feline pyoderma Dermatology

Objectives:
- Apply systematic knowledge and problem solving strategies to prioritise the differential diagnoses based on clinical history, signalment and physical examination findings.
- Perform and interpret the diagnostic testing required to confirm a clinical diagnosis of the pruritic cat.
- Learn the importance of bacterial culture and susceptibility testing.
