Who is this course for? This course is primarily intended to provide further information on specific conditions to owners, but other pet and veterinary professionals are also welcome.
Finding out that your dog has pancreatitis can be worrying. For some dogs it is a one off, but for many it is the start of a long road of intermittent ‘flare ups’ of vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and hospitalization.
Digestive enzymes released prematurely cause damage to pancreatic cells and extreme pain. For many dogs, this is followed by progressive fibrosis and ongoing pancreatic damage, sometimes developing into secondary conditions like diabetes and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
Many owners want to take a more active and knowledgeable role in their dog’s health. This course is designed to help you do this by giving you as much information as possible on how we diagnose and treat chronic pancreatitis, and the options for dietary management.

Pre-booking is highly recommended – LIVE has been chosen instead of pre-recorded so that there are opportunities for questions, but it does mean that places ARE limited to ensure that everyone can ask questions if they need to.
(Please note – whilst there will be plenty of time for questions, please remember that (as I am not your dog’s own vet) I can only discuss general options and cannot make specific recommendations for your companion)
