Triaditis in cats is a complex condition characterized by simultaneous inflammation of the liver (cholangitis), pancreas (pancreatitis), and small intestine (chronic enteropathy). Correct recognition and treatment of this condition are crucial for a successful outcome. However, obtaining a definitive diagnosis can be challenging, as it often requires biopsy sampling of all three organ systems.
In this practical continuing education course, specifically developed for practicing veterinarians, you will receive a comprehensive and clear overview of the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of triaditis in cats. The course is designed to be highly practical and focuses on providing directly applicable tools to help clinicians recognize and manage this condition in everyday practice.
The training takes a minimum of 2 hours to complete and consists of several chapters containing short videos of a pre-recorded PowerPoint presentation. Participants will also receive handouts of the complete course. In addition, the course provides practical guidance on the placement of an esophagostomy feeding tube, as well as an information sheet for owners on the care of esophagostomy tubes.
Participants can ask questions via email or through the online forum.
Geert Paes, DVM, Dip ECVIM-ca After graduating as a veterinarian in 2006 from the University of Ghent, Geert completed an internship and residency in small animal internal medicine. She remained at the university until 2012, after which she moved to Western Canada. There, she spent several years working in first-line practice, before transitioning back into emergency and referral medicine. This experience gave her a deep understanding of the realities of clinical practice and a strong appreciation for the challenges faced by general practitioners on a daily basis.
Geert has been a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ECVIM-CA) since 2017 and is (co-)author of several scientific publications. She currently works as a specialist at Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital in Surrey, Canada, and as a teleconsultant.
However, what truly sets Geert apart is her passion for teaching. She is known for her ability to explain complex topics in a clear, accessible, and practical way, making internal medicine understandable for every veterinarian—regardless of their level of experience. Her teaching style is characterized by clear explanations, additional context, and a strong focus on clinical reasoning.
Having worked in first-line practice herself, Geert strongly believes that the “ideal scenario” is not always achievable. Her goal is not only to teach what the gold standard (Plan A) looks like, but also to equip veterinarians with the tools and confidence to make well-reasoned decisions when they need to rely on Plan B or Plan C.
Her courses are highly valued for their practical approach and direct applicability in daily practice, and her enthusiasm for internal medicine is contagious—she consistently succeeds in inspiring others to develop the same passion.
Driven by this vision, Geert founded OnlineVetTraining (OVT) in 2019, with the aim of providing accessible, high-quality, and clinically relevant education for veterinarians and veterinary professionals worldwide.
