Dreaded Dirofilaria!
Dirofilaria immitis is being seen in the UK, not only in pets travelling abroad on the Pet Passport scheme but, more commonly, from dogs imported from countries where heartworm is endemic. This webinar explores the clinical signs that cats and dogs infected with D.immitis exhibit, the diagnostic tests used and your treatment/ preventative options. As veterinary professionals within the UK it is becoming more and more important for us to identify animals infected with these parasites.

Liz graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2006. She started her veterinary career in mixed practice in the East Ridings of Yorkshire, UK. However, she soon realised that she wanted to pursue a Specialist career. In 2008, Liz joined the University of Cambridge to undertake a rotating internship and then moved to the University of Manchester in 2009 to start a PhD. Her PhD focused on pathophysiology of heart failure and ageing, and was undertaken in the medical department. She gained her thesis in 2013 before starting a residency at the University of Edinburgh (where she met Scott and Andy). In 2016 Liz joined the University of Liverpool as a lecturer and subsequently senior lecturer. She was awarded her Diploma in 2017 and became a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2019.
In 2020 she took the leap into private practice and joined Chestergates Veterinary Specialists based in Chester, UK. She also had her first child that same year (it was very busy!). She has been at Chestergates ever since, and has been promoted to Clinical Director and now Senior Clinical Director. She was awarded FRCVS for her Meritorious Contributions to Clinical Practice in 2022.
