Feline Ultrasound: 10 Ways Cats Are Not Small Dogs (DIAG435)

Course overview

It's an often-repeated adage - "cats are not little dogs", and this is especially true with feline medicine and ultrasound. Cats have many unique diseases that require feline-specific knowledge to diagnose and treat. Ultrasound is one of the most useful tools feline clinicians have in their arsenal to diagnose diseases in cats, who often present with very vague and non-specific clinical signs. This is one of four courses in the Feline Ultrasound collection. Each course will consist of a single 2-hour session that will focus on the normal ultrasound appearance of an organ system and then present changes observed that are associated with specific diseases. These courses are independent of each other and can be taken in any combination. This course will review the ultrasound appearance of 10 diseases/anatomic variations that are unique to cats and were not touched upon during the other Feline Ultrasound courses. There will be time provided at the end of the session for questions regarding feline ultrasound stemming from this or any of the other Feline Ultrasound courses.
