Webinar: Equine Endocrine Testing

Date: April 27 - April 27, 2016

Description:

Wednesday | April 27, 2016 | 7:00 p.m. EDT (6:00 p.m. CDT, 5:00 MDT, 4:00 PDT)Equine endocrine diseases are commonly encountered in the primary care setting, yet they can be challenging to diagnose and manage. Strategies for diagnostic testing continually evolve as understanding of disease pathophysiology improves and new tests are developed. When test results and clinical presentation are incongruent, the clinician must decide how best to utilize these tools to manage cases. In this presentation, we will discuss general principles of endocrine testing, followed by specific testing strategies for several clinical situations in geriatric, adult, and neonatal horses. In addition to current diagnostic test recommendations for Equine Metabolic Syndrome and pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction, topics will include thyroid dysfunction and calcium disorders. We will also explore how to utilize endocrine tests to guide treatment decisions.
