Description

Course Summary

This 40 minute eCPD tutorial will cover the following aspects of hyperthyroidism in cats: typical presenting clinical history and physical examination findings, co-morbidities, diagnosis and treatment.  The aim of the presentation is to provide up-to-date information on this disease. This will hopefully give the veterinary nurse confidence when discussing the management of these patients with their owners and how best to manage the complications of the disease and the side effects of the different treatment options.
