Kit Sturgess, RCVS Specialist in Small Animal Medicine, will present a webinar for vet nurses: “Diagnosis of inflammatory disease in cats and dogs – Getting the most from your practice laboratory?”, on Thursday 2nd March, 7:30 - 9:00pm

In the Horiba-sponsored webinar, Kit will draw on personal experience and case study examples to illustrate how the innovative use of adjunctive tests can support rapid clinical decision-making when triaging patients.

For example, Kit will consider whether inflammation markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A can be used to assess if current signs are likely associated with inflammatory diseases, such as pancreatitis, or whether further investigation is required to determine cause of illness.

Kit will also consider the case of Ollie a 10-year-old German shorthaired pointer presenting as vaguely unwell with reduced appetite.

Is this just a flare-up of his chronic osteoarthritis and likely to respond to pain relief and anti-inflammatory treatment, or something else?

Attendees will be able to questions in a live Q&A session at the end of the webinar.

Horiba's team will also be on hand to answer questions on in-house diagnostics.
