Bitesize canine Cushing’s syndrome series on Dechra Academy

A bitesize series of six webinars covering diagnosis, management and treatment of dogs with Cushing’s syndrome has been added to the Dechra Academy website.

The 30-to-45-minute webinars join others that have been added to the new-look site over December and January.

The latest series features information on Dechra’s predictor tool, which is available on the Dechra Endocrine App, to help vets identify and progress suspected Cushingoid cases to a definitive diagnosis.

The importance of ongoing monitoring to optimise control of the syndrome together with practical tips and tricks to help owners maximise compliance and optimise the quality of life of patients are also included.
