| A head tilt in a rabbit is often attributed to issues within the ear or brain. The two primary causes of head tilting in rabbits are inner ear infections and Encephalitozoon cuniculi, a small parasite that induces brain swelling. This presentation will delve into the comprehensive management of rabbits with head tilt, covering topics such as diagnostic procedures, laboratory work, and the development of effective treatment plans. |

Dieter Everaert graduated from Ghent University in 2004 with a major in small animals and a minor in exotics. His focus on exotics included ferrets, rabbits, rodents, birds, reptiles, fish, and amphibians. In December 2004, he established a private practice in Herent, which relocated to Wilsele in 2013 and then to a larger clinic in Lubbeek in 2022. In 2021, he joined Nesto, a veterinary corporation in Belgium, and the clinic was renamed CURIOVET. His approach always emphasizes accurate diagnosis before treatment, making CURIOVET the first practice in Belgium to have a Cone Beam CT and in-house PCR. |

| Feline leukemia virus (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), and feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), caused by feline coronavirus, are three major feline viral infections of clinical significance. Despite the availability of some diagnostic tests, diagnosing these three viral diseases remains a challenge in clinical practice. In this webinar, we will discuss the approaches and challenges involved in effectively diagnosing FeLV, FIV, and FIP in the clinic. |

| The role of cPL in canine pancreatitis |
|
The pancreas plays a crucial role in digestion and regulating blood sugar levels. Pancreatitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the pancreas. Traditionally, pancreatitis in dogs has been diagnosed by measuring levels of two enzymes, serum amylase and serum lipase, but these tests are not always reliable. A more reliable indicator is pancreas-specific lipase, which is produced only in the pancreas and increases in response to pancreatic inflammation. Unlike serum lipase, which can come from other tissues, pancreas-specific lipase is specific to the pancreas. Additionally, it is cleared from the blood rapidly, making it useful for monitoring treatment response. In dogs, studies have shown that canine pancreas-specific lipase (cPL) has a high accuracy in diagnosing pancreatitis. High levels of cPL indicate a 96% likelihood of pancreatitis, making it the best blood test available for diagnosing this condition in dogs. |
|
It's important to consider a cPL test for the following situations: - Dogs showing signs of sudden onset or recurring episodes of vomiting, abdominal pain, or loss of appetite.
- Dogs at increased risk for pancreatitis, such as Miniature Schnauzers.
- Dogs receiving potassium bromide anticonvulsant therapy.
cPL Diagnosis: 1. The cPL test is a quick in-clinic test that can determine if pancreatitis may be causing a pet's illness within just a few minutes. 2. Alternatively, the sample can be sent to a laboratory to obtain the actual cPL value, which can help confirm the diagnosis of pancreatitis. Other diagnoses of pancreatitis in dogs: - Your dog's medical history
- Blood tests to measure pancreatic enzymes
- Physical examination including stomach, gums, heart, and temperature
- Radiographs or ultrasound to rule out other causes
- Fine needle aspiration of the pancreas
