The Small Animal Veterinary Association Kerala (SAVAK) successfully conducted its Continuing Professional Development Programme (CPD) on internal Medicine on 14 June 2026 at Holiday Inn, Kochi. The programme was attended by 120 veterinary delegates from various parts of Kerala, reflecting the growing interest in evidence-based small animal practice and continuing veterinary education.

The scientific sessions were delivered by Prof. Dr. K. Jeyaraja, MVSc., PhD, an eminent academician and clinician, on the theme “Internal Medicine for a Small Animal Practitioner.” The programme covered a wide range of clinically relevant topics, including fluid therapy and electrolyte imbalance in small animals, fluid therapy in systemic disorders, arterial blood gas analysis and its interpretation, cardiac emergencies in dogs, and updates on the management of idiopathic epilepsy in dogs.

The sessions were highly interactive and well received by the participants. Delegates appreciated the practical approach adopted by the speaker, which helped bridge the gap between theory and day-to-day clinical practice. The sponsor session provided an opportunity for participants to learn about the latest products, diagnostic solutions, and technological advancements available for veterinary practitioners.

In addition to the scientific programme, the event also facilitated networking and professional interaction among veterinarians, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing within the profession.
