Feline Hyperthyroidism for Nurses

Feline Hyperthyroidism for Nurses
Feline Hyperthyroidism for Nurses

Feline Hyperthyroidism is a commonly seen disease in older cats in general practice. This webinar will discuss what Hyperthyroidism is and what clinical signs we might expect to see. There are different treatment options ranging from daily medications, surgery, or radioactive iodine treatment. We will look at the pros and cons of each of these options. From a nursing perspective we will talk about some of the considerations you may want to think about when handling and caring for these cats in hospital. We will also look at the relationship between feline hyperthyroidism and kidney and heart disease. Lastly, let’s talk about how we as nurses can help educate our feline pet owners about hyperthyroidism. 

The Australian Veterinary Nurse and Technician (AVNAT) Regulatory Council has allocated (1) AVNAT CPD point to this continuing education activity.

Hyperadrenocorticism: What you already knew (and didn’t)
Hyperadrenocorticism is one of the most common endocrinopathies seen in clinical practice. However not every patient presents the same way and behaves in a typical manner, as is sometimes described in textbooks and in reading material! The objective of this webinar is to provide an overview of hyperadrenocorticism, pathophysiology and current recommendations in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Participants will hopefully gain a better understanding of the disease and will gain confidence in diagnosing and treating these patients.

The Hyperthyroid Cat
Originally recognised approximately 40 years ago, hyperthyroidism is the most common feline endocrinopathy. How has our understanding of this common disease of cats and it’s management changed since then? This webinar will revisit the diagnostic approach, management options, complications and currently recommended monitoring for these patients. Which medical treatment option is best and why? How often does iatrogenic hypothyroidism occur and how can we diagnose and treat this in cats? What are the renal implications of thyroid disease in cats and how can we best assess and monitor this in these patients? Update and refresh your knowledge of this common feline disease.
