Back in the studio we have Jill Maddison, Professor of General Practice and has an international reputation from pharmacology to clinical problem solving. Currently the chair of the World Small Animal Veterinary Association Continuing Education Committee. We were listening to her discus how she uses pancreatic lipase tests in practice and thought it would be good to share. There might be a little sensitivity and specificity to consider though we hope that you enjoy.
