Dermatology on a budget – strategies and options for diagnosing and managing allergic skin disease when money is tight by Anke Hendricks MedVet DrMedVet CertVD DipECVD FHEA MRCVS, Specialist in Veterinary Dermatology at Royal Veterinary College
Synopsis
Strategies and options for diagnosing and managing canine allergic skin disease that keep cost to a minimum without sacrificing good clinical practice. Whatever the budget, chronic pruritic skin disease requires a diagnosis for successful treatment. Financial savings can be made by avoiding an extensive and expensive array of diagnostic procedures, expensive treatment options and optimising collaboration with the client.
Transfusion therapy in practice – what you need to know by David Walker BVetMed(Hons) DipACVIM DipECVIM MRCVS, Head of Internal Medicine, Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists
Synopsis
There is now more access to blood products than ever before. Selection of the right blood product is essential to give the patient the optimum chance of a successful outcome. This session will review the blood products available in practice and the indications for their use. In house blood typing, crossmatching, blood donor selection, blood collection and the administration of blood products will also be reviewed.
Laminitis: approach to the chronic or recurrent case by Edd Knowles MA VetMB MVetMed DipECEIM MRCVS, RCVS recognised specialist in Equine Internal Medicine, Bell Equine Veterinary Clinic
Synopsis
A significant proportion of laminitis cases become chronic or recurrent. These are challenging to manage and cause stress and anxiety for owners, horses and clinicians.
Establishing a prognosis is crucial to determine when treatment should be continued and should be guided by responses to analgesia, radiographic changes and other factors. Successful case management requires a broad approach including analgesia, farriery and diagnosis and management of underlying conditions. Cooperation with farriers is essential and understanding the principles of farriery for chronic laminitis such as foot stability, breakover position and recruitment of ground area helps to establish common treatment goals.
Enteric disease in the adult bovine by Karin Mueller MVSc DCHP DipECBHM MRCVS, RCVS & European Diplomate and Specialist in Cattle / Bovine Health, Senior Lecturer Animal Husbandry & Reproduction, School of Veterinary Science, University of Liverpool
Synopsis
An overview of the UK relevant differential diagnoses of enteritis in adult cattle. For the most common infectious causes, the key aspects of clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and control will be discussed. Diarrhoea is usually one of the main signs of enteritis and, therefore, non-enteric causes of diarrhoea in the adult bovine will be highlighted to complete the picture. Guidance will be given on approach to diagnosis based on signalment and presentation of the animal.
