About this course

One in three diabetic cats can be cured. Acromegaly can occur in non-diabetic cats. Feline diabetes CAN be treated without injections. If you are curious about these statements, you will definitely learn a lot during this course on feline endocrinology!

In the past decade, significant advances have occurred in the field of feline endocrinology. Achieving diabetic remission is now, rightly or wrongly, heavily promoted, there is an additional option for the treatment of hyperthyroidism (but which option is best?) and acromegaly is now recognised as a severely underdiagnosed endocrinopathy in diabetic cats, as well as non-diabetic cats. In summary – lots to discuss!

Why do this course?
You will feel much more confident about managing your feline cases with hormonal disease. 

The webinars for this course will be pre-recorded and can be viewed as recorded versions throughout the course. A live Q&A session with the tutor will run on the following dates at 1pm London time

Live Q&A dates:
Thursday 17th March
