Elderly cats are increasing in number thanks to better diets and healthcare. Subclinical illness is common and often passes unnoticed by carers. Preventive healthcare screening is essential to ensure that a diagnosis is made as promptly as possible with ‘Senior cat clinics’ playing an important role in this. Diagnosis and management of illness can be made more challenging by the presence of concurrent illness and clinicians are often faced with treatment dilemmas. Challenges and controversies relating to common ‘old cat’ illnesses (including chronic kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, systemic hypertension, osteoarthritis, cognitive dysfunction and more) will be presented. The speaker will include many practical tips and case-based examples to make this course relevant to clinical practice. Delegates are welcome to bring along case material they wish to discuss.
