Compare and contrast options for tailoring treatment of canine hypercortisolism to individual patient need, including discussion of medical management, surgical intervention, and ideas for how to approach treatment-refractory cases.
Apply an evidence-based approach to effectively monitor of hypercortisolism treatment based on integrating recent research, comparison of protocols, and addressing adverse effects possibly associated with therapy.
