Topic: Diagnosis and Treatment of Diseases of the Feline Oral Cavity
Webinar Description:
Three common inflammatory oral diseases in feline patients are periodontal disease, tooth resorption, and stomatitis. Knowing that they can display similar pathogenic behavior at various stages of the disease process is essential when working up inflammatory oral diseases. Hence, diagnosing these diseases requires multiple diagnostic tests and a thorough patient history.
Treatment of these conditions requires a multimodal approach involving medical therapy, surgical intervention, and home care. With the support of our specialists, these conditions can be diagnosed and treated in general practice. This webinar will review the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of feline periodontal disease, tooth resorption, and stomatitis.
