine pathology exhibit changes consistent with mycobacterial infection. Of these, approximately 35% are tuberculosis (TB) cases—20% caused by Mycobacterium microti (the vole bacillus) and 15% by Mycobacterium bovis. These infections are most commonly cutaneous and/or involve local lymph nodes, particularly the submandibular and popliteal nodes.
This webinar provides a practical, case-based perspective on the detection, treatment, and prevention of gastro-duodenal disease in foals—equipping clinicians with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions in the field.
A discussion of equine obesity recognition; diagnostic options which are regularly achievable in general practice and treatment options which might achieve better owner compliance, for both the obese horse and the obese horse during a laminitis episode.
This webinar covers evidence-based use of anti-emetics, antacids, antidiarrheals, and appetite stimulants—highlighting mechanisms, side effects, and off-licence considerations. Gain confidence in prescribing and improve your clinical approach to managing common gastrointestinal presentations in small animal practice.
