CONTENT DESCRIPTION

Pancreatitis in dogs and cats can be a problem to diagnose and also a problem to treat. Clinical signs are non-specific, laboratory tests and diagnostic imaging are neither 100% sensitive nor specific and histological confirmation of disease is rarely obtained. The problem is compounded in cats by concurrent disease in the liver and pancreas in a proportion of cases. Treatment is largely supportive and severe acute pancreatitis has a high mortality rate, even with the best critical care therapy, whereas low grade chronic disease causes pain but may be under-recognised.

Join the internationally renowned multidisciplinary panel of specialist clinicals who look forward to discussing their approach to these cases and being honest about our agreements and disagreements! Questions and comments from the audience will be welcome and encouraged.   

Growing up outside of Chicago, near the Brookfield Zoo, Dr. ElizabethLiz Rozanski developed a love for veterinary medicine from age five. As a member of the Foster Hospital for Small Animals' Emergency and Critical Care team, she treats animals at one of the nation's busiest academic emergency rooms. She is board-certified in both internal medicine and emergency and critical care.

Dr. Rozanski graduated from the University of Illinois with her DVMdegree. After completing a residency in Philadelphia, she was drawn to Tufts by the position's combination of research, teaching, and service. She teaches toxicology and respiratory medicine throughout the four-year Cummings School DVM curriculum, and lectures in others. I love the students, she says. They are a continued source of inspiration and enthusiasm.

She has also been involved in student efforts to provide free rabies vaccinations in low-income housing in the City of Worcester, serves as a faculty mentor for summer student research projects, has raised funds for the American Heart Association (with her dog, Brie, named after one of her favorite cases at the Foster Hospital) through the Central Massachusetts Heart Walk, and lectures often at continuing education and community events. She is also the past president of the Veterinary Comparative Respiratory Society.

Dr. Rozanski's primary research interest is in respiratory function in small animals, and she recently co-authored, with the help of fellow faculty member Dr. John Rush, A Color Handbook of Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care Medicine (Manson, 2007). She lives near the school's Grafton campus with, as she notes, a menagerie of pets—all rescues.

Dr. Cridge graduated from University College Dublin in 2016 with a Bachelors Degree in Veterinary Medicine. Following graduation he moved to the US to complete an Internship and medicine residency at Mississippi State University. Alongside his residency Dr. Cridge also completed a Masters of Science degree. His thesis was entitled “Preliminary Investigations into Pharmacodynamic Monitoring of Cyclosporine in Cats”. He was awarded diplomate status of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine in 2021. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Small Animal Internal Medicine at Michigan State University, USA.

Penny graduated from Cambridge in 1989 and after spending 4 years in mixed first opinion practice, she returned to the medicine department and has stayed ever since. She has RCVS and ECVIM Diplomas in small animal medicine and is an RCVS and European recognized specialist in Small Animal Internal Medicine. She also has a doctorate on chronic pancreatitis in dogs. She is interested in all areas of small animal internal medicine, with particular focus on chronic liver disease in dogs and cats and chronic pancreatitis in dogs.

Penny’s current research is focused on chronic pancreatitis in dogs, investigating potential mechanisms of disease in cavalier king Charles spaniels and English cocker spaniels. She is also actively investigating chronic hepatitis in dogs, particularly English Springer Spaniels and other breeds. She is always interested in hearing from referring vets about cases of chronic hepatitis or chronic pancreatitis in any breed of dog.

Dr.Liuti graduated in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Camerino in 2001, Italy. In 2003, she was appointed as a ECVDI resident in Diagnostic Imaging, at the University of Ghent (Belgium). Since 2008, she is working as a Senior Lecturer in Diagnostic Imaging, at the University of Edinburgh. 
She is teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students, including residents enrolled in the ECVDI Diagnostic Imaging Residency programme, small and large animal track. 

Dr.Liuti is an ECVDI Diplomate and she defended her PhD at the University of Edinburgh, on the morphological assessment of paranasal sinuses and teeth in the horse with the use of computed tomography. She is Pg.CAP and FHEA. 
Dr.Liuti is author of multiple international publications in ultrasound and Computed Tomography, small and large animal. Her main interest is ultrasound in small animal, Computed Tomography small and large animal (equine).
