Day 1:
The first day covers ear diseases in dogs and cats. Ear diseases are common in small animal. Therefore, this course will provide a review about pathophysiology of the ears based on primary/secondary causes and predisposing/perpetuating factors, followed by diagnostic tests (cytology, bacteriology, otoscopy/video-otoscopy and imaging), and management. The afternoon will be dedicated to practical applications (ear exams, otoscopy/video-otoscopy, ear flush, microscopy) and case discussions related to ear diseases and management.
Day 2:
The second day starts with topical therapies, which is one of the most important part of dermatological interventions. Based on the knowledge, we will expand how topical therapies are incorporated in some common dermatological diseases, bacterial pyoderma and non-symmetrical alopecia. The rest of the day will offer nodular skin diseases combined with practical diagnostic approach using microscopy.
