Topics in Gastroenterology:
Kitten Diarrhea - Make it Stop!
Acute GI Disease - Changing Approaches and Long-term Consequences
Probiotics in Practice - Are we using them correctly?
Presented by: Adam Rudinsky, DVM, MS, DACVIM
In this Central NY Academy of Continuing Education online CE event, Dr. Adam Rudinsky, MS, DACVIM reviews the practical application of microbiome therapeutics, updates on acute diarrhea management, and new perspectives on the ever-frustrating problem of kitten diarrhea management in small animal practice. We will begin the 3- hour seminar with session discussion regarding microbiome treatment modalities and targeted approaches available to improve the health and well-being of our enteropathy patient population. We will then follow that session with two deep dive sessions in acute diarrhea and kitten diarrhea management. These sessions will examine key points in clinical management and patient assessment and explain how they impact our treatment decisions and shifting perspectives on these common clinical syndromes. Tune in to get a clinical update on appropriate strategies to screen, diagnose and treat your diarrhea patients.
Learning Objectives:
1. Review the concept of dysbiosis, its presence in gastrointestinal cases, prevalence, and diagnostic process to assess these patients. (Lecture 1)
2. Discuss the available treatment modalities available for microbiome management of enteropathy patients. (Lecture 1)
3. Review how to use patient information to optimize microbiome therapeutic selection in patient management. (Lecture 1)
4. Provide overview knowledge of the updated treatment recommendations for acute diarrhea in dogs and cats (Lecture 2).
5. Review the outcomes associated with antimicrobial recommendations for treatment of acute diarrhea in dogs and cats. (Lecture 2)
6. Review recent literature on other antibiotic sparing treatment options for treating acute diarrhea in dogs and cats. (Lecture 2)
7. Apply treatment options for acute diarrhea management to case-based scenarios. (Lecture 2)
8. Review the core infectious differentials, their prevalence in kitten gastrointestinal cases and the diagnostic process to assess these patients. (Lecture 3)
9. Discuss recent insights into new pathophysiologic processes in the frequency of treatment refractors kitten diarrhea. (Lecture 3)
10. Review how to use patient information to optimize microbiome therapeutics and dietary management for restorative effect in pediatric kitten management. (Lecture 3)
11. Review links between specific treatment approaches and long-term consequences during the feline gastrointestinal developmental period. (Lecture 3)
