Feline Pancreatitis: What is the Evidence and Consensus
The objectives of this lecture are to summarize the various potential causes of feline pancreatitis and understand the proposed pathogenetic mechanisms of pancreatitis, describe the various diagnostic modalities that can be employed to rule out or diagnose pancreatitis in a cat, review therapies for mild, moderate, and severe pancreatitis, including potential scenarios for the use of corticosteroids.
Easy to Diagnose, But easy to Miss, Feline Cholangitis
