A crisis of calcium

Internal Medicine | ECC | 112 mins

Although disorders of calcium metabolism are relatively common in dogs and cats, they are frequently difficult to diagnose clinically. However, improvements in the laboratory assessment of calcium homeostasis have greatly increased the understanding of these conditions and simplified their diagnosis. This webinar describes the general diagnostic approach to these disorders and considers the management of individual diseases. These cases can be challenging from start to finish, from PTH to vitamin D and back again! We will also focus on the emergency and longer-term management of calcium levels. How quickly do we need to get those levels down?
