After many years, these cats have become much loved members of the family. As veterinarians we have a responsibility to proactively seek and treat any conditions that may compromise length and/or quality of life. After this course, rather than dreading the consultation with the strongly bonded owner of an ancient frail feline, you can instead approach each case armed with knowledge of the various geriatric disease and how they interact, allowing you to construct a diagnostic plan, and tailor an individualised treatment strategy, suitable for each patient’s needs. Topics covered will include; chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, hypertension and its causes, osteoarthritis, cognitive dysfunction syndrome, urinary tract infection, vaccination in later life, central disease, inflammatory and neoplastic abdominal disease.Join Ellie Mardell VetMB, MA, CertSAM, DSAM(Feline), MRCVS for three 2-hour online sessionsComprehensive notes to downloadedSelf-assessment quizzes to ‘release’ your 8 hours CPD certification (don’t worry, you can take them more than once if you don’t quite hit the mark first time)A whole year’s access to recorded sessions for reviewing key pointsSuperb value for money – learn without travellingWatch the recordings on your iPad!This Mini Series was originally broadcast in April 2018! ProgrammeSession 1Old or ill? Improving quality of life in geriatric felinesWe will review the role of preventive medicine clinics for geriatric cats, discussing a range of diseases including the “big 3” chronic kidney disease, hyperthyroidism and diabetes mellitus, as well as the spectrum of presentation of conditions that may be under-recognised such as hypertension, cognitive dysfunction syndrome and osteoarthritis.What you’ll learn:A better appreciation of the various conditions that may occur in elderly catsInspiration for preventative medicine clinics for geriatric petsHow to best tailor investigations to the individual Session 2Decreasing odds? Management of co-morbid conditions in geriatric catsThrough the use of case examples, we will evaluate how various geriatric diseases and their treatments may interact in a single patient, and how we can safely step outside of our comfort zone in selecting therapeutic options to effectively manage co-morbid conditions while preserving both quality and length of life. Featured cases will introduce patients with any combination of hyperthyroidism, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, and osteoarthritis.What you’ll learn:How to best tailor treatment to the individualThe ways in which disease conditions influence each otherWhen to consider drug interactions and contra-indications Session 3Fading away…. Investigation of weight loss in elderly catsIn this final session we turn our focus to what can be a frustrating presentation in feline medicine; the patient with weight loss. We will take a step-wise approach to investigations, firstly, aiming to achieve a diagnosis in the less straight forward presentations of hyperthyroidism and chronic kidney disease, and then moving onto a wide variety of other causes including, pancreatic and intestinal disease, and neoplastic conditions. Supportive care of the anorexic patient will be discussed.What you’ll learn:A logical diagnostic approach to the feline patient presenting with weight lossTop tips for diagnosing the geriatric diseases in their early stages or when signs are subtle or atypicalWhen and how to consider nutritional support in an inappetent patientSalepage: https://cpd-solutions.com/store/product/ms172-feline-geriatric-medicine-mini-series-april-2018//Archive: https://archive.ph/wip/aTPKuPurchase CPD – MS172 Feline Geriatric Medicine Mini Series courses at here with PRICE $479 $114
