Abnormal liver function in diabetics
contributes to the onset and maintenance of
the diabetic state, but its importance in the
pathogenesis of canine and feline diabetes is
underappreciated. This talk will examine I know of no sponsors for certain, but the

In the last decade, gallbladder mucoceles
have become the most common reason for
cholecystectomy in dogs. Reports suggest
that dogs with endocrinopathies such as
hypothyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism and
diabetes mellitus are predisposed to
mucocele formation. This lecture will review
the current literature on this disorder and
highlight possible reasons for the
endocrinopathy connection.
This talk will review current understanding
of the pathophysiology of HE, which is an
important cause of morbidity and mortality
in companion animals. Particular attention
will be paid to novel studies undertaken by
the speaker which examined the role of
inflammation, manganese and ammonia in
the pathophysiology of HE.

This lecture will discuss the physiology of the
liver and present an overview of diseases
and injuries that can cause both dogs and
cats to turn yellow. Testing and treatment
will also be discussed.
Hepatic accumulation of copper in small
ruminants is responsible for a form of liver
damage termed copper hepatopathy.
Copper hepathopathy is distinct from classic
copper toxicosis. Recognition of copper
hepatopathy through clinical signs and
clinicopathologic findings will be discussed. No
