Dogs vs Cats: Practical Ophthalmology for the New Graduate

Dr Vicki Liddle & Dr Ben Reynolds

What You'll Learn

Dogs and cats share many ophthalmic diseases, but important species differences influence how ocular disease presents and how it should be investigated. This lecture will highlight the most clinically relevant differences between canine and feline eyes, with a focus on conditions commonly encountered in general practice. Practical tips will be provided to help new graduates recognise species-specific diseases, interpret ophthalmic findings and determine when referral is appropriate.
