The Dog Days of Endocrine Issues Reveal New Findings

Practice applying clinical knowledge to the diagnosis and management of common canine endocrinopathies. The interactive case studies will provide examples of hypothyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism, hypoadrenocorticism, primary hyperparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus, and diabetes insipidus. In the second hour, review clinically relevant literature from the past two years on canine hyperadrenocorticism, including pathophysiology, clinical signs and complications, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and prognosis.
