Katie Tolbert DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM will be doing a short Webinar on the Phase 2 study of Protein Losing Enteropathy in Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers. This is a follow up to the informative Webinar she did last year on the beginning study of 12 healthy Wheatens. The next phase is trying to identify symptoms and test results that can identify PLE in the Wheaten. Please join us for a holiday Webinar before the season gets any busier.
Katie is well qualified to deal with this topic. She has completed her small animal internal medicine residency and Ph.D. in comprehensive Biomedical Sciences at North Carolina State University. she is a clinical associate professor in the GI lab at Texas A&M. She also holds a position as a Clinical Veterinary Instructor at North Carolina State University and is pursuing an alternate-track residency in small animal nutrition at the University of Tennessee. Her clinical interests and research program are focused on the treatment of acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases in dogs and cats.
