We are all ears! Management strategies for otitis externa

Our understanding of allergic dermatitis in dogs has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. This presentation will highlight new information that changes the way we practice and will include insights on new definitions and clinical syndromes, pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis, a streamlined diagnostic approach and diagnostic criteria, new innovative treatments, and guidance for conducting food trials, amongst others.

Wound care management is an integral part of a veterinary nurses skill set. The ability to triage, initiate treatment and help with the resolution of wounds to patients will help the veterinary nurse to feel confident in the ER.

Dermatology Diagnostics for Veterinary Nurses and Technicians Do you ever wonder why vets do what they do when dealing with skin cases? Does it sometimes feel like we’re just stabbing in the dark hoping for an answer? Do you find that clients get frustrated with lack of progress? Do they bring their frustrations to you, but you don’t always know what to say? You are not alone! Dermatology and ear cases are the most common health problems presented to small animal practices, and they are frequently cited as the most common reasons that clients change veterinary practices. Dermatology cases can appear to be frustrating and complex, but in fact there are some very logical processes that need to be followed. In this webinar we’ll cover the steps that need to be taken to establish a diagnosis for the most common dermatology presentations. If you understand these steps, then you are equipped to effectively communicate these processes to your clients. We’ll also cover some of the specific diagnostic tests undertaken in the pursuit of a diagnosis in veterinary dermatology, and how nurses and technicians can play a pivotal role in this process.
