CONTENT DESCRIPTION
The lame cat is a common presentation in small animal practice, yet it has remained a diagnostic and treatment challenge for both owners and veterinarians. In this session, we will discuss tips and tricks on how to recognize lameness in cats, perform a thorough orthopedic examination and secure a definitive diagnosis. The panelists will furthermore go through common diseases of the elbow and stifle, as well as some of the challenges of osteoarthritis diagnosis, nutritional related diseases, septic arthritis, and rare causes of lameness that every feline practitioner needs to know about.
