In this practice-oriented webinar, Geert Paes discusses step by step everything a veterinarian needs to know about acute pancreatitis in dogs. The webinar begins with an overview of the pathophysiology, prevalence, and typical clinical presentation, followed by an in-depth discussion of the diagnostic approach: which tests are reliable, how results should be interpreted, and which common pitfalls should be avoided.
The second part of the webinar provides practical, evidence-based treatment guidelines based on current insights and recommendations, including supportive therapy, nutritional management, and potential future therapeutic options.
After completing this webinar, participants will be fully up to date and better equipped to manage patients with acute pancreatitis with increased confidence, knowledge, and clinical insight.
The webinar has an approximate duration of two hours and consists of short videos based on a pre-recorded presentation. Participants will also receive a practical treatment protocol for acute pancreatitis in dogs.
This webinar is intended for veterinarians and veterinary nurses/technicians.
In diesem Modul liegt der Schwerpunkt zunächst auf dem korrekten Einsatz von Antibiotika.
Antibiotika sind essenziell bei der Behandlung verschiedener Infektionskrankheiten. Aufgrund der zunehmend auftretenden Antibiotikaresistenzen sind sie jedoch nicht immer wirksam. Da eine der wichtigsten treibenden Kräfte hinter der Antibiotikaresistenz der übermäßige und unsachgemäße Einsatz von Antibiotika ist, liegt es in der Verantwortung von Tierärztinnen und Tierärzten sowie Ärztinnen und Ärzten, Antibiotika korrekt anzuwenden. In diesem Modul lernen Sie:
Wann, welches und wie lange Sie Antibiotika bei verschiedenen Formen von Harnwegsinfektionen, Atemwegsinfektionen, Hauterkrankungen und gastrointestinalen Erkrankungen einsetzen sollten
Welche Antibiotika vor, während und nach einer Operation empfohlen werden und wie Sie bei einer postoperativen Infektion vorgehen sollten
Anschließend werden in diesem Modul einige wichtige und häufig vorkommende infektiöse Erkrankungen behandelt, wie zum Beispiel vektorübertragene Infektionen, FIV und FeLV sowie FIP.
Sie haben 6 Wochen Zeit, um das gesamte Modul zu absolvieren. Das Modul muss in der vorgegebenen Reihenfolge durchlaufen werden und besteht aus einer abwechslungsreichen Kombination aus interessantem Lesematerial und Dokumenten (z. B. Schritt-für-Schritt-Plänen/Protokollen) sowie Online-Webinaren.

Sie haben 6 Wochen Zeit, um das gesamte Modul abzuschließen. Die Inhalte bestehen aus einer abwechslungsreichen Mischung verschiedener Lernformate, darunter kompakte Lesematerialien und Dokumente (z. B. klinische Protokolle und Schritt-für-Schritt-Pläne), On-Demand-Webinare sowie Quizze.
FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus)—commonly known as feline leukemia and feline AIDS—are highly contagious infections frequently encountered in cats. When a cat tests positive for one of these infections, many questions arise—not only regarding prognosis and possible treatment for the affected individual, but also concerning diagnostics, treatment, and prevention for any in-contact cats.
In the past, a diagnosis of FeLV and/or FIV was often associated with a poor prognosis. But is that still justified in light of current knowledge?
In this 3-hour training, you’ll receive a comprehensive update and expert guidance on FeLV and FIV in cats.
We will address key questions such as:
How are FeLV and FIV transmitted, and which cats are at highest risk?
What is the course of a FeLV infection? Do all infected cats become ill, or can some overcome the infection
What is the expected prognosis for cats with an FeLV infection?
What is the course of a FIV infection?
Do all infected cats become ill, or can some overcome the infection? What is the expected prognosis?
How can we reliably diagnose FeLV and FIV infections?
Are there any treatment options available for FeLV- and/or FIV-positive cats?
What is the role of vaccination, and what other strategies exist for preventing infection?
The course is divided into multiple chapters. Each chapter features a short video of a pre-recorded lecture. You’ll also find practice questions, recommended reading materials, and downloadable handouts of the full presentation. Questions for the instructor can be submitted through the online forum.
This module begins with a strong focus on the responsible and evidence-based use of antibiotics.
Antibiotics play a critical role in the treatment of a wide range of infectious diseases. However, their effectiveness is increasingly compromised by the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Since inappropriate and excessive use of antibiotics is one of the primary drivers of resistance, it is the responsibility of both veterinarians and physicians to ensure that antibiotics are used judiciously and correctly.
In this module, you will learn:
When to prescribe antibiotics, which agents to choose, and for how long—across various presentations such as urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and gastrointestinal conditions.
Which antibiotics are recommended pre-, peri-, and post-operatively, and how to manage suspected or confirmed post-operative infections.
The second part of this module covers several important and frequently encountered infectious diseases, including vector-borne infections, FIV, FeLV, and FIP.
You will have 6 weeks to complete the entire module. The content must be followed in the designated sequence and consists of a varied mix of educational formats, including concise reading materials and documents (e.g., clinical protocols and step-by-step plans), on-demand webinars, and podcasts.
At the end of the module, you will complete a final quiz. This assessment also serves as a learning opportunity, with each answer accompanied by a brief explanation to reinforce your understanding.
Constipation—or infrequent and difficult defecation—is a common issue in (older) cats. While obstipation, the result of repeated and severe constipation, is seen less frequently, most practicing veterinarians will still encounter it at some point. Recurrent episodes of constipation and obstipation may eventually lead to megacolon.
In this practical training, which is suitable for both vets and support staff, we begin by exploring the pathophysiology of constipation and obstipation in cats, along with their various underlying causes and the recommended diagnostic work-up. We then focus on treatment options. You’ll learn about the acute management of constipation (did you know there are more cat-friendly alternatives than enemas?) as well as long-term treatment and prevention strategies for this often frustrating condition.
This webinar takes approximately one hour to complete and is divided into short chapters, each featuring a concise video. Participants receive handouts covering the full lecture, as well as a practical treatment protocol for managing constipation in cats. The course also includes a final quiz to test your knowledge.
