Description
Diabetes is one of the most common hormonal disease in first opinion practices, treatment might be challenging for pet owners but can be exceedingly rewarding. Recent research shows that 1 in 10 diabetic pets are euthanased as soon as they are diagnosed with diabetes1 while other research has proven that the challenges and treatment concerns for the owners of newly diagnosed pets significantly reduce after starting treatment2 How we as vets communicate and manage the condition, understanding pet owners concerns and worries, can greatly impact pet owner decisions and confidence in successful management. We are just starting to recognise the benefits of keeping our medical approach flexible, simple and tailored to the owner lifestyle. The webinar will cover principles like: providing a comprehensive, patient centric diabetes approach; individualized treatment goals; addressing contributing factors and empowering owners to play an active part in the management of their diabetic pet.
