The Green Patient: An Approach to Gastrointestinal Disease in Dogs & Cats

Is gastrointestinal disease leaving you feeling green? This practical and case-focused webinar explores a structured, problem-solving approach to both acute and chronic alimentary disorders in dogs and cats. From common presentations to more elusive diagnoses, we’ll guide you through the clinical decision-making process and highlight the latest advances in treatment.

Discover how to differentiate between self-limiting cases and those requiring deeper investigation, and get up to speed with emerging therapies—including the promising role of faecal microbiota transplants in managing complex or refractory GI conditions.

Key Topics Include:
• Choosing appropriate treatment strategies for acute vomiting and diarrhoea.
• Tackling diagnostic challenges in chronic gastrointestinal disease.
• Reviewing current and emerging therapeutic options in small animal GI care.

Whether you’re in general practice or a referral setting, this session will provide practical insights to improve outcomes for your “green” patients.
