CKD is less prevalent in dogs than in cats but is more likely to be progressive and life-limiting. The aetiology of CKD is more varied in dogs, and it is useful to understand when a renal biopsy will help to inform treatment decisions. In this webinar, we will use case examples and evidence-based medicine to discuss the aetiology of CKD in dogs, differences in the IRIS staging system for dogs versus cats and the treatment recommendations for this species.

Immune-mediated polyarthritis - when to suspect, what to rule out and what to treat with

Immune-mediated polyarthritis can affect many body systems and prove a diagnostic challenge. With abundant underlying triggers, Craig Breheny will talk about how deciding on a work up plan, and the associated therapeutic interventions can be a challenge.
