Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a heart disease more commonly seen in particular breeds, including Dobermans, Boxers and Cocker Spaniels.  There is a genetic component to the condition,  and with the number of cases continuing to rise,  there has been recent research into the role of nutrition.

This case study follows ‘Tommy’, a 6 year old Doberman who presented to practice with sudden collapse during exercise.

This CPD session is worth 60 minutes towards your RCVS requirements.  The case study involves a short recorded tutorial, a quiz and further reading articles.
