Presented by: Julia Miller, DVM, DACVD

The first hour will be spent discussing when diet trials are appropriate and how to successfully complete them. Diet selection, diet trial rules, and trips and tricks for owner buy in will all be discussed. The second hour will discuss the ins and outs of managing chronic, exudative otitis externa. From management of underlying causes to how to approach ears that have a biofilm, this hour will cover the management of chronic, recurrent OE from start to finish. The final lecture hour will cover diseases of the hind end dogs (and some cats). Anal sacculitis, perianal fistulas, AGASACA, autoimmune disorders, tail gland hyperplasia, and pruritus ani will all be covered. A diagnostic approach for each condition will be discussed so that the participant can feel confident in differentiating between these differentials. After the final lecture, approximately 10-15 minutes will be allotted for question and answer
