This postgraduate diploma contains all the scientific theory and clinical practice necessary to bring you up to date in Feline Oncology, Neurology and Dermatology"

Generally, feline neurology presents a number of difficulties that can be frustrating for the specialist. Most signs are often nonspecific, creating a need to master both complex and basic diagnostic procedures. In the case of nephrology this occurs in a similar way, with symptoms that are difficult to detect and treatments that require multimodal management for a successful approach. It is logical to think, therefore, that it is useful to be up to date in both fields in order to have a better global vision of the most delicate pathologies and symptomatologies in the feline patient.

In addition, feline dermatology can sometimes serve as an indicator for the specialist for an early diagnosis of multiple pathologies.
