Learn MoreCourse Description
We’ve brought together a Master course for everything endocrine!
The consequences of hormonal changes are often difficult to confirm and tricky to treat, especially in general practice. Celebrated speaker, Dr. Andrew Bugbee simplifies updated approaches to screening, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of disorders commonly referred to specialty care. He’ll break down Addison’s disease, Cushing’s syndrome, diabetes, and thyroid dysfunction with clear distinctions. Then, we’ll close up with practical management guidance for diabetic ketoacidosis from Dr. Stuart Walton.
If you have questions on new oral medications for diabetes, wearable glucose monitors for pets, or simplified monitoring of Cushing’s and Addison’s disease, this course is for you!
Through this IntroVet® On-Demand Course, you’ll earn 6 hours of RACE Approved CE. Upon successfully passing the final assessment (quiz), you’ll receive an instantly downloadable CE Certificate. Your Display Certificate will be mailed approximately 30 days after completion of the program and passage of each assessment.

Part One
Improving Outcomes in Canine Hypercortisolism Management
We will review a diagnostic approach to confirming hypercortisolism in dogs as well as recommended therapeutic interventions. We will then focus on different monitoring protocols commonly used in veterinary practice and how to address persistent co-morbidities.
Estimated time to complete: 1 to 1.5 hours
Part Two
Hypoadrenocorticism
We will review clues suggesting Addison’s disease in small animals and our approach to screening and/or confirming the diagnosis. We will discuss the different types of Addison’s and differences in how we approach therapy and monitoring of the condition.
Estimated time to complete: 1 to 1.5 hours
Part Three
Updates in Canine Diabetic Management
This lecture will review historical approaches to diabetic management in dogs and introduce newer therapies that are becoming more common in veterinary medicine. We will work through trouble-shooting common challenges encountered with diabetic monitoring in dogs and discuss factors that should be influencing our treatment recommendations.
Estimated time to complete: 1 to 1.5 hours

Non-insulin Therapies for Managing Diabetic Feline Patients
We will review common treatment approaches to managing hyperglycemia in cats, including an introduction to new insulin options available to clinicians.

Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Diabetes ketoacidosis arises from the progression from unregulated diabetes or insulin resistance.

During this presentation, clinicians will learn about the practical assessment and minimum diagnostics essential for a DKA patient. Viewers will cover subtle nuances with regard to treatment for a successful outcome and the long term management of these patients.
