PROGRAM
For our inaugural UC Davis SoCal Vet Series, in collaboration with the Southern California Veterinary Medical Association (SCVMA), we invite you to join us in beautiful Long Beach, CA. We have assembled a group of experts to present the latest information on canine and feline gastrointestinal disorders.
The program will cover:
- The latest diagnostics on various GI disorders -- infectious enteropathies, IBD, hepatic disorders
- Therapeutic approaches to end GI distress -- probiotics, drug therapy
- Medically directed nutrition -- specific dietary requirements, nutritional requirements, tube feeding
Join us at the Hotel Maya, a waterfront resort situated across the harbor from downtown Long Beach, for a wonderful weekend continuing education event! There will also be time to socialize with speakers and colleagues and check out the local sights.
