Program Description:
The clinical signs of liver disease are often non-specific, which makes the diagnosis of feline liver disease challenging. This session will focus on how to recognize and characterize liver disease in cats. We will discuss how signalment, history, and the minimum diagnostic database can be used to make specific diagnoses or guide advanced diagnostic strategies. Case examples will be provided to illustrate features of inflammatory, metabolic, and congenital hepatobiliary disease in cats.
Learning Objectives:
1. To define the spectrum of clinical signs associated with feline hepatobiliary disease.
2. To review the physiology behind liver enzyme abnormalities.
3. To characterize the 3 sub-types of feline cholangitis based on signalment, history, minimum database, and diagnostic imaging findings.
