PANEL DISCUSSION DESCRIPTION
Cushing’s syndrome is one of the most common endocrinopathies in dogs. Diagnosis remains challenging and how to treat, especially how to monitor therapy, can be controversial. Questions which commonly arise are:
- “Which dog should I test for Cushing’s disease?”
- “Which diagnostic test(s) should I do considering accuracy and cost?”
- “Should I recommend surgery or medical treatment and why?”
- “How do I know my patient is responding to medical therapy and I am not overdosing?”
- “How do I handle concurrent diseases?”
- “What if my patient is a cat?”
Join our international panel of world leading experts for a lively discussion on patient selection, diagnostic testing (screening and differentiation), and therapeutic selection and monitoring for dogs and cats with hypercortisolism. Concise updates on the current state of knowledge will also be included and case studies will be shared. Attending vets' questions and comments will be welcomed.
