2025 Small Animal Clinical Nutrition Symposium - When the Skin Speaks: Uncovering Disease through Dermatological Changes
- $0
Instructor: Anri Celliers, BSc, BVSc (Hons), MMedVet (Med), Dipl. ECVIM-CA
CE Credits Earned: 1
The skin is the largest organ of the body and the first thing you see when your patient walks in the door. In some cases, it may serve as a sentinel for disease by being the first or only indicator of a systemic disorder. Because the skin functions as an external defense barrier, changes can reflect its inability to maintain this defense, either due to specific skin factors or disease in various organ systems. Broadly, cutaneous manifestations of systemic disease can be categorized into endocrine, immune-mediated, paraneoplastic, metabolic and nutritional causes. However, for ease of creating a more targeted list, differentials can be grouped by visual skin changes.

The emergence of Atypical and Indolent Lymphomas in Dogs
- $40
Instructor: Dr. Raelene Wouda
CE Credits Earned: 1
Whilst diffuse large B-cell lymphoma remains the most commonly diagnosed form of the disease in dogs, several less common forms of lymphoma are being recognized with increasing frequency, and account for up to 30% of canine lymphoma cases in some studies. These atypical subtypes of lymphoma warrant a unique diagnostic perspective and approach to case management, which will be discussed during this presentation.

Pediatric Dentistry
- $40
Instructor: Dr. Douglas Winter
CE Credits Earned: 1
This presentation will focus on the most common pediatric dental conditions encountered in the veterinary practice. Pediatric dentistry generally refers to issues encountered in the first 12 months of life. During the time of development of the dental structures, there are many problems that can occur which will lead to significant pain and disease. As with most other oral conditions, our patients rarely show outward signs of disease. It is the responsibility of the veterinarian and support staff to recognize normal versus abnormal development and be able to offer appropriate treatment to resolve these issues.
