Join us in-person or virtually for the final seminar of the 2026-2027 Small Animal Series on Weds. May 12, 2027!
Join us for a day of expert instruction, collaborative learning, and practical feline medicine that will help you deliver better care for your feline patients and strengthen relationships with the clients who love them.
Cats have unique medical needs, subtle clinical signs, and distinct handling requirements that can make diagnosis and treatment especially challenging. Join us for an engaging, in-person feline medicine seminar designed for small animal veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and support staff who are committed to providing exceptional feline care.
This practical, case-based seminar will explore common feline diseases and current best practices in diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management. Topics may include chronic kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, lower urinary tract disease, gastrointestinal disorders, pain management, and creating a more feline-friendly practice. You'll also gain practical tips for reducing stress during examinations and improving the client experience.
