Free Webinar- Understanding aging in dogs: From principles to practice

Next week, I am giving a free webinar in collaboration with Dr. Monica Tarantino and Dr. Lisa Lipman of the Senior and Geriatric Dog Society!

What you’ll learn:

  • Understand how a familiarity with the underlying mechanisms informs clinical assessment and treatment of senior canine patients.
  • Explore the clinical manifestations of aging and how to assess the needs of senior patients.
  • Learn how to set up a consistent, systematic program for evaluating and caring for senior dogs in your practice.

This program has been RACE-approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval.

    last time i try to get my required by law CE in bed. Fell asleep about 7;50pm est and woke up afterwards. If i had fallen asleep five minutes after it started bet i could have gotten the one hour credit. Every time i go on the internet now I am plastered with dog Rapamycin ads telling me how scientifically proven it is. Must remind myself that when quack quack off what they do is promote unproven medical care in the market place. Any chance your CE is online somewhere before my bedtime?

    sorry the saying goes when quacks quack off. I have seen the Rapamycin dog ad about dozen times now. Every day when i go to Facebook i see it. At lease no one at the office has ask why I do not try it when the government lets them advertise it as scientific on Facebook.

    Just found this website. Thank you for doing so much heavy lifting for the rest of us! I was trying to find a recent review on cold laser therapy for “all the things” for cats and dogs. Anything more recent than 2016? Again, much appreciated.

    Plan to watch this webinar, thank you for sharing the info.

    Thanks!

    I need to review the cold laser literature, for sure! Hard to find the time to revisit all the topics I’ve covered, but I will be sure and put that one on the list.

    I suspect what elon musk said today( below) for humans might be true in dogs also. I wonder how Elon Musk has enough time to even know currently what’s going on in the medical field. The press puts out so much click bait anti GLP inhibitor articles out now most people do not even want to admit they are taking these drugs. If you take them please tell your friends and if you can pressure the government to make them more available to get their cost down. GLP inhibitors work in dogs and are safe yet none of these drugs are available approved by the FDA with a dog label. My guess is that’s because if the cost was low enough for people to use them for dogs people would buy them from their veterinarian and take the dog pill themselves because they could not afford the human FDA approved injection or pill . The government FDA regulators and drug makers would look bad if half of the country was taking dog pills to extend their life. We also need to have a conversation about why we need to give GLP inhibitors in injectable form when many are also available in a pill form. The old saying goes from your first year in veterinary school “if the gut works use it”. If insulin was absorbed orally no one would be injecting themselves or their dogs with insulin if they were diabetic.

    @elonmusk
    Nothing would do more to improve the health, lifespan and quality of life for Americans than making GLP inhibitors super low cost to the public.
    Nothing else is even close.
