Management success in “Clinical Nutrition”
(Case oriented approach)
In the 5 sessions of our online series, we will present a great number of Nutrition clinical cases, which will allow you to take back the experience and knowledge shared by our Principal Course Masters: Dr. Irene Bruckner and Dr. Stefanie Handl into your daily practice.
The Full series consists of 5 online case discussion sessions, each 90-120 min long in which several problems will be interactively discussed in a live format. You will receive reading material prior to the beginning of each session. An open forum will be set up for any questions and discussion for 1 week after each session and a „take home“ guide will be shared with you on our platform. The number of participants is limited in order to provide optimal interaction.

Nutrition first! Solving tough cases with simple questions
So, you are a clinician? You love a challenging case? You want to dive right in, draw that blood, do all those tests, run your fancy machines? STOP! Take time for a nutritional assessment!

Mellow yellow – Liver disease
The liver is at the centre of the entire metabolism. Different diseases and functional impairments of the liver can therefore affect different functions. With the right diet, we can relieve the strain on the liver and alleviate functional limitations.
We will present cases of chronic hepatopathy, feline hepatic lipidosis and portosystemic shunt.
Learning outcomes: In this webinar, the participants will learn to manage diets for different liver dieses.

Stuck in the middle with you – Pancreatic disease
Pancreatitis has become a frequent disease – or not? We will discuss if an elevated PLI always indicates pancreatitis and which dietary management those patients require.
EPI cases are easy to treat – we just give enzymes, right? While enzyme supplementation is the cornerstone of treatment, it does not bring the digestion back to normal, further aspects must be considered.
Learning outcomes: In this webinar, the participants will learn to manage the diet of dogs and cats with chronic pancreatic disease.

Sweets for my sweet – Diabetes
The right diet for animals, especially cats, with diabetes is still a subject of great debate and misunderstandings. Are carbs the enemy? What makes a “good diabetes diet”? What if my cat won’t eat it? Owners often have big expectations in dairy management, since this is what they know from human medicine, but treatment in animals is different.
Learning outcomes: In this webinar, the participants will learn to discuss pros and cons of different feeding regimens in diabetic patients.

Trick & Treat – Including treats into your dietary plan
We all love getting treats, and giving treats, right? Cookies when exercising, chewing items, special delicacies to hide drugs are part of everyday life of pet owners. It is therefore understandable that it is often the greatest fear of owners not to be able to give treats anymore when we need to implement a diet. But that fear is unnecessary! With knowledge about feed ingredients and nutritional values, we can recommend treats that won’t sabotage our diet regimen and will make owner & pet happy.
Learning outcomes: In this webinar, the participants will learn to choose treats and chewing snacks for dog and cats with different conditions and dietary restrictions.
