Feline allergies can be very challenging to manage and accurate diagnosis is always the first important step. Dr Vogelnest will cover practical tips on the value of allergy testing (serum & intradermal), how & when to use elimination diet trials, and when to consider flea allergy or infectious causes. Step two is focusing on treatment, and along with updates on current treatment options, guidelines will be given on how to make wise treatment choices, and how to manage severely pruritic presentations through diagnostic trials.
Linda graduated as a veterinarian from the University of Sydney in 1984 and worked in general practice for over ten years before following a long time interest in dermatology. Linda achieved Membership in Feline Medicine of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in 1997, and the Fellowship in Veterinary Dermatology in 2003. She has worked in both university and private general and specialist practices in Sydney and Melbourne, and is passionate about promoting a greater understanding of dermatology for all vets. Linda's special interests include atopic dermatitis, otitis, skin diagnostics including cytology and histopathology, and also dermatology in exotics and large animals.
