This course is presented as a 45 minute webinar by Dr Sarah Caney.
Throughout this webinar you will learn about hyperthyroidism in cats, including symptoms, how a diagnosis is made, treatment and long term effects.
The first half of the webinar explains what hyperthyroidism is, which cats are most vulnerable to developing this condition, clues of illness that a carer may spot and how vets go about confirming a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism.
The second half of the webinar outlines the four different treatment options for management of hyperthyroidism and what a carer might expect in terms of the long term outlook for their cat.
This course is available to BVRA members only as a free membership benefit.
"I really enjoyed this course. Dr. Sarah Caney was very informative and presented the information in a way that is easily understood. I am now more aware of this feline illness and its treatments. The course and its content will help me to be better able to understand clients when they're explaining their cat's illness and will aid my ability to triage on the phone. This knowledge has really increased my confidence. Thank you."
