About this course

Canine and feline hepatobiliary disease encompasses a wide range of conditions that can be challenging to diagnose and at times, frustrating to treat.  Animals can present with mild, vague signs and have advanced, irreversible underlying disease or alternatively they may be critically ill but able to make a complete recovery. 

This webinar aims to refresh your knowledge and understanding of the principles and methods used to diagnose different types of hepatobiliary disease in dogs and cats as well as providing general guidelines for successful management.       

Other diagnostic tests are discussed in this webinar: Assessing hepatobiliary clinical pathology

This webinar is week 2 of the course Webinar Plus: Diagnosis and management of hepatobiliary disorders so there may be references to other weeks.

The complete course is available Recorded Webinar Plus: Diagnosis and management of hepatobiliary diseases and contains all of the learning material (webinars, reading material, slides, self assessment exercises) but is not tutor moderated. A set of FAQs is available which represent the questions and concerns previous participants have had and the tutor responses.
