Event Date(s): March 27 2024
https://www.communivet.com/en/ca/education/webcasts/maximizing-laboratory-diagnostics-clinical-cases-with-surprising-resultsJoin us on March 27 at 3 p.m. (EDT) to review interesting cases that highlight the importance of obtaining objective lab data and its appropriate interpretation.
During this
webcast, Dr. Holly Brown and Jessica Wilson-Hess discuss how many patients present with non-specific
clinical signs, and how behavioural changes may or may not reflect underlying disease. Even with a thorough history and
skilled physical exam, veterinary teams may be misled as to the underlying pathologic condition(s). However, by performing
lab work and obtaining an objective minimum database from patients, they can make more accurate diagnoses
and choose appropriate treatments.
