More than 2,000 veterinarians from around the world are planning to attend the virtual event where they can take what they learn back to their clinics and put into practice to enhance and prolong the lives of cats and dogs everywhere.

Cynthia Ward, VMD, PhD, DACVIM (SAIM), internist, reproductive endocrinology specialist, and Professor Emerita at the University of Georgia will present a comprehensive look into diabetes in dogs and cats including diagnosis, patient considerations when designing a treatment plan and monitoring techniques.
