Diabetes Mellitus: Canine Treatment Options

Course overview

This Florida Veterinary Medical Association-sponsored webinar provides a comprehensive, evidence-based review of the diagnosis and long-term management of canine diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is one of the most common endocrine disorders encountered in small animal practice, requiring lifelong management and close collaboration between the veterinary team and pet owners. Participants will review the pathophysiology of canine diabetes, current insulin therapies, nutritional management, glucose monitoring, and strategies for achieving successful diabetic regulation. The course also explores common concurrent diseases, troubleshooting poorly regulated diabetic patients, and practical client communication techniques that improve treatment compliance, patient quality of life, and long-term outcomes.
