Did you see us in HK @IAVC?
We have recovered from our wonderful experience in HK at IVAC. What an incredible time! We had presentations from people ALL OVER ASIA PACIFIC!!!
What a buzz!!!
We were lead off by Dr Barom Yang from South Korea teaching us about her journey in the Nutritional Management of Diabetes Mellitus in Felines and Comparison of Major Prescription Diets
Then Dr Amy Lam from Sydney Australia - from the world’s only pituitary centre enlightened us on the management of feline hypersomatotropism - acromegaly inspiring more of us to test IGF-1 in diabetic cats and entire female dogs.
Dr Linda Fleeman from Melbourne Australia, then had our FULL attention as she showed us the wide range of presentations of dogs and cats with Cushings - Hyperadrenocorticism. and the the incredible change of life patients experience when their disease is well controlled.
Dr Chris Sun - a specialist in anaesthesia working in Hong Kong, then helped us with handy recommendations for anaethetising patients with uncontrolled hormonal diseases. Then Dr Katrina Sun - oncologist from Hong Kong enlightened us with with non-surgical options for adrenal tumours
