Managing canine hypercortisolism requires accurate diagnosis, thoughtful treatment planning, and consistent monitoring. This webinar combines two practical sessions designed to help veterinary professionals navigate each stage of patient care. Using real clinical cases, attendees will learn to recognize both classic and uncommon signs of hypercortisolism, select the most appropriate diagnostic tests for different scenarios, and interpret endocrine testing results with greater confidence while considering important differential diagnoses.
The treatment component explores the clinical use of trilostane, from selecting an appropriate starting dose to monitoring therapeutic success over time. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how to evaluate clinical improvement, interpret pre-medication plasma cortisol concentrations, and avoid common pitfalls associated with ACTH stimulation testing. These evidence-based strategies will help clinicians make informed treatment decisions and optimize long-term management for dogs with Cushing’s disease.
