Why
Canine and feline hepatobiliary diseases continue to be affected by knowledge gaps and there is a lack of prospective follow up of cases
How
The Society of Comparative Hepatology can provide a platform for initiation and promotion of collaborative clinical research with the long-term goal of filling these gaps
This pre congress will be of interest to both specialists and first opinion practitioners with an interest in liver disease as we try to work together to understand more about the causes and treatment of liver diseases in small animals
