Chronic or non-healing corneal ulcers in dogs can be frustrating for the patient, owner and the veterinary staff involved. This webinar is designed for veterinary professionals seeking to deepen their understanding and refine their skills in treating persistent corneal ulcers. Participants will review corneal anatomy and the process of corneal healing and explore the underlying causes that contribute to delayed healing, including breed predispositions, systemic diseases, and physical factors. The session will provide a comprehensive overview of therapeutic options, from enhanced medical protocols to interventions such as corneal burring, grid keratotomy and conjunctival grafting (and most importantly when to pick up, and put down, the cotton tips!). Practical tips for managing pain, preventing secondary infections, and promoting corneal healing will be discussed, along with case studies that highlight successful treatment strategies. By the end of this webinar, veterinary professionals will be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to improve outcomes in dogs with stubborn corneal ulcers, ensuring better ocular health and quality of life for their patients.

Chemotherapy in pets often carries a lot of misconceptions, especially when compared to human cancer treatment. In this webinar, we'll explore how chemotherapy for pets differs significantly from human therapy, with most pets feeling well throughout treatment. 10-20% of pets experience mild chemotherapy side effects, <5% require hospitalisation, and <1% result in death. But why do humans typically get sick from chemotherapy, while most pets do not? We'll dive into the realities of chemotherapy, addressing both the good and the bad, and provide the truths that every veterinarian should know. We'll also discuss some challenging cases and the less-discussed aspects of chemotherapy. Whether you're hesitant about recommending chemotherapy or simply want to better inform your clients, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to navigate this complex topic. Additionally, this webinar will help you navigate the often-uncomfortable conversation about chemotherapy with pet owners. At the end of the day, your role is to inform, not to dictate what clients should or shouldn't do—it's ultimately the client’s decision. We'll provide you with the tools to present the information clearly and compassionately, empowering your clients to make informed choices about their pet’s care.

The skin is one of the most common sites for cancer in pets, and in dogs, approximately one in three skin masses are malignant. In this webinar, we will delve into the history, physical examination, and diagnostic approach for dogs presenting with a skin mass. The primary focus will be on the cancer biology, prognosis, diagnostics, and treatment options for the two most common skin tumours in dogs: soft tissue sarcoma and mast cell tumour. We’ll also cover other less common, yet clinically relevant, skin tumours such as squamous cell carcinoma, papilloma, melanoma, plasma cell tumour and lymphoma. To enhance your learning experience, there will be an interactive “What is your diagnosis?” questions on various cytology slides of skin tumours in dogs. This presentation is designed for primary care and specialist veterinarians who wish to deepen their understanding of how to approach a dog with a skin mass in everyday clinical practice.
