We know that skin disease is the most common reason for pets to visit their vet outside of routine health checks. Another thing we know is that over 1 in 10 cats and dogs are atopic and will require lifelong management1-3 - but how can vet nurses support patients through the lengthy process of diagnosis and treatment?

Dani McCabe is a Veterinary Nurse in a Dermatology Specialist practice in New Zealand and a candidate with the American Academy of Dermatology Veterinary Technicians.
Dani will join Dr. Julie Summerfield in a cutting edge and practical session on how Veterinary Nurses can add value for Dermatology patients and their practice:

  • Performing diagnostic tests and managing patients
  • Education to support clients through dietary elimination trials and beyond
  • Sharing latest research and practical tips & tricks

Dr. Julie will wrap up with information on how precise nutrition can support dermatology patients.

CPD points are available for watching this webinar live or viewing it on-demand for up to seven days after it airs for Vet Nurses (AVNAT & NZVNA).
