An introduction to endocrine diseases for veterinary nurses
Endocrine diseases are some of the most common long-term diseases we see as veterinary nurses. From diagnosis to inpatient care, treatment and nurse consultations we can make an enormous difference to the care of these patients. This webinar will examine the mechanisms behind diabetes mellitus, Cushing’s disease, Addison’s disease, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, as well as the common diagnostic tests performed, treatment options and nursing considerations, both inside the practice and as an outpatient.
