About this course

Managing diabetic cats takes considerable time and commitment for both veterinarians and owners. Although sometimes challenging, feline diabetic cases can be incredibly rewarding and lead to a strong working relationship between veterinary practices and pet owners, especially when good outcomes are achieved.

Free webinar
This complimentary CPD evening by the RVC’s Diabetic Remission Clinic Team will increase your confidence in managing diabetic cats and help you achieve the best for diabetic cats and their owners.

If you’ve asked yourself any of the following questions, this evening is for you:

  • What’s the latest news in feline diabetic management?
  • Does the pathogenesis of diabetes differ between patients, and why is this important?
  • What is diabetic remission and how can my management of diabetic cats encourage this?
  • I think my diabetic cat patient is entering remission! What do I do?
  • How can my practice help advance our understanding of the best treatments for diabetic cats?

Please join us for this live webinar, there will be an opportunity for Questions & Answers at the end of the session and you will gain a CPD certificate for 2 hours.

This event is free but spaces are limited, to secure your place, please book online as soon as possible.

The webinar will take place via Zoom, registration will be from 7:00pm with the webinar starting at 7:15pm. A recording of the webinar will be available to view for a further 2 weeks.
 

We are also looking for participants for a research trial investigating how dietary change can promote diabetic remission.

The RVC Diabetic Remission Clinic is recruiting for a 1-year trial examining the ability of a new prescription diet to promote weight loss and diabetic remission in overweight cats with diabetes mellitus. The trial period will last for 1 year; cats will only be fed the test diet for the first 12 weeks and will be then monitored up to 52 weeks. Patients will attend 5-7 consultations at the RVC Queen Mother Hospital for Animals at the RVC in Hertfordshire. The project will also investigate how achieving diabetic remission, and weight loss, affects the gut microbiome of diabetic cats.
