Buddy up With New Team Members and Prevent Them From “Running Out“ of Vet Medicine
If you want to help your new colleague to make a really nice start in our profession; you should join this lecture. As a new colleague, it is not always obvious to be immediately included in the team or to be able to demonstrate your potential value right away. You first have to go through a cloud of 'proving yourself', 'putting your best foot forward' and 'making yourself loyal to your employer and colleagues'. However, a number of companies operate a buddy system to make the entry level as small as possible.

There Is an “I” in Team
We have all heard it, probably even said it a time or two – "There is no 'I' in Team." Is it fair to say that the individual does not exist on a team? Of course not. A team is made up of individuals. A team harnesses the power of the skills, knowledge, and abilities of all those individual "I's" into a cohesive, high-performing group that can perform faster, stronger, and smarter than any individual.

Virtual: Early Chronic Kidney Disease in the Cat: How To Detect It and What To Do Next (IDEXX)
This session is livestreamed from VMX Orlando. This session will only be streamed live and will not be available On Demand. In this session we will discuss how the landscape of kidney disease in feline patients continues to change, and how we are now better equipped to address the underlying needs of our patients. New tools including Cystatin B, the first commercially available biomarker for detection of tubular injury, as well FGF-23 which can aid in the understanding of phosphorus dysregulation in cats with CKD allow for more nuanced diagnosis and treatment than reliance on traditional kidney biomarkers alone.

Implementing Genetics in Small Animal Practice (Royal Canin)
Genetic screening for health, breeds, and traits are becoming commonly used tools for both dogs and cats and they have the potential to improve the individualized care that veterinary professionals can provide. To fully leverage genetic testing in practice, it is important to understand genetic terminology and concepts, as well as, how to interpret results, utilize that knowledge in your clinical care plans and properly communicate this information to clients. This presentation will cover all these aspects through case presentations to help clinicians become more comfortable incorporating genetic tools and conversations in practice.

A Multi-Modal Approach to Allergies (Nextmune)
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that reduces the quality of life for our patients and their owners. The first step of management is making the diagnosis. The diagnosis of atopic dermatitis is made by exclusion of other causes of itch; there is no diagnostic test. Allergy testing is used to discover those allergens that could be used in immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is the only treatment we have that can change the abnormal immune response and delay progression of the disease. Utilizing molecular allergy testing gives us the opportunity to use cross-reactivity to generate treatments with fewer allergens and hopefully better success. Another key element in managing atopic patients is skincare. In this seminar we will discuss the multi-modal approach to allergy management including testing, immunotherapy and skincare.

Myth Busting in Chemistry - Everything You Were Taught in School Was True... NOT! (Antech and Sound Imaging) - Breakfast Session
Myth #8 – For any given analyte, a value within the reference interval limits should be regarded as ‘normal’. Proper use of reference intervals is confusing to many of us. We must remember that these intervals are merely guideline references and in reality, we MUST learn to use an individual patient’s profile results in health as its specific reference. However, we do not have previous data on many of our patients and we must rely on provided reference intervals as a starting point. In a case-based manner, we will point out some of the primary areas where one must be cautious when interpreting chemistry reference intervals. Remember, clinically normal animals may have analyte values outside (slightly outside) reference interval limits and clinically ill animals may have analyte values within reference interval limits.
Myth #22 – The chemistry profile is the most important component of the laboratory profile. Chemistry profiles provide excellent direction to identify primary and secondary organ system involvement; however, there are several critical laboratory diagnostics that should be used prior to looking to the main chemistry profile. The complete blood count, complete urinalysis and electrolyte panel provide critical information related to the general health status of animal as well as helping define fluid balance and the character and severity of the disease, all of which are critical for proper interpretation of the chemistry profile to follow.

Advanced Dental Procedures
Oral disease is one of the most prevalent diseases in dogs and cats. 80% of adult dogs and 70% of adult cats have oral disease. Unfortunately, that leads to the extraction of teeth that may have been saved. It is vital to offer the client the options for treatment via referral to the veterinary dental specialist. Owners want what is in the best interest of their pets but may not be aware of alternative treatment options. Remember never to judge what your clients will be willing to do for their pets.

Gutting to the Truth - Microbiomes Myths and Facts (AnimalBiome)
If the gut microbiome had an account on instagram, it would go viral. The importance of animal microbiomes are trending as veterinary professionals and pet parents learn more about how the microscopic residents, and their by-products of fermentation affect the health of the whole pet. Misinformation can occur especially since this area of science is rapidly changing through developing technology and the understanding of the function of resident microbes. Can you decipher the myths or facts when discussing microbiome-focused topics including testing, dysbiosis, and antimicrobial therapy options? This session will bust some commonly associated myths and facts that are circulating about microbiome medicine, the microbiomes of animals, and therapy options for veterinary patients.

Dental Radiology Made Easy - Tips and Tricks!
Dental radiographs are an essential part of the oral exam. The crown is just the tip of the iceberg. Approximately 42% of dental pathology is found subgingivally. Radiographs will help diagnose pathology that is not visible from the surface, confirm suspect pathology, and help demonstrate the pathology to the client. Dental radiographs can improve the standard of care in your practice and increase your clinic’s revenue.

Block That Pain! Pain Management and Anesthesia for the Dental Patient
Pain management is more than the latest popular terminology. It is an important part of veterinary dentistry. Many of the procedures performed on animals are painful, and it is our duty as technicians to ensure that our patients are as comfortable as possible. The delivery of local nerve blocks prior to performing many dental procedures or oral surgery is a great way to create preemptive analgesia. This can often be incorporated into a multimodal plan for pain control.

It’s Not Just the Heat: The Role of Humidity in Reptile Thermoregulation
Our veterinary training is based on the physiological principles of endothermic animal species, and a thorough understanding of reptile thermal biology is essential to the practice of reptile medicine. This presentation will discuss the physics of heat transfer with an emphasis on how evaporation affects reptile thermoregulation and health. Many of the most common problems seen in reptile practice result from an environment with inadequately managed water in its many forms. Attendees will take home a better understanding of the role that humidity plays in reptile health and disease.

So how does a veterinary practice keep up with the demand? Practical and functional technology is how. Join this discussion of technology that improves client communications, eases the pressure on support staff, keeps the full healthcare team informed, and enhances client loyalty and compliance to medical recommendations.

How to Support Higher Pay Rates
In today's competitive job environment, the mantra seems to be, "How high can you go" when discussing wages. Your cost of living adjustments made last year may not be keeping up with inflation this year. So what’s a business to do? Can you pay more…should you pay more…and what does "more" mean? Higher pay rates should not be the only item when considering what a team member receives for working for you.

Virtual: Fight the Bite: Arthropod Feeding and Vector-Borne Disease Transmission (Ceva)
This session is livestreamed from VMX Orlando. This session will only be streamed live and will not be available On Demand.
Common canine ectoparasites like fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes need to "bite" the dog's skin and consume blood to complete their life cycle. Although these arthropods employ different feeding strategies, all involve causing damage and irritation to the skin through their mouthparts and saliva. Blood feeding also creates risk of transmitting vector-borne pathogens, several of which cause severe and even fatal disease. In this discussion, we will explore how these ectoparasites feed and examine the timing of effectiveness of available control products throughout this intricate process. Optimal protection for dogs from these arthropods involves preventative measures taken before feeding begins, ensuring the highest level of canine comfort and health.

Rethinking Our Approach to Feline Orthopedic Assessment
You’ve heard it said that cats are not small dogs…and that is especially true when it comes to orthopedic assessment. While orthopedic disease is very prevalent in cats, it often manifests as subtle behavioral changes rather than obvious lameness. Cat ownership is increasing and there’s a whole population out there waiting for you to serve them. In this thought-provoking discussion, Dr. Palmer is sure to challenge your thinking and presuppositions while offering practical steps you can take to harness and enjoy this practice growth opportunity.

Implementing Genetics in Small Animal Practice (Royal Canin)
Genetic screening for health, breeds, and traits are becoming commonly used tools for both dogs and cats and they have the potential to improve the individualized care that veterinary professionals can provide. To fully leverage genetic testing in practice, it is important to understand genetic terminology and concepts, as well as, how to interpret results, utilize that knowledge in your clinical care plans and properly communicate this information to clients. This presentation will cover all these aspects through case presentations to help clinicians become more comfortable incorporating genetic tools and conversations in practice.

Motivating a Demotivated Team
When someone asks me for an organizational consultancy, one of the aspects frequently mentioned by the company leader is like the following story: “I call you because I see my people different, with little energy, little motivation, apathetic, even indifferent in the performance of their work role, I have received some important complaints from clients regarding the attention they have received, we have made some mistakes in the established protocols...I feel like they are not going where I want to take my company."...Do you have any advice to motivate my team?"
In this talk, we will talk about what motivation is, since it is important to define it and establish a common territory on which we will develop the conference. Our team's motivation is not something to be taken lightly and "react" when it is diminished. We will review some motivation theories and present an integrative scheme of motivation factors for work teams, which incorporates positive psychology within itself and is the model that we apply in our work as consultants. This “layered” model helps and guides leaders to understand and identify what could be hindering a team from flourishing, demonstrating its potential and high performance. There are opportunities for improvement to motivate a team extrinsically, however, we must also discover what intrinsically motivates each of them and understand if it is possible to achieve a balance for both parties.

Mythbusters: Enrofloxacin is for All Exotic Companion Mammals
Enrofloxacin is among the most commonly dispensed antibiotics for exotic mammal patients, and may represent many practitioner's first choice for many suspected bacterial infections. Actual published information on ideal dosing and pharmacodynamics in exotic species is not as robust as one might guess. As a non-tier one antibiotic, enrofloxacin may not always be the best first choice.

Laryngeal Paralysis: Fundamentals of the Disease and Treatment Options Workshop
GOLPP affects a large population of dogs but sadly many go undiagnosed, or if diagnosed, do not have access to optimal treatment options. Owners require education on the treatment options so they can make informed decisions and regardless of what they choose (surgical or non-surgical). We as veterinarians should be familiar with the course of clinical disease, how to discuss options with owners, deliver appropriate interventions or where to refer these patients. Cricoarytenoid laryngoplasty (“tie-back”) surgery is the most common surgical option (although there are others). In this laboratory we will cover diagnosis, anesthesia, short and long-term perioperative care session, you will learn the anatomy of the larynx, what is involved in this surgery and have the opportunity to practice on cadavers. Non-surgical treatment plans will also be covered.

The practice of reptile medicine calls for a problem-oriented, evidence-based approach. A rapid, thorough physical examination is the first diagnostic test we perform to identify problems and begin the process of assigning probabilities to specific diagnoses. Just like other diagnostic tests, a physical exam can be characterized by sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value just like other diagnostic tests. Veterinarians who practice reptile medicine may encounter new species, new morphs, and new disease problems on a daily basis, so it is imperative that we conscientiously describe our findings before leaping to conclusions about what may or may not be a problem that requires a diagnosis and management plan. After attending this session, attendees will be better able to recognize a variety of normal and abnormal physical examination findings in reptile patients.

JPS? TPO? THR? FHO??? Navigating Hip Dysplasia Surgical Options
There are numerous surgical options for managing hip dysplasia including juvenile pubic symphysiodesis (JPS), triple or double pelvic osteotomy (TPO/DPO), femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHO), and total hip replacement (THR). Even if the practitioner is not performing these surgeries, the decision for when these procedures may be recommended is difficult to navigate. JPS and TPO are time- and disease stage sensitive procedures that could be relatively less expensive options to mitigate a lifetime of hip OA management. This session will cover the main indications and ideal timing of each of these procedures.

Fracture Treatment When Referral Isn’t an Option
Nothing is more distressing for your clients than traumatic skeletal fracture in their beloved pet. Referral to a board-certified surgeon is a great solution, but isn’t always available. Few things are more agonizing to a veterinarian than having to amputate a limb, or worse yet, euthanize a pet when you know that you can learn to treat the fracture yourself. In this session Dr. P will present a practical and fun review of some important fracture treatment principles and techniques that may have slipped your mind. Be ready for some great instructional videos! He’ll also direct you to valuable resources and training courses that help walk you down that fracture treatment pathway.

Do Not Look Into the Light: Laser Therapy for Reptiles
The use of therapeutic lasers in veterinary medicine is on the rise. In human medicine this treatment modality has already been used for many years and many peer reviewed papers document a successful outcome on the use of laser energy for a variety of conditions. The lecture will introduce the concepts of photobiomodulation in reptilian patients and illustrate the point on specific case examples.

Fracture Fails! Case-Based Discussion On What Went Wrong
Successful management of a patient that has sustained a traumatic bone fracture is largely based on careful pre-operative planning. We often learn the most from times when things don't always go smoothly to plan. Fracture management is a fine balance between providing mechanical stability for sufficient time until the fracture heals and optimizing the biology of the tissues to facilitate more rapid healing. This session utilizes case examples with an interactive format to highlight key decision making in common fracture pitfalls.

Does Your Team Have an "Alma" (Soul)? Join Us To Discover Your Alma.
Maybe you are one of the people, like me, who believe that a living being has an A.L.M.A. (SOUL)..."an intangible part that inhabits our body that gives us the ability to think and feel and that is capable of giving life to the organism." If you don't think this way, I fully respect your point of view, since it is difficult to prove. However, in this talk, I want to tell you a summary of my experience as a consultant to veterinary clinics in Latin America, using the Acronym A.L.M.A. (in English means SOUL), since, from my point of view, there are companies that do not have a soul. There are beautiful companies in infrastructure, which look very good from the outside and in their advertising on social media or on their website are fascinating, however, when you enter them, and get to know them from the inside with a critical look as a consultant, you discover that some are very poor in A.L.M.A. or they don't have it. The "internal corporate analysis" of a company is a key aspect that must be designed, put into practice and ensure that each employee feels it, incorporates it into their work and demonstrates it in their work behaviors. We must "take care of our team" in order to take care of our patients and clients, this is a fundamental aspect. There are some companies that have good economic results, however, their employees do not feel recognized for their good work, others believe they have everything necessary to be successful (strategy, investment in marketing, infrastructure, good salaries for their team, etc.) However, they do not achieve the expected results... I invite you to find out if your company or the one you work for has A.L.M.A. (Soul)

Management of Small Breed Dogs with Concurrent CrCL Rupture and Patella Luxation Workshop
SOLD OUT
Small breeds of dogs often will present with acute onset lameness secondary to complete cranial cruciate ligament rupture. Upon physical exam, the stifle is very unstable and a Grade 2-3 patella luxation is often present as well. The patella luxation is aggravated by the presence of excess internal rotational instability due to the CrCl injury. To return the patient to normal function, the CrCl injury must be addressed (stabilized) as well as the patella luxation. The technique described in this laboratory allows the attending surgeon to stabilize the craniocaudal laxity with an isometric extracapsular procedure that allows stabilization of the patella luxation using standard technique.

Bone Grafts: When and What to Use
Bone grafting is an useful tool for any clinician who performs orthopedic surgery. Bone grafts can be harvested directly from the patient (autogenous cancellous bone grafting) and more recently, the clinician can use a "ready-to use" allograft off the shelf. This talk aims to help clinicians pick the right cases for a bone graft as well as provide some helpful tips and tricks for their harvest and use

All You Need is Love, Lights, and Heat
In nature there is no separation between heat and light, hence in captivity, there should not be a separation either nor should one provide only one or the other.
The sun serves as a source of all-natural light and heat, which is actively utilized by reptiles. Reptiles have successfully adapted to the specific microhabitats, which are created by a large variety of environmental factors. When keeping reptiles in captivity the replication of these specific microhabitats is important to ensure a significant health benefit for the reptile, as this is important for the physiology and psychology of the reptile.

Mythbusters: Firmer Restraint is Safer
The history of restraint in exotic companion mammals often originates from techniques used in laboratory animal medicine where animals may be tame but often not accustomed to handling. Techniques may include tight towel wraps, handling tubes, heavy gloves, or scruffing. Recent publications suggest stress related to housing and handling may affect the reliability of laboratory data. Interest in a stress and fear free experience throughout the entire veterinary visit has gained momentum in traditional pet species and can be utilized in exotic species as well.

Tibial Plateau Angle: How and Why to Measure
Cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) disease continues to be a leading cause of hind limb lameness in dogs. Stifle radiographs are often taken as part of the routine work-up of CrCL cases, but most practitioners do not measure the tibial plateau angle (TPA). There are many conservative and surgical treatment options for CrCL disease. Knowledge of the individual patient’s TPA can help determine suitability for certain treatments and aid in client decision making for the best choice for their pet. Speaker(s): Clara Goh

L: The Bottom Line is Color Blind: The Case for Diversity in Veterinary Leadership
All facets of veterinary practices (even those that are non-profit) are businesses that must bring in revenue and make a profit to stay viable and care for pets. Today, we face a shortage of veterinary personnel in all positions. Denying minorities roles in leadership will be detrimental to businesses and the veterinary profession. No veterinary business can afford to curb promoting minorities into leadership. A reputation of discrimination within a veterinary company will deter applicants that are sorely needed. Biases of minorities in leadership are real, they must be rooted out and confronted in the veterinary industry. And, finally, don’t forget; while there is a socioeconomic reason for diversity, This should not be based solely on economic grounds. Affirming the agency and dignity of groups of people should appeal to our and others’ humanity.

Journey from Price to Value - Become Fearless of Your Fees (Zoetis)
Traditionally focus has been placed on leading with pricing. Ideally, this mindset should be shifted to focus on generating value that equals or exceeds pricing. To accomplish this, gaining a thorough understanding of client driven costs and the generation of value is necessary. Overall hospital costs can be reduced with the development of protocols, training, full staff utilization, and three-tiered communication which can simultaneously increase value generation for the client. Gaining an understanding of all the costs that need to be taken into account when setting prices along with different pricing strategies will enable the attendee to construct a plan to set prices in their hospital and monitor the success of their approach.

Using Genetic Insights to Guide a Lifetime of Care (Zoetis)
Pet genetic testing is paving the way for a new era in personalized veterinary care. Genetic testing enables veterinarians to unlock an abundance of health information, providing unique insights into certain health risks or disease predispositions. Most importantly, veterinarians can use these health insights to guide a lifetime of care to promote health and longevity in their patients. By understanding a dog or cat’s genetics, veterinarians can create individualized wellness plans, diagnostic monitoring programs, and specific medical recommendations based on individual risk factors. Based on a pet’s DNA data, diagnostic monitoring, and medical interventions can begin before symptoms develop, leading to earlier disease recognition and management. These genetic insights can prepare and inspire pet parents to better care for their pet’s health. Pet parents can use this information to make more informed decisions about their pet’s diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices and work with their veterinarian to proactively manage and monitor any potential medical conditions. Veterinary genetic testing is the foundation of a pet’s lifetime care plan and has the potential to extend longevity and enhance the quality of life. Join us for a peek into the exciting world of veterinary genetic testing and learn how this cutting-edge technology is transforming pet care as we know it. Presented by: Zoetis Speaker(s): Ernie Ward

Tilt-A-Whirl: Localizing Vestibular Signs and Causes
Vestibular syndromes are one of the most puzzling presentations for veterinarians in their challenge to localize. Of particular difficulty is signs secondary to otitis media/interna which have progressed to bacterial encephalitis as the clinical localization of vestibular signs will change from peripheral to central. We will review anatomy associated with the normal vestibular system. Manifestations of vestibular syndrome and lesion localization will be reviewed to refresh the practitioner on clinically relevant lesion localizations and common diseases associated with each localization. Discussion of bacterial otitis media/interna with secondary bacterial meningoencephalitis will be reviewed in detail including imaging findings and recommended courses of therapy.

N: Pathway Development in Vet Med: Why We’re All "N" This Together!
According to the 2021 US Bureau of Labor and Statistics, less than 2% of veterinarians are Black, less than 5% Latino, and less than 6% Asian. The American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) reports that 70% of the DVM Class 2024 is white. With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, there was a massive uptake in unenrollment of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), men, and low-income students, which will exacerbate the demographic divide in the veterinary profession. Improving diversity within the veterinary community will require intentionality and purposeful initiatives by all stakeholders to reduce barriers and create opportunities for underrepresented minority students to consider the pathway of veterinary medicine.

Enucleation: Why Does This Simple Surgery Seem Difficult to Me?
Many practitioners, particularly new graduates, often do not feel comfortable removing a blind, painful eye that warrants enucleation. This lecture will provide an overview of this procedure and provide some useful tips to making each procedure a more comfortable experience for both patient and veterinarian alike. Video will be used to help explain key learning points.

Simplifying the Dermatological Approach to the Itchy Cat
Allergies in cats are one of the most challenging and frustrating medical conditions we deal with as veterinarians due to the severity of dermatological lesions, significantly decreased quality of life, limited medical therapy options, and difficulty administering medications to cats. Cats tend to develop significant psychogenic components to pruritic behaviors that need to be addressed to maintain adequate control of the clinical signs. This hour will discuss reaction patterns associated with allergy in cats and how to utilize a streamlined diagnostic approach to accurately distinguish allergic diseases in cats. We will review the typical treatment approaches and how to utilize the therapies in difficult cases.

Sniffles and Sneezes: Unraveling Respiratory Infections in Dogs and Cats
Doesn’t it feel like there is a sneezing kitten or a coughing dog on the appointment schedule every day? It can be frustrating to decide in the moment if a patient needs an antibiotic or just a little supportive care. This presentation will cover Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, Feline Upper Respiratory Infections (FHV-1, FCV, Mycoplasma spp., and Chlamydophila felis), and common causes of lower respiratory infections, particularly pneumonia, in both dogs and cats. We will also review the strategies and mechanisms that the immune-system response utilizes to defend against these pathogens to help us maximize judicious use of antimicrobials.

D: Allyship 101
You have likely heard the phrase “getting comfortable being uncomfortable” more and more often. It means that to help create real change, to expand and grow, to be antiracist, to stand up for the oppressed and marginalized, and to remain relevant - we must invite and initiate tough conversations. We must speak up with radical candor. We must be active allies. And we must learn how to incorporate these important concepts into our culture and workflow. During this program we will discuss the essential elements of allyship including self-education, leveraging privilege and power, reaffirming that allyship centers on the oppressed, and the power of committing fully.

Does This Pug Truly Have Glaucoma?
In this author’s opinion, the ability to perform tonometry is essential to every veterinarian engaged in small animal practice. Tonometry minimizes the chances of making an important or even catastrophic error in diagnosis. Intraocular pressure (IOP) should be determined in every red eye with an intact cornea and sclera, providing the globe is not at risk of rupture (e.g. descemetocele). Join this short lecture for IOP capturing pearls. Speaker(s): Elizabeth A. Giuliano

MC03: Bites, Bullets and Branches: Successful Management of Penetrating Injuries
SOLD OUT
Penetrating wounds are deceiving! An innocuous-looking skin puncture can hide deep damage, the consequence of strong forces (e.g. crushing and shearing by teeth, cavitation by bullets) that injure tissues and their blood supplies, create dead space, and/or inoculate bacteria or foreign material. Local inflammation can progress to systemic inflammatory response syndrome or sepsis days after injury. In this session, we’ll use case examples of small animal patients with penetrating wounds caused by bites, gunshots, and other objects to discuss the iceberg effect, appropriate diagnostics, the critical importance of surgical debridement (yes, even if it only appears to be a flesh wound!), indications for celiotomy or thoracotomy, the use of drains, and the role of antibiotics.

Why is My Dog STILL Itchy? (Zoetis) - Breakfast Session
Dermatologic cases make up a significant portion of a small animal veterinarian’s daily caseload. Secondary bacterial and yeast infections with concomitant pruritus is a common scenario, leading to perceived failure of allergy treatment. Importantly, not every pruritic patient has allergies. This session will provide an image-rich and case-based approach to provide a practical diagnostic framework for the canine patient with lesions and pruritus to diagnose common and uncommon conditions. There will be a special focus on the importance of cutaneous cytology, as well as biopsy and clinical consultations with specialists to guide optimal diagnostic and treatment decisions. Images and videos will demonstrate lesion selection and collection strategies to optimize the accuracy of cutaneous cytology. This session will explore a new and innovative way to obtain efficient cytology results for your everyday dermatology cases with the utilization of Vetscan Imagyst®. In this presentation learn how deep learning AI can alleviate challenges surrounding workflow and the time it takes to read samples while providing practitioners confidence in the accuracy or results for skin impression smears along with ear and skin swab cytologic smears.

Treating Anesthetic Hypotension: Beyond the Fluid Bolus
Hypotension is frequently observed in patients placed under general anesthesia. Left untreated, anesthesia-related hypotension can have significant consequences. As a result, it is important to recognize and treat hypotension when it occurs. This lecture will discuss the many contributors to anesthesia-related hypotension and go through an algorithm that will help determine which factors are likely contributing to low blood pressure and how to treat them.

The Third Eyelid - To Flap or Not To Flap?
Third eyelid flaps have been used widely for treatment of ulcers. While they do provide a “bandage” that reduces desiccation and potential frictional irritation of the cornea by the upper and lower eyelids, they are also associated with potentially significant deleterious effects. Join Dr. Giuliano for a short discussion of when a third eyelid flap can be helpful or harmful and think about adding this skill to your clinical armamentarium. Speaker(s): Elizabeth A. Giuliano

By proactively observing your patients and engaging with clients, you can help dog owners understand why routine OA exams are essential and help more dogs get the treatment they need. This session will pair technical information on the disease state with communication tools and techniques so that veterinary technicians will leave this presentation feeling empowered in their observations and conversations with the veterinarian and pet owners

Vet Tech Appointments: How and Why to Set Them Up
Join this lecture about vet-tech appointments. For sure interesting for vet-techs, but also vets and managers because everybody should think in the same direction. Most important reason why every practice should have Vet-tech / vet-nurse appointments; because vet-techs can do so much more than we they do now! They are trained to do many things vets do now. In many ways it is not smart not to use those skills. For sure it will have many pro’s for everybody: animals, owners, staff and the clinic. And now there is a big shortage of vets in many countries of the world, so it is ideal when Vet-techs can take some things of the shoulders of the vets.

Gabapentin: Wonder Drug or Wonder Dud?
Veterinary use of gabapentin has increased dramatically over the past several years, likely due to the desire to have an oral analgesic alternative to non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Despite this popularity, gabapentin has a narrow indication for use in veterinary medicine and current prescribing practices warrant further scrutiny. Over the course of this lecture, we will attempt to explore the following questions: Is the veterinary community prescribing gabapentin correctly? Is there sufficient evidence in the literature to support current veterinary prescribing practices? Is dispensing and administration of gabapentin as safe as it appears? Speaker(s): Becca Reader

Think Like a Vet Tech and Not Like a Doctor
Time to think like a vet tech!!! Veterinary technicians often “Complete the treatments” that are prescribed by the veterinarian is how many perform their job. They are not required to “think ahead” for their patient. This needs to change because utilization of the vet tech is critical to the success of the hospital. Veterinary technicians and assistants are as responsible for the care of the patient as much as the veterinarian. They must identify problems early, understand changes in their patients and take proactive steps to avoid worsening of disease or injury. This lecture focuses on a skill that human registered nurses are taught in skill and one that our veterinary technicians and assistants must know to provide the best care to the patient.

What’s the Emergency? The Case for a Spectrum of Care Approach (Nationwide)
“What are my options, doc?” Whether you practice in a general, urgent, or emergency setting, you undoubtedly see pets presenting for unexpected health problems. Research suggests that 1 in 3 pet families would struggle to pay for an unexpected veterinary bill of $500 or less. But how do we really know what the options are, and how can we discuss the trade-offs as we offer treatment and diagnostic options across a range from basic to advanced?

Basic Fracture Repair: Femoral Shaft Fractures Workshop
SOLD OUT
Fracture repair is intimidating and often it is easiest to refer your patients to a specialist. Unfortunately, there are times when referral isn’t an option. Now is your chance to be a hero for your client. This hands-on workshop is a perfect opportunity for you to learn the skills that will help you to save a few limbs in the 2024! Since femoral shaft fractures are so common, that will be our focus in this workshop. You will prepare for this hands-on training by completing approximately 3 hours of online course work before VMX. In workshop, our friendly, helpful, “no attitude” instructors will guide you as you learn the IM pin, cerclage wiring and bone plating principles & techniques for the femur. You’ll return to your practice knowing how to perform surgical treatment for many femoral shaft fractures as well as when (and when not to) apply your new skills!

Purrfect Under Pressure: Diagnosis and Management of Feline Hypertension
Feline chronic systemic arterial hypertension risks target organ damage, leads to increased morbidity, and decreases longevity of our feline patients. Although common in cats over 9 years of age, it is grossly under-diagnosed with less than 2% of felines receiving routine screening at their annual primary care examinations. This lecture will outline the most at risk populations in need of screening, discuss the classifications of feline hypertension, and consider the effects of hypertension on renal, cardiac, neurologic, and ocular structures. We will then walk-through best practices for obtaining consistent and accurate blood pressure measurements in felines while minimizing the frustrating “white coat syndrome.” Harnessing these skills the general practice veterinarian will purrfect their standard of feline care while capturing the equity involved in providing more consistent, routine, blood pressure screening services.

Parasites on the Move (Boehringer Ingelheim) - Evening Session
In recent years, parasite populations have grown and expanded beyond their typical geographies. This expansion of parasite ranges has been caused by numerous factors, including increased host populations and transport of hosts. These changes, when combined with rising temperatures and other environmental factors, are opening new paths for parasites and parasitic diseases to reach new areas. In addition to expanding ranges, new invasive tick species have become established in the US. This session will focus on some of the current trends observed in the expansion of parasites in North America, along with providing background on the vector-borne diseases spread by these parasites.

Keep It Simple! How Apoquel® Chewable Can Improve the Daily Lives of Allergic Pets and Their Owners
Apoquel® (oclacitinib tablet) has been available for over a decade to manage the pruritus and inflammation associated with allergic dermatitis. Caregiver burden was originally recognized in the human medical field but has also gained attention in veterinary medicine including owners of chronic allergic dogs. Many aspects of chronic management of an allergic dog can affect an owner such as finances, frequent veterinary visits, lack of cure, etc. Additionally, administration of medication (especially if a patient is resistant) can increase this frustration. The addition of a simple, palatable chewable form of Apoquel can allow an easier delivery alleviating one aspect of caregiver burden. Learn about how Apoquel chewable can relieve not only a patient’s itch, but the owner’s burden with administration including review real-life clinical cases.

Perioperative Patient Assessment: From Anesthetic Risk to Patient Recovery
Many consider anesthesia to be the time period where a patient is under general anesthesia with their vital signs monitored at regular intervals. However, anesthesia is not just that short period while the patient is asleep; instead, anesthesia is a continuum of care that begins well before the patient leaves home and extends into their return home. The entire continuum of anesthesia consists of preanesthesia, induction, maintenance and recovery. This lecture will focus on the preanesthesia and recovery portions of the anesthetic period.

Top Ten Tips for Success With Dogs With Allergic Dermatitis
Allergic skin disease is chronic and often frustrating, both for the pet owner and the veterinarian, but it does not have to be. Managing the owner’s expectations and helping them understand the reality of this life-long disease can improve quality of life for the pet and ease caregiver burden. Successful long term management of pets with allergic dermatitis requires good communication between veterinarian and pet owner, a thorough understanding of common sequela of allergies, such as skin and ear infections, and creative solutions for individual pet and family circumstances to increase compliance. Dr. Lancellotti will discuss how anti-pruritic tools such as Apoquel® Chewable (oclacitinib chewable tablet) and Cytopoint injections can help manage allergic dermatitis while investigating the underlying triggers.

Gut Feeling: Clinical Approach To Feline Chronic Enteropathy
Cats are often regarded as finicky eaters who casually vomit at the most inopportune times and in the most inconvenient locations. However, chronic, persistent, or intermittent gastrointestinal (GI) signs may indicate chronic enteropathy (CE), a common disorder in cats. Causes of feline CE are not readily differentiated based on the clinical presentation, preliminary test results, or a clinician’s gut feeling. We will review current terminology and evidence-based testing and management strategies for feline CE to assist with pet owner consultations and inform patient care. Case examples will illustrate a spectrum of care.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibition: The Rising Star in Oncology Therapeutics (Merck Animal Health) - Industry Lunch
It’s time to learn about a new modality for treating cancer. Immunotherapy has been taking the human oncologic world by storm, and in particular, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors has remarkable potential to provide complete responses with significant duration for some patients. The first commercially available checkpoint inhibitor in veterinary medicine is gilvetmab: an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody conditionally licensed for use in dogs with mast cell tumor stages I, II, and III and dogs with melanoma stages II and III. In this session, attendees will gain a familiarity with immune checkpoint inhibitors, learn how they work, how to talk to owners about this therapy, and how you can gain the greatest benefit for your patients with immune checkpoint inhibition.

Succeeding With Your Derm Patients: Five Tips for Getting Clients Onboard With Your Recommendations
Understanding your client’s perspective is a fundamental first step in developing an effective plan for your dermatology patient.

How to Take Your Practice to the Next Level with Fear Free
Join this lecture only if you are up to some news, that is not always nice to hear and see. We will talk about things we do that really can be done different. That we really should do different. Did you know that Fear Anxiety and Stress ( FAS ) are most common the reason that animals do not like us and our clinic? For owners hard to see and it will result in non, less or to late visits to the vet with their animals. The last years the way people see their pets changed a lot. These days they are a member of the family, you see that they even “earned “ their own privileges. But do we also adapt enough to the status of pets in the family? The status of the pets in the world? Let’s start in our clinics. So first we need knowledge of working Fear Free. And that’s what we are going to talk about in this lecture. It needs to be easy to implement and practical.

Whether a new or current manager, training in leadership skills is necessary and requires a plan. A newly promoted manager risks being blindsided by extreme demands, complex relationships, and difficult choices. Any practice should follow a plan that covers the essential leadership skills every manager needs and use it to train anyone promoted to a lead or management role.

MTPL08: Blood Transfusions: What To Do When You Don’t Have Blood in the Fridge
SOLD OUT
Blood product shortages are increasingly common and many hospitals may not regularly keep blood products on hand. Having an established contingency plan for patients requiring blood products is important. We will review various blood products and their uses, including dosages, rates, proper administration, and how to navigate transfusion reactions. We will discuss a variety of alternatives to reach for when your blood refrigerator is empty, including the pros and cons of each. This will include xenotransfusion for cats when type-specific products aren’t available, how to appropriately collect and store blood from a donor animal, stabilizing the anemic patient while waiting for a transfusion, and suggestions on navigating blood product purchasing in urgent situations. A goal for this course is to leave more confident in transfusion medicine and to have an organized plan for handling blood shortages.

Neurobiology of Canine Reactivity
When you hear the word "reactivity," what comes to mind? A lunging, barking dog on a leash? That’s one example, but there is so much more to this story! This presentation will unpack the common language around this term and redefine it meaningfully, providing examples of this response pattern across multiple contexts. We will also take a deeper dive into what is happening within the dog, looking at the "impact of arousal" as a neurobiological influence on behavior, as well as outlining other explanations that should be considered before using this term for an individual animal.

Five Tips to Improve Your Ability to Detect Canine Lameness
There is good news and bad news when it comes to veterinary detection of canine lameness. The bad news is that poor agreement between objective force plate analysis and our subjective lameness scores reveals that, in general, we aren’t very good at detecting lameness (especially when it is subtle). The good news is that some veterinarian’s lameness scores correlate VERY WELL with force plate readings … suggesting that it IS possible to improve these skills. In this session, Dr. P will share with concepts and practical tools that will improve your ability to detect lameness.

Practical Dermatology Part 1: Getting the Best of Our Diagnostics, Where Should I Biopsy?
One of the most common diagnostic procedures in dermatology is taking biopsy samples from skin, and/or mucocutaneous junctions and/or mucosa. Therefore, a proper technique is critical to obtain the most when we send the samples to the pathologist. In this presentation whole process of taking skin biopsies will be explained: from before taking the biopsy sample, how to prepare the biopsy site, to the final submission of the sample. All the steps are important; however, the selection of the biopsy site might be different depending on our suspected list of differential diseases

Beyond Fibropapillomatosis: Important Infectious Diseases in Sea Turtles
Most infectious diseases in sea turtles are secondary opportunistic diseases that have underlying non-infectious problems predisposing them. Examples of predisposing causes may include cold stunning, traumatic injuries from a variety of causes (e.g., boat strikes, fishing line wraps, dredge injuries, etc), climate change related temperature rise, marine algal toxins, trauma, aspiration of salt water, and stress of the captive environment in patients undergoing rehabilitation. Selected clinically important external and internal parasitic, bacterial, fungal, and viral diseases of sea turtles will be discussed. This is not intended to be a comprehensive discussion of all the diseases pertaining to sea turtles.

Partial Cranial Cruciate Ligament Tears: Diagnosis and Treatment
Cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) disease is one of the most common orthopedic conditions seen in veterinary practice. This condition represents a spectrum of disease from CrCL sprain to full rupture of the ligament. Often patients with partial CrCL tears have more mild clinical signs which will progress as the tear of the ligament progresses. Diagnosis and treatment of partial tears can be challenging as they often have minimal stifle instability. This lecture will focus on tips and tricks to help aid in the diagnosis of these patients and discuss their treatment options

Communicating OA Pain to Dog Owners: Keys To Overcoming the Barriers
Dog owners often fail to recognize early symptoms of OA pain because they are subtle and are often more about what their dog is NOT doing, rather than what their dog IS doing. In this session, Dr. P will share his journey in which he has changed the way he sees the veterinary team’s role and how they communicate with dog owners about OA pain. The result has been more OA treatment success stories and career satisfaction. You’ll leave this session with new vantage points on client communication and OA treatment as well as practical tools to help you effectively treat your patients.

Feline Idiopathic Cystitis: A Behaviorist’s Perspective
As members of veterinary teams, we’re no strangers to idiopathic cystitis (FIC) as a common or recurrent condition in our feline patients. We know how to diagnose, triage, and treat these patients medically, but may be less likely to consider the role that stress can play in the development and treatment of this condition. This presentation will focus on the direct and indirect impacts of stress and the recognition of which stress patterns affect individual patients. Strategies for implementing environmental modification, behavioral enrichment, and prescribing (nutrition, pheromone, supplement, pharmaceutical interventions) will be covered, including considerations of which options may be contraindicated for certain patients or how to reduce the stress associated with strategy implementation itself.

Patellar Luxation: When Referral Isn’t An Option
You made the patellar luxation diagnosis and you’ve recommended referral, but referral isn’t feasible for your valued client. If you step up and do the corrective surgery, you could be the HERO … but you could also be the goat. Which will it be? Life is too short for orthopedic complications. In this fun and practical session, Dr. P will share with you tips on case selection, intra-operative decision-making, and surgical tips that you can’t find in the textbooks. These tips were developed by training 100’s of veterinarians to perform patellar luxation surgery and Dr. P will share with you opportunities for hands-on training in 2024!

Navigating Tough Conversations: Client Communication With Compassion and Efficacy
As animal care professionals, we're no strangers to adjusting our methods or strategies to the one that allows us to work most effectively with the animal. But when it comes to communicating with clients, many of us are significantly less prepared to navigate those hurdles. This presentation will include discussions around which types of conflicts or obstacles we may be likely to face with pet owners, and strategies for working through or around those obstacles in an effective and compassionate manner.

Hip Dysplasia: When is Surgery Indicated?
Hip dysplasia is a common condition that veterinarians see on a regular basis. Patients will present to clinicians throughout their lifetime. Typically, patients present with signs of hip laxity in their early life. This hip laxity allows for subluxation of the hip joint to occur, giving rise to a shallow acetabulum, remodelling of the femoral head and eventually the development of osteoarthritis later in life. Medical management is one of the mainstays of hip dysplasia management, but it is important for clinicians to recognize when surgical intervention may be beneficial. In particular, recognizing when a case is appropriate for juvenile intervention is critical as these procedures are typically time sensitive.

Topical Therapy: The Missing Piece of the Allergy Management Puzzle (Ceva) - Evening Session
Topical therapies have always played a large role in dermatology because of the easy access to the affected organ. With the increasing prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus spp. and multi-drug resistant bacteria, the importance of using antibacterial topical products cannot be overemphasized. Even if there is not active pyoderma, a medicated shampoo is recommended to improve the epidermal barrier and reduce allergens trapped in the coat. Using topical therapies can reduce the use of systemic drugs, the incidence of drug reactions, and can be less expensive than systemic drugs in many cases.

Curing Obesity Before It Starts: Tips for Prevention in Puppies and Kittens
We’ve all heard the saying “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. The first step in preventing pet obesity is educating pet owners about ideal body condition. Conversations about maintaining a healthy weight should occur early in life with puppy and kitten visits and utilizing growth charts can empower owners to take control of their pet's health. Understanding the effects of spaying and neutering on energy needs and utilizing toys and puzzles for enrichment may also aid in preventing excessive weight gain. This lecture will also review basic communication strategies for discussing weight loss and provide a real-world example of how to manage an overweight puppy.

The Art of the Canine Stifle Exam: A Few Things Left Out of the Textbooks
You’ve seen a million stifles with cranial cruciate ligament disease (CrCLD), and you’ll likely see another today, so why should you learn more about the stifle exam? The fact is, you see so many of them that confirmation bias may be leading you to harmful misdiagnosis by causing you to only consider findings that fit your preconceived suspicions. In this session, Dr. P will share his own confirmation bias errors and provide you with valuable tips that will help you to detect important CrCLD imposters and co-morbidities.

Laser Therapy’s Evolution to Use in Everyday Patient Care
The evolution of laser therapy to mainstream patient care in veterinary medicine is a fascinating journey that started with the obscure observation that clipped hair grew back more quickly in mice irradiated with laser light. Now, 50 years later, we use laser therapy every day to reduce pain, modulate inflammation, and accelerate healing. Attendees will see how we got from “hair to here” and how laser therapy significantly improves patient care today.

Multi-Modal Approach to Allergy Patients (Nextmune) - Industry Lunch
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that reduces the quality of life for our patients and their owners. The first step of management is making the diagnosis. The diagnosis of atopic dermatitis is made by exclusion of other causes of itch; there is no diagnostic test. Allergy testing is used to discover those allergens that could be used in immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is the only treatment we have that can change the abnormal immune response and delay progression of the disease. Utilizing molecular allergy testing gives us the opportunity to use cross-reactivity to generate treatments with fewer allergens and hopefully better success. Another key element in managing atopic patients is skincare. In this seminar we will discuss the multi-modal approach to allergy management including testing, immunotherapy and skincare.

Feline Diabetic Nutrition: Is It Just Counting Carbs?
Nutritional management of feline diabetes centers around two primary goals: minimizing the occurrence of hyper- and hypoglycemia and maintaining a healthy body weight. While insulin therapy is key to managing most feline diabetics, diet can also have a large impact on glucose management and diabetic remission. Several strategies can be employed to minimize blood glucose fluctuations and post-prandial hyperglycemia: lower overall carbohydrate intake, slow glucose absorption using dietary fiber, and promote steady glucose absorption through small, frequent meals. While there is a focus on feeding diabetic cats diets that are low in carbohydrates, it is important to remember the “complexity” of the carbohydrate will greatly affect its impact on insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. In addition, some low carbohydrate diets will hinder weight management of overweight cats. While diet composition is an important factor, timing and delivery of meals to a diabetic is also a consideration. Traditionally, veterinarians have recommended pets receive two structured meals per day that coincide with insulin administration. The rationale for this feeding plan was to ensure patients eat a substantial meal prior to insulin administration to prevent hypoglycemia and to provide a practical feeding plan a busy owner can manage. However, feeding two large meals per day to a diabetic patient is incongruent with the goal of minimizing fluctuations in blood glucose. This lecture will challenge current dogma around meal feeding diabetic cats and provide tips for managing frequent meals in home environments.

Communicating OA Pain to Dog and Cat Owners: Goals are Gold!
Osteoarthritis (OA) pain robs pets of both life quality and lifespan. Control of pain associated with OA is foundational to successful OA management, but the challenge is often getting pet owners to recognize that their pet may be painful and to fully commit to treating that pain. Engaging the dog owner in this conversation is often simplified by identifying and focusing upon their lifestyle goals for their pet. Leveraging dog owner goals can help the veterinary team to assess and stimulate the pet owner’s readiness for change including the decision to treat the OA pain.

Oral Neoplasia: I Can Help You Work It Up!
For many patients, oral tumors are incidental findings identified by veterinarians during conscious or anesthetized oral exams. This lecture will focus on a practical approach after identification of tumors within the oral cavity. More than 60% of oral tumors identified in the dog will be benign, though some of these tumors will demonstrate very locally aggressive behavior. In cats, more than 70% of tumors of the oral cavity are malignant. Early identification is critical for successful treatment. Once identified, oral tumors should be imaged and biopsied. Early intervention is critical for definitive treatment in cases of oral malignancy. Clear and understandable communication with owners is also important during the identification and diagnosis of an oral tumor.
This lecture will have a case-based focus and will cover characteristic clinical and radiographic appearance of common tumors. General features of malignancy in oral tumors will be covered, which can help guide decisions about what biopsies should be planned. Speaker(s): Naomi Hoyer

Histopathology is favored over cytology for most oral masses. We will discuss the peculiarities of bone biopsy techniques and the realities of the risk of fracture as a complication. By the end you will feel confident that your biopsy samples will be diagnostic, while minimizing patient morbidity.

Nutritional Management of Gastrointestinal Disease
There are dozens of therapeutic and over the counter diets targeting gastrointestinal (GI) disease. It can be overwhelming to know when to choose which diet. This lecture will describe the categories of GI diets and provide some guidelines for when to choose certain diets. Most GI diets fall into one of 4 categories: low residue, low fat, fiber enhanced, and reduced allergen. Homemade diets are also valuable tools for managing GI disease and can be formulated specifically for the case at hand. Diseases covered in this lecture include acute gastroenteritis, chronic enteropathy, lymphangiectasia, acute colitis, and constipation.

Let’s Face It: Every Case is a Behavior Case! Practical Tips to Calm Patients, Pet Parents, and Teams (Ceva)
In this 1-hr RACE approved lecture, attendees will first gain an overview of the main concept: behavioral abnormalities exist in every small animal case. This will be supported through market research and statistics of different common behavioral abnormalities and pet parent perceptions. The lecture will then dive into classic behavioral abnormalities we see (separation anxiety, noise phobias, excessive barking), anxiety and fear created by chronic medication administration, and then signs we see in the aging population associated with cognitive dysfunction, all with tips and tricks for recognition and treatment. The final section will specifically address how having a calm clinic through pheromone use and other strategies can help improve behavior in patients, pet parents, and teams through reduction of anxiety and improved work culture.

Nutrition for Senior Dogs and Cats
Aging is a biological process common to all living organisms. It involves processes at every level from the molecular and cellular levels to the entire organism. Pet owners are acutely aware of our pets’ aging as their lifespan is shorter than humans and much interest exists regarding bettering the lives of senior pets.
Owners and veterinarians expect pet food to provide nutrition that supports animal health and many times, the food is perceived to provide additional benefits to support overall wellness and prevent or improve signs of disease. The global senior pet population is increasing thanks to advances in veterinary care and nutrition. With it, the awareness of the special nutritional needs of senior pets is increasing. Nutritional requirements are established and specified in the accepted nutritional guidelines such as the National Research Council (NRC) and by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) to support dogs and cats during growth, reproduction, and maintenance as adults; however, there are no requirements established for senior pets. Therefore, diets marketed for senior pets may be formulated according to the manufacturer’s preference as long as the product meets the nutritional requirements of adult dogs or cats. This lecture will explore aging physiology and age-related pathology in dogs and cats, and we will discuss nutritional considerations that may be recommended or further investigated in this age group.

Unconventional Dog and Cat Diets and What To Know When Discussing Them With Pet Owners
Veterinarians are often asked to provide a professional opinion on a variety of pet food trends and products. Trends such as natural diets, raw pet food, and diets free from certain ingredients are very common. These trends are often fueled by vocal pet influencers on social media, the owners' beliefs, and humanizing the pet and its nutrition.
The veterinarian must discern between trends that are potentially beneficial or benign, and those that are downright risking harm to the pet or humans in its environment such as unpasteurized raw pet food which may be a source of harmful pathogens. Research repeatedly shows that pet owners prefer having meaningful conversations about nutrition with their veterinarians; however, challenges in a busy practice and lack of confidence regarding nutrition may hinder having important conversations about nutrition. This talk will summarize some of the main nutrition trends and provide listeners with helpful information to share with pet owners. Speaker(s): Jonathan Stockman

The Fallacy of Perfection and the Power of Progress
Perfection is a fantastic myth with the potential for great harm. From a young age we are taught to pursue straight A’s, perfect attendance and perfect science fair projects. As professionals we can fall into the lair of perfect careers, perfect patient outcomes and perfect suture lines. In reality perfection is illogical and impossible. It is not possible to know everything. For every known there is a corresponding unknown. The past several years of global pandemics, social and economic unrest make it apparent that there is no perfectly accurate weather forecast. In this session we will discuss several learning objectives which include the costs of pursuing perfection, the impacts of pursuing perfection and smart hacks for operating with a degree of uncertainty.

"Just Like Little Dogs and Cats” - Not! Exotic Companion Mammals
Expanding practice to include exotics requires significant investment in education and training, as principles and techniques proven appropriate for canine/feline patients may fall short of current standards of care for exotic patients. Attention to details such as choosing dosages of therapeutics in patient groups with very little drug behavior evidence, knowing different indications for surgical altering, and understanding appropriate handling techniques are just a few of keys to successful exotic mammal practice.

On Guard: How To Stay Vigilant in Immediate Post Op Management (Zomedica)
This course discusses the normal sequelae and possible complications of post operative management. Postoperative care is the care given to a patient after a surgical procedure is performed. This time period lasts from immediately after surgery to potentially weeks and months beyond the procedure. Post operative care may include vigilant monitoring of vital signs, pain management, wound care and more. Although the types of surgeries that are performed in veterinary operative theater vary greatly there are some core tenants that can improve surgical outcomes and help to avoid potential pitfalls in the post surgical time period.

Why Not Debulk? And When Is It Okay?
Debulking involves surgically approaching a tumor through the tumor capsule and removing a majority of the volume of the tumor, but leaving the tumor capsule and microscopic disease. Debulking is an attractive option in some cases, especially when you cannot do a wide, curative surgery but you want to do something. Client’s request debulking frequently, because of the lack of knowledge of tumor biology.
A major downside of debulking a tumor is that the peripheral tumor cells are left behind. The peripheral tumor cells can be the most aggressive cells in the tumor. These cells tend to be the most anaplastic and chemo-resistant. Other downsides of debulking will be discussed. The special case of feline injection side sarcomas will be emphasized. Debulking is rarely beneficial. Debulking is okay in the case of tissue debridement when a tumor is not suspected. For example, with an intramuscular abscess. Some veterinarians advocate for debulking lipomas. In rare cases when the tumor is obstructing the gastrointestinal tract, a debulking procedure can offer temporary relief. One example is with a rectal carcinoma. These tumor types often bleed and can obstruct the rectum. If the client declines definitive treatment, which may involve a referral to a surgeon for a rectal mucosal eversion or rectal pull-through, debulking could be offered. Speaker(s): Brittany Ciepluch

Nutritional Considerations for Urolithiasis in Exotic Pets
Urolithiasis is a condition characterized by similar clinical signs across species. These signs which depend on the location of the urolith along the urinary tract include hematuria, polakuria, periuria, stranguria, abdominal pain, and in some cases uroliths can lead to an obstruction. Despite the similarities in clinical signs, the etiology of urolithiasis is very different for various urolith compositions and for different species. For example, urate urolithiasis which is common in terrestrial chelonians is often the result of subclinical chronic dehydration leading to highly concentrated urine whereas this urolith is often the result of liver pathology in mammals. Husbandry and nutrition play an important role in the pathogenesis of urolithiasis for many of the species commonly kept as non-domestic pet species including reptiles, rodents, lagomorphs, and ferrets. This talk will review the common clinical presentations and etiologies in these species and their potential relationship to nutrition.

Self Advocacy Step by Step
You get what you negotiate, not what you deserve. Advocacy is defined as public support for or recommendation of a particular cause of policy (Oxford languages). We do this daily when we recommend veterinary medical treatments to animal owners. How do you effectively advocate for yourself without coming across as needy or demanding? We will outline three steps to help you be your best advocate. Begin by recognizing you have the ability to advocate on your own behalf. Also recognize that others are often unaware of your wants until you vocalize them. In any negotiation, one individual expects the status quo. The other individual has identified a problem or an opportunity. Dialogue is essential to communicate the problem or opportunity. That dialogue will be fostered by advanced preparation and the gathering of good information. Position yourself by assessing your value to the team. Anchor this dialogue with options that meet the needs of both parties. In navigating the discussion with an open mind you will be able to introduce and gather information during the dialogue to help find a mutually beneficial solution.

Identification of RBC and Platelet Abnormalities: Integration of Analyzer Cytograms, CBC and Blood Film Findings
Abnormalities in the erythrogram (red blood cells) and thrombogram (platelet profile) can provide critical information regarding the health of an animal; however, most veterinary professionals rely totally on the numerical data in the complete blood count (CBC). There are two additional components to the hemogram, the cytograms associated with the data report and the microscopic review of the peripheral blood film. Both of these features of the hemogram provide insights into the red blood cell and platelet morphology. This session will serve as an introduction into the integration of all three components, CBC data, analyzer cytograms and microscopic review of the blood film.

Can I Treat Pain Without Drugs?: Using PRP and Photobiomodulation Therapy To Treat Pain
Do you have a young dog just diagnosed with arthritis for whom starting long term systemic medications at this stage is not ideal? Do you have painful patients that did not do well on pharmaceuticals? Would your clients rather not give NSAIDs or other medication to their painful pets? This presentation will give you alternatives by summarizing novel research on using PRP therapy in cats for DJD pain and PBMT therapy in dogs and cats for the treatment of pain.

Managing Misunderstandings: Navigating Tricky Nutrition Conversations (Hill’s Pet Nutrition) - Nurse/Technician Industry Lunch
Every pet deserves and should receive a nutritional recommendation on every visit. Nutrition is one area of veterinary medicine that affects every pet that comes into the hospital. When a pet receives a therapeutic pet food recommendation, navigating the conversation will help with compliance. It will help the pet parent accept the recommendation and does not change the food recommendation to something that may not be appropriate. You can be instrumental in guiding a pet parent, answering questions and determining feeding amounts. Follow up is imperative for the success of a new food. The veterinary health care team can play an integral role in helping pet owners successfully switch to a new therapeutic food.

CBD/CBDA Rich Hemp: A Look Into Use for Exotic and Zoo Animals
The use of CBD rich hemp is increasing in veterinary medicine and since all mammals have an endocannabinoid system treatment may be achievable. However, the dosing from across species may vary due to size and herbivore/carnivore status. The limited scientific literature and proposed dosing will be discussed. Case studies in wild cats, hoof stock and avian species will be presented to provide some guidelines for use when practitioners are finding that traditional pharmaceuticals are ineffective. Anxiety behaviors and pain appear to be the most treatable conditions and application of these nutraceuticals requires some creativity at times.

Cannabinoids and Neurons: So Much More Than Pain These Days!
In this lecture we will touch on the endocannabinoidome and its far reaches into the use in seizure management, anxiety and even pruritus! There is increasing evidence that cannabidiol products can be used to treat refractory seizures and the studies will be discussed delving into drug-drug interactions that may or may not be occurring. Further successful case management will be discussed. There will be further exploration into the use of cannabinoids in managing anxiety and situational and chronic dosing may differ as well as how tricky finding the best dose for management can be elusive and why further clinical behavioral studies are necessary.

From Silos to Synergy: One Health Improving Access to Veterinary Care
From Silos to Synergy focuses on a new paradigm in veterinary medicine, transitioning from a traditional siloed pet-centric approach to a more inclusive family-centric synergistic system. This paradigm acknowledges the integral role of pets as family members, the interconnected health and well-being of humans, animals, and their shared environment, and the human element of veterinary care, all vital aspects of the One Health approach. The impacts of this transition on veterinary service providers will be explored, as well as how a One Health foundation facilitates a more holistic system through interprofessional collaborations. AlignCare Health, an example of a One Health system to deliver veterinary care, will be highlighted, including strategies for implementing this approach in veterinary medicine and the potential challenges and opportunities it presents.

Spectrum of Care Ethics: Above All… Do No Harm… So Do Something!
Spectrum of Care has become a topic of conversation within the veterinary field of providing care. Though some considerate SOC a "new'' idea, it actually encompasses a traditional general practitioner approach to case management. SOC empowers the GP to manage cases and client's interests with a intellectual integrity, compassion and an empathetic over view of the veterinary client patient relationship. Rigorous SOC case management style encourages GP empowerment and a resilient sense of self esteem for the practitioner while affording the client and patient the best possible care options.

Costs of Care: Impact on Animal and DVM Well-Being
Veterinarians are faced with ethical conflicts between our desire to improve the welfare of animals and relieve suffering and our client’s difficulties in meeting the increasing costs of our medical capabilities. The cost of care for small animal companions is frequently a limiting factor in the quality of medicine an animal receives. As the proportion of pet owners that have insurance coverage in the USA is very low and therefore clients must pay for veterinary services in full, and because fees are rising faster than inflation, decisions to end an animal’s life based on economic factors (economic euthanasia) may be increasing. The consequences of these economic limitations are broad in scope. This lecture will discuss results of a survey-based study to examine the frequency with which veterinarians, pet owners and animal companions are affected by economic limitations, to what extent veterinarians are informing and educating pet owners regarding costs of care and payment options before patient illness occurs, obstacles to veterinarian compliance in educating clients on these topics, the influence of costs of care on career satisfaction and professional burnout, and proposed methods for improvement. Cost of care is affecting more than just the bottom line.

How to Lose Talent in 5 Easy Steps
Many of us choose the veterinary field to uphold the human-animal bond, use science to “do good” and occasionally hold a flea ridden kitten. The romanticized field of veterinary medicine is plagued with burnout, compassion fatigue, debt, low salaries, and poor work life balance. And yet, veterinary schools continue to receive thousands of applications for ~100 spots every year. With the abysmal rates of turnover in all roles in the profession, it is no wonder the number of presentations on recruitment and retention are increasing. You have heard about tools and strategies you can offer to keep talent, but have you thought about every day actions that lead your top talent to walk out the door? Getting anal gland juice in their hair and mouth isn't driving your team out the door, but someone's attitude might be.

Telemedicine and Access to Care
Access to veterinary care poses a problem for many pet owners and their companion animals, and this lack of access can have a number of causes. Can telemedicine expand access to veterinary care, in a way that aids pets, their owners, and the veterinary profession as a whole? In this session, we will explore the benefits and risks of telemedicine, and discuss ways to maximize its benefits for everyone involved.

The Veterinary Technician’s Role in Expanded Access to Care
We are hearing that the professiona needs more veterinary professionals to help handle the load. Veterinary team members are overworked, stressed by patient load and client anxiety, wanting to help but not being utilized to their fullest. Is it a shortage of veterinary professionals or is it an abundance of pets? Is it a shortage of veterinary professionals or are team members not being utilized properly? Maybe it is all the above! Regardless, the profession is searching for solutions. This is good news because pets deserve access to care.
How can credentialed veterinary technicians help in expanding patient access to care? There are many thoughts and ideas being proposed in the veterinary profession and we will take a look at some of these. There is good news - the focus on increasing and improving technician utilization is being discussed and implemented more than ever. Let’s work to ensure it is not only ‘talk’ but more ‘action’. This session will review some of the latest ideas, proposals, laws, that are looking toward increasing utilization or increasing responsibilities of credentialed technicians in veterinary medicine.

ER Survival Skills
The emergency doctor has the benefit of getting daily practice with procedures and treatments that other doctors may find somewhat intimidating. For those not encountering these situations every day, it helps to have a refresher to alleviate some of the stress and hesitation about various ER procedures that could be lifesaving. We will cover tips and tricks from a criticalist perspective on procedures such as thoracocentesis, pericardiocentesis, and trocharization utilizing readily-available equipment. Decision-making and balancing risk-benefit for these procedures will also be covered. We will also discuss a variety of common emergency medications, indications for their use, dosages, and potential side effects. We will investigate selection from the various treatment options for hyperkalemia as well as balancing ideal versus practical resources. This lecture was designed around the most common procedures and medications asked about during consults with general practitioners and the ER topics frequently requested during topic rounds with new graduates.

Put Me In Coach!
Coaching is a method to impact and/or elicit change to get you and your team to a desired outcome. The coaching process is in and of itself an active one. You can see, hear, and feel the movement from a stagnant state to a more dynamic and evolved place. This means that you as the coach, and the team member being coached, are fully immersed in an ongoing learning cycle leading to fresh and more effective workplace behaviors and moving the entire team and practice forward. So, as a veterinary professional, how does coaching apply? We'll first define what coaching IS and also what it is NOT, and then delve into the realms of learning, coming out on the other side with a firmer understanding of that it's not just what we do, but how we do it, and the impacts that has on everyone involved in the process.

MC11: The Team Approach to Changing Your Practice Culture
SOLD OUT
Growth Mindset, Autonomy, and Psychological Safety: They aren't just buzz words for positive psychology researchers anymore. Learn from the data to see if your practice has these 3 things that can help predict employee satisfaction (and reduce turnover) Growth mindset describes a way of viewing challenges and setbacks. Employees who have a growth mindset believe that even if they struggle with certain skills, their abilities aren't set in stone. They think that with work, their skills can improve over time. Psychological safety is the most important aspect of successful teams. Our ability to feel safe to share ideas, to grow from failure, and to be honest with empathy allows our team to bypass the “interpersonal mush” that can exist otherwise. A sense of belonging, ability to be vulnerable, and strong interpersonal relationships are the initial ingredients to create this environment.

What a TPR Can Tell You About Shock
Early recognition of shock is key to ensuring prompt intervention to improve patient outcomes. Those triaging patients and providing ICU care are vital to identifying which patients need immediate attention and a significant amount of information can be determined based on TPR and visual assessment. This lecture discusses cases where shock was not recognized and what may have contributed to this. Some situations are complicated and this lecture works through specific scenarios that can commonly be confusing. How do you interpret a TPR in a post-anesthetic patient – does hypothermia suggest it needs fluid resuscitation or simply a Baer hugger? Is a heart rate of 140 bpm in a cat a cause for concern? Is this dog’s tachycardia from shock, pain, stress, or a full bladder? A goal will be to provide guidelines for identification of shock based on TPR and visual assessment of a patient.

What’s New With Grain Free Pet Foods
Historically, DCM in dogs was usually diagnosed in large and giant breeds, where it is believed to have a genetic component. However, emerging science appears to indicate that non-hereditary forms of DCM occur in dogs as a complex medical condition that may be affected by the interplay of multiple factors such as genetics, underlying medical conditions, and diet. Aspects of diet that may interact with genetics and underlying medical conditions may include nutritional makeup of the ingredients and how dogs digest them, ingredient sourcing, processing, formulation, and/or feeding practices. Boutique, exotic ingredient, and grain free diets were initially implicated in the non-hereditary form of DCM. What are the FDA and veterinary nutrition and cardiology researchers finding now in regard to causes of the development of non-hereditary DCM? This session will review the latest findings and developments related to 'diet associated DCM".

Common Cutaneous Inflammatory/Non Neoplastic Diseases (Infectious or Non-Infectious)
Not all masses are tumors (thank goodness!). Inflammatory diseases are some of the more commonly encountered lesions when interpreting cytologic samples. Sometimes, the most specific diagnosis possible is a general diagnosis of a class of inflammation (depending on the types of inflammatory cells present) with a list of potential common causes. Other times a specific condition can be determined.

Equine Laryngeal Ultrasound
The equine larynx is an important and complicated area in the horse with the potential for multiple pathologies that may affect equine athleticism or health. There are a variety of diagnostic tools that can be used to diagnose laryngeal pathologies such as endoscopy, radiography, culture, cytology, and ultrasonography. Although upper airway endoscopy is commonly used to identify laryngeal pathologies it may not be available in every situation and is unable to evaluate the non-luminal structures of the larynx. Equine laryngeal ultrasonography is one diagnostic tool that can be used to diagnose equine laryngeal pathologies when endoscopy is not available and as a useful aid to provide additional non-luminal information even with endoscopy. This presentation will discuss how to perform equine laryngeal ultrasonography and common equine laryngeal pathologies that can be diagnosed with ultrasound.

It’s a Zoo Out There: Canine Parasite Zoonotic Risks
This presentation covers important parasites and vector-borne pathogens of dogs that can also infect people and explains strategies for minimizing public health risks. We will discuss new information about hookworms, roundworms, flea tapeworms, and Echinococcus spp. that is relevant for human health and explain the basis for current recommendations on controlling zoonotic parasites in dogs. We’ll also review zoonotic risks associated with fleas and ticks, including vector-borne infections like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever that are shared by dogs and people, and even go over some parasites that aren’t zoonotic despite common misimpressions. Join us as we sort through the zoo of companion animal zoonoses.

Case Challenges: Is It Cancer?
The cytological diagnosis of cancer can be made by evaluation of the nuclear criteria for malignancy in a cell population. However, there may be cases where other factors need to be considered when determining the malignant potential and biological behavior for neoplasms. This case presentation illustrates some circumstances where the nuclear criteria alone are not enough to predict the biological behavior of a particular neoplasm.

Bovine Anaplasmosis: Things We Now Know and Some Things That Just Ain’t So
Anaplasmosis, caused by the hemoparasite Anaplasma marginale, is the most prevalent tick-transmitted disease of cattle worldwide. Anaplasmosis is readily transmitted through biological and mechanical vectors such as ticks and biting flies and iatrogenically through needles and equipment contaminated with infected blood. Clinical anaplasmosis, characterized by anemia, icterus and fever, is associated with significant production losses, abortions and mortalities in cattle. In this session we will learn how to identify, treat and control bovine anaplasmosis.

Fueling Success: Nutrition in Your Clinic (Virbac) - Industry Lunch
Do you know how to build a successful nutrition service in your practice? It is all about understanding and answering the question every pet parent wants to know, “What is the best diet for my Buddy?” You and your hospital team need to know the talking points and deliver proper diet and nutrition plans for your patients. You make nutrition recommendations for a patient who has been diagnosed with a disease state i.e. chronic kidney disease, diabetes, etc. but what about our healthy puppies, kittens, and adult dogs and cats? We know that a healthy diet and preventative weight management has been shown to not only extend life span, but it also results in less disease. We have about 60% of our patients overweight or obese; they have been set up for concurrent diseases, more drugs, higher anesthetic risks, and shorter life span. It is time to take back nutrition, you know proper nutrition matters, and you are that patient’s doctor. So, let’s answer those nutrition questions and recommend the diets they need to provide best nutrition for their Buddy.

Tick Tidbits: Novel Insights & Protection Updates on These Tiny Troublemakers (Elanco) - Industry Lunch
Ticks pose a health risk to companion animals as nuisance blood-feeding pests and through the numerous pathogens they can vector. The lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum) is a common tick found on canines and humans in the U.S. and can serve as a vector of several significant tick-borne pathogens, including agents of ehrlichiosis and spotted fever rickettsiosis. Lone star ticks also prove a robust challenge for canine tick control products and are considered a rate-limiting tick species. This presentation will review: geographic regions where lone star ticks are found; risk of encountering lone star ticks; lone star tick associated pathogens and what’s known about their transmission timing; and, control and prevention of ticks to reduce risk tick-borne diseases in canines and humans. Finally, this presentation will describe and compare the speed of lone star tick kill on dogs administered one of three, monthly-dosed, tick control products to control existing and new lone star tick infestations over each product’s label-approved dosing period.

Equine Regional Limb Perfusion
Orthopedic infections, whether osseous or synovial, are commonplace in equine veterinary practice. Elimination of bacteria from the area is a critical component of therapy which is accomplished with antimicrobial therapy or lavage/debridement. Intravenous regional limb perfusion (IVRLP) is a technique that can be performed in horses, in a field or hospital setting, that generates high concentrations of antimicrobials in equine distal limbs. This presentation will discuss how to perform an IVRLP for distal limb orthopedic infections or penetrating synovial wounds in horses as well as technical aspects of equine IVRLP.

This webinar will discuss several of the myths being told to associates by certain industry professionals about the viability of practice ownership. All too often, associates Bank of America works with tell us they have heard – “No, You Can’t!”, since Veterinary School and during the early stages of their careers– when contemplating the idea of hospital ownership. We are here to debunk those myths and discuss what very first steps you should take as you start your journey from associate to owner.

That Shade of Cyanosis Looks Great on You: A Practical Approach to Respiratory Distress
Respiratory distress can be one of the most stressful situations to manage. This lecture will provide insight into a criticalist's approach to a respiratory distress case, prioritizing practical decision-making and using readily-available supplies. Having walked countless general practitioners and newer graduates through these cases, we will focus on common questions, soothing anxieties, and building confidence with respiratory distress. Prompt administration of oxygen and sedation are imperative. We will talk through the multitude of ways to provide oxygen, how to use readily-available supplies, and choosing the best route of oxygen administration for each patient. We will dive into the emergency clinician’s mindset when working through the dyspneic patient with the goal of giving the audience tools to make a rapid assessment of the patient and expedite prioritizing differential diagnoses. Differentials can often quickly be made based on species, breed, a few physical exam findings, and a brief history. An initial treatment plan can be made based on the most likely differentials and then adjusted based on patient response. We will discuss the best time to do more definitive diagnostic testing such as radiographs to improve patient outcomes.

Act 3: Real Case, Real People, Even More Problems
In this first of its kind lecture, you will learn about how to manage a road trauma patient case from an all-team approach. Learn from a client service representative what happens when a hit-by-car presents and how to manage it from a front desk perspective. Listen to both a technician and doctor talk about treating the case. A practice manager will share their perspective on how hospital operations can support the case. Each lecture will build on each other. However, if you want to jump into the case in the middle you will get to pick up where the case is and still learn from these amazing all-team lecturers.

Put That Scalpel Down! What To Do When You Can’t Or Shouldn’t Cut a Hemoabdomen
When we picture the classic hemoabdomen, we imagine an older retriever with a bleeding splenic mass requiring urgent surgical intervention. However, surgery may not be an option due to patient comorbidities, finances, or family needs. Often euthanasia is regarded as the only alternative to surgery, but depending on patient stability there may be non-surgical options to give the pet and their family more time together. This could include autotransfusion to address anemia for good blood product stewardship and without excess cost. Other causes of hemoabdomen including blunt force trauma and anaphylaxis generally should not be managed with surgery. Hemorrhage in these scenarios will typically resolve with time and supportive care and patient morbidity and mortality may actually be worsened with anesthesia and surgery. It is critical to be able to identify potential anaphylaxis as the cause of a spontaneous hemoabdomen: these patients tend to be younger, previously healthy, with peracute onset of signs of shock, and classically have gall bladder wall edema. Anaphylaxis also comes with some specific treatment choices, in addition to supportive and symptomatic management of the hemoabdomen. Hemoabdomen from coagulopathy is less common, but needs to be identified as surgery could be fatal in a coagulopathic patient. A review of hemostasis and choosing and interpreting hemostatic tests will be provided. This lecture will cover appropriate IV fluid therapy, blood product selection, and utilization of clot-stabilizing medications to medically manage a hemoabdomen. Speaker(s): Christine Culler

What Do We Know About Using CBD and Hemp Products in Farm Animals?
The 2014 Farm Bill defined industrial hemp (IH) as plants and plant components derived from Cannabis sativa containing < 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Under the 2018 Farm Bill IH was removed as a DEA Schedule I drug, thus increasing interest in growing IH as a novel agriculture commodity. Industrial hemp is grown for 3 main uses: 1) fiber for textiles; 2) seeds for oil and protein; and 3) flowers for cannabinoid products such as cannabidiol (CBD) oil. Varieties of IH have a distinct phenotype based on the intended use. Regardless of the intended use, hemp and hemp products are increasingly being utilized as feed or medication in farm animals kept as pets. In this session we will take an evidence-based approach to investigate the effect of CBD in livestock and the regulatory considerations when administering these compounds to farm animals.

The “New” and the “Tried-And-True” of Equine Sarcoid Treatment
Equine sarcoid is the most common type of cancer in horses worldwide. There are many long-standing beliefs about the diagnosis and management of sarcoid tumors, some of which are inaccurate. Early recognition, accurate diagnosis, and early treatment are important factors for obtaining a positive outcome. This presentation will discuss evidenced based causes (they might surprise you!), manifestations, treatment choices and outcomes in a case-based format. The attendee will come away with the latest information on how horses become infected with the causative viruses, diagnostic options, and evidenced based treatment options for the different types and locations of sarcoid tumors. The specific “how-tos” of the different available treatments will be covered. The attendee will develop an understanding of why some treatment options fail, what do about treatment failures, and how to avoid treatment failures in the future.

Myth Busting in Hematology - Everything You Were Taught in School Was True... NOT! (Antech and Sound Imaging) - Evening Session
Myth #5 – Neutrophilia and leukocytosis are good indicators of infection
A common mistake made by many is believing that leukocytosis and neutrophilia are good indicators of inflammation and in many minds, infection. There are far better ways to properly interpret the leukogram and in particular in accurately identifying active inflammation. The ‘inflammogram’ that we should all consider includes the identification of immature (band) and/or toxic neutrophils, irrespective of their numbers as well as recognizing the importance of identifying monocytosis and measurement of various acute phase proteins. These will be discussed through case-based presentations. Myth #13 – MCV and MCHC are good indicators of red blood cell regeneration. Essentially all our textbooks describe the morphologic features of a regenerative anemia as being macrocytic (increased MCV) and hypochromic (decreased MCHC). The textbooks are correct that these can be features seen with regenerative anemia; however, the frequency of finding this pattern is actually low. The objective reticulocyte count is not only valuable, but essential in properly characterizing a proper bone marrow response (regeneration) to anemia.

Art of Acupuncture Begins With the Basics
Make a diagnosis, select the points, then place the needles. But is that enough? Multiple variables affect treatment success, such as the treatment plan, the number of needles, needle manipulation, the specific acupoints, the interaction between the points, session frequency, and the needling approach. Tailoring these basic but essential concepts to the patient's needs is the art of acupuncture.This is the first of two lectures; we will review these basic concepts and their practical applications.

To Switch, or Not Switch? Should We Use a Different Antimicrobial Drug Class to Treat BRD Relapses?
Although 90% of bovine respiratory disease relapses are reported to receive retreatment with a different class of antimicrobial, studies examining the impact of antimicrobial selection (i.e. bactericidal or bacteriostatic) on retreatment outcomes and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are deficient in the published literature. In this session we will investigate the impact of antimicrobial drug class switching on treatment outcomes and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance.

Evidence-Based Treatment of Equine Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Melanoma.
Squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma are two of the most common skin tumors of the horse. Despite the differences in these tumor types, they share many similarities such as common locations, effective treatments options and the ability to metastasis. This presentation will cover evidence-based diagnosis and treatment options. These treatment options include piroxicam, local chemotherapy (injectable, beads, topical), cryotherapy, immunotherapy, and combined treatments including electrochemotherapy. The specific “how-tos” of the different available treatments will be covered. The attendee will develop an understanding of why some treatment options fail, what do about treatment failures, and how to avoid treatment failures in the future.

Perfecting Your Point Prescriptions
Make a diagnosis, select the points, then place the needles. But is that enough? The pattern diagnosis determines the treatment goals. The treatment goals influence the selection of the specific acupoints. Creating a balanced and harmonized point prescription is the most effective method for favorable and longer-lasting treatment results. The “ideal” point prescription balances these five axes: Distal-Local. Top (Upper)-Bottom (Lower). Left-Right. Front-Back, and Yin-Yang. This lecture will continue our discussion by reviewing prescription balancing concepts and illustrating their applications.

Unconscious Bias
You have unconscious or implicit biases. We all do! We develop biases regularly to simplify our lives and daily tasks. Unconscious bias refers to the categorizations and associations our brains make to make decisions more efficiently. This otherwise helpful mechanism can become problematic when our unconscious biases affect how we make decisions about and interact with other people and their animals. One important thing to consider is how unconscious bias works in conjunction with stereotypes, such that people with historically and contemporarily marginalized identities are harmed disproportionately by unconscious bias. In this session, we will reflect on and discuss personal problematic biases, identify how we bring them into consciousness, and counteract their potential to harm clients and patients.

Act 1: Real Case, Real People, Real Solution, Road Trauma
In this first of its kind lecture, you will learn about how to manage a road trauma patient case from an all-team approach. Learn from a client service representative what happens when a hit-by-car presents and how to manage it from a front desk perspective. Listen to both a technician and doctor talk about treating the case. A practice manager will share their perspective on how hospital operations can support the case. Each lecture will build on each other. However, if you want to jump into the case in the middle you will get to pick up where the case is and still learn from these amazing all-team lecturers.

Case-Based Equine Skin Tumor Discussion, Part 1
Because many skin disorders share the same physical characteristics, it can be difficult for the equine veterinarian to diagnose the problem without a few specific skills and techniques. The goal of this presentation is to familiarize the veterinarian with the development of a problem list, differential diagnosis and diagnostic tests for equine dermatologic cases with a focus on equine skin tumors. A detailed history and clinical examination followed by the appropriate diagnostic tests will lead to a successful outcome in the majority of equine dermatological cases. Basic techniques for the evaluation of equine skin tumors include aspiration, biopsy, enbloc resection and occasionally skin scrapings.
The attendee will become familiar with standard protocols to diagnose and treat any tumor of the skin or mouth in the equine species, by working through a variety of cases including mast cell tumors, lymphoma, fibrosarcomas, round cell tumors of soft parts and others. Speaker(s): Ann Rashmir

Trigger Points
Not all pain is created equal. While there are many causes of musculoskeletal pain, not all of it can be detected by radiographs. These unique pain areas in the muscles and tendons are given the name trigger points. A myofascial trigger point is a hyperirritable locus within a taut band of skeletal muscle, located within the muscular tissue and/or its associated fascia. The structures that are affected by trigger points are the skeletal muscles, tendons, joints capsules and ligaments, periosteum, and the skin, especially areas around scars. This presentation will cover how to locate trigger points in small and large animals during examination, the muscles most commonly involved, and corrective measures. Speaker(s): Michelle Tilghman

Connecting the Hispanic Zoo Community: How To Create Programs and Help Zoo Animals
There are many challenges present when fostering and pursuing professional training and education in the zoo, research, and wildlife fields in Latin America. Zoological medicine in Latin America has represented several challenges, but one of the main is that almost every school of veterinary medicine possesses a differing syllabus. For decades in Latin American countries veterinary medicine has been appraised as a profession that is essential specifically for animal production. Hundreds of universities in the Hispanic world offer veterinary programs mainly focused on animal production and/or small animal and large animal medicine, but only a handful have considered the importance of including wildlife conservation, zoo animal medicine and welfare, or exotic pet medicine training in their curricula no matter the diversity of wildlife species of these megadiverse areas. Different veterinary associations and veterinary working groups have been formed in the last two decades which have been instrumental in the development of zoo, exotic pets and wildlife medicine- oriented training programs assuring the care of wildlife through capabilities of veterinarians keeping these populations healthy.

This session is livestreamed from VMX Orlando. This session will only be streamed live and will not be available On Demand.
“What are my options, doc?” Whether you practice in a general, urgent, or emergency setting, you undoubtedly see pets presenting for unexpected health problems. Research suggests that 1 in 3 pet families would struggle to pay for an unexpected veterinary bill of $500 or less. But how do we really know what the options are, and how can we discuss the trade-offs as we offer treatment and diagnostic options across a range from basic to advanced?

Psychological Safety
Psychological safety is the shared belief held by members of a work team that teammates will not embarrass, reject, or punish them for sharing ideas, taking risks, or soliciting feedback and is a key component of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Diverse opinions, experiences, and knowledge can be better leveraged when team members feel comfortable speaking up and are accustomed to considering alternate viewpoints. In a psychologically safe environment, employees are less stressed and anxious, which improves their mental and physical health. This positive effect on wellbeing can enhance productivity, reduce absenteeism, and increase overall job satisfaction. Despite psychological safety being a top driver of employee retention, however, psychologically safe teams are exceptionally rare. The good news? You have the power to help change that! Come explore tangible methods for creating work cultures that value learning, demonstrating curiosity, acknowledging fallibility as part of the human experience, and a willingness to experiment, fail forward, learn, and grow.

Act 2: Real Case, Real People, No Money, More Problems
In this first of its kind lecture, you will learn about how to manage a road trauma patient case from an all-team approach. Learn from a client service representative what happens when a hit-by-car presents and how to manage it from a front desk perspective. Listen to both a technician and doctor talk about treating the case. A practice manager will share their perspective on how hospital operations can support the case. Each lecture will build on each other. However, if you want to jump into the case in the middle you will get to pick up where the case is and still learn from these amazing all-team lecturers.

Case-Based Equine Skin Tumor Discussion, Part 2
Because many skin disorders share the same physical characteristics, it can be difficult for the equine veterinarian to diagnose the problem without a few specific skills and techniques. The goal of this presentation is to familiarize the veterinarian with the development of a problem list, differential diagnosis and diagnostic tests for equine dermatologic cases with a focus on equine skin tumors. A detailed history and clinical examination followed by the appropriate diagnostic tests will lead to a successful outcome in the majority of equine dermatological cases. Basic techniques for the evaluation of equine skin tumors include aspiration, biopsy, enbloc resection and occasionally skin scrapings.
The attendee will become familiar with standard protocols to diagnose and treat any tumor of the skin or mouth in the equine species, by working through a variety of cases including mast cell tumors, lymphoma, fibrosarcomas, round cell tumors of soft parts and others. Speaker(s): Ann Rashmir

My Neck, My Back: An Introduction to Topline Dysfunction in Sport Horses
Topline dysfunction is a term this author has coined in order to more accurately describe back problems in horses and provide a more complete diagnosis. “Back pain” just isn’t descriptive enough to be able to describe the three main components this author appreciates when horses present for poor performance and lameness. Topline dysfunction has three main components: weakness, hypomobility, and generalized pain. Each component will be discussed from assessment and diagnostics to treatments and outcome measures.

Acute Pain: What Cats Want Us To Know
Course Description: Have you ever wondered what pain would feel like from a cat’s point of view? What life would be like for a cat in pain? Being the cat in pain could give us new perspectives on the impact of pain on both the cat and the caregiver. In this session we will discuss pain’s impact on physiology, welfare and behavior and will explore analgesic answers for cats in acute pain.

Working Through Neurological Diagnostic Puzzles: Three Case Studies
A number of case studies I will present each illustrate the integrated TCVM and Western diagnostic process for neurological disorders that initially present as intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). Veterinarians who make a practice of observing how and when their patients typically respond to their treatment protocols can use this knowledge to help them identify when further diagnostic tests are needed. After establishing a TCVM diagnosis, I use acupuncture and spinal adjustment on these types of cases. When a patient does not respond within three treatments or responds atypically, I know that further diagnostics are in order.

Staying Alive: How To Keep Yourself and Your Zoo Patients Safe
In a well-known Gary Larson cartoon, a one-eyed man with a peg leg and a hook where his right arm used to be walks to a podium as a moderator introduces him. "Today our guest lecturer is Dr Clarence Tibbs whose 20 year career has culminated in his recent autobiography, "Zoo Vet -- I Quit." This talk provides some guidelines on how not to wind up looking like Dr Tibbs when working with very dangerous animals including venomous snakes, elephants, and large carnivores. The fact that the speaker is on her third set of false teeth is entirely coincidental.

Virtual: Gutting to the Truth - Microbiomes Myths and Facts (AnimalBiome)
This session is livestreamed from VMX Orlando. This session will only be streamed live and will not be available On Demand. If the gut microbiome had an account on instagram, it would go viral. The importance of animal microbiomes are trending as veterinary professionals and pet parents learn more about how the microscopic residents, and their by-products of fermentation affect the health of the whole pet. Misinformation can occur especially since this area of science is rapidly changing through developing technology and the understanding of the function of resident microbes. Can you decipher the myths or facts when discussing microbiome-focused topics including testing, dysbiosis, and antimicrobial therapy options? This session will bust some commonly associated myths and facts that are circulating about microbiome medicine, the microbiomes of animals, and therapy options for veterinary patients.

Leveraging Generational Diversity for a Thriving Workplace
While generational diversity “gone wrong” populates every kind of media currently available today, from newspapers and primetime evening news to memes and Tik Tok, most of us experience the real-world version in our day-to-day lives and workplace. In fact, up to FIVE generations may coexist in the same environment, making the modern workplace the most generationally diverse in history. A generation, in this case, refers to a cohort of individuals, born within roughly a twenty-year period, who collectively experience social change, important common events, and similar relational interaction. However, only about 5% of employers have developed specific tactics to ensure their workplace is age-inclusive, and capitalizing on this promising opportunity (OERD, 2020). In this session, we’ll discuss strategies to build a multi-skilled team, increase productivity, foster the talent pipeline, and increase retention, knowledge, and resilience. You’ll leave with an action plan for fostering a thriving, generationally diverse organization.

Zoonotic Diseases: How To Avoid the Cooties of Concern
A zoonosis is a disease naturally transmitted from vertebrate animals to humans, caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, prions, and fungi, and transmission may be either directly or by vectors. Zoonotic diseases encompass more than 200 diseases that are transmitted to humans by different animal species either from zoos, pets, livestock, hunting, travel, or wildlife. The most common emerging and reemerging infectious diseases in our world today should be approached using the One Health concept, highlighting interdisciplinary collaborations and communication, as well as promoting public education, and taking specific preventive measures to avoid future zoonoses. In a general context, public education, and the appreciation of human behavior modification strategies (such as hunting, natural resource extraction, live markets, and bushmeat consumption) are important measures taken to reduce exposure to zoonotic infectious diseases. The One Health initiative highlights the collaboration of related health disciplines including veterinarians, ecologists, physicians, nurses, wildlife experts, and public health experts among others, to achieve optimal health. The importance of this has never been so prevalent, given the societal struggles caused by such diseases over the last few years. Speaker(s): Enrique Yarto

Expanding and Enhancing Your Surgical Skills Workshop
SOLD OUT
This workshop is for any veterinarian who wants to expand and enhance their surgical skills. We learn fundamental surgery skills as a student, but many of the nuances don’t stick because we don’t have the experience to assimilate them yet. Now out in practice, it would be nice to have a course to finetune skills and learn new ones. Using models and cadavers, you will practice the subtleties of instrument handling, various suture patterns, useful knots (hand-ties, friction knots, Aberdeen, et al), tacking and walking sutures, techniques to close oddly-shaped wounds and eliminate dog-ears, and the placement of stents and drains. With the coaching provided in this lab, you will hone your surgical skills, making surgery more fun for you and more beneficial for your patients and practice.

Locoregional Anesthetic Techniques
Local anesthetic drugs are considered the quintessential analgesic, uniquely capable of blocking 100% of pain perception. Loco-regional anesthetic techniques (nerve blocks) provide a rapid onset of analgesia, work synergistically with other analgesics, and enable reduced inhalant concentrations while improving patient recoveries. Clients have come to expect pain management from veterinary facilities, and adding loco-regional anesthetic techniques can be a simple and profitable way to augment patient care. Numerous loco-regional anesthetic techniques will be discussed, including video demonstrations on how to perform each technique. Some of the techniques discussed include brachial plexus, RUM (ring), and intratesticular blocks, epidural analgesia and much more!

Darting for Dummies and Anesthetic Adventures
Although many zoo animals are trained for hand injections, sometimes the only way to get a zoo animal safely anesthetized is with a dart gun. Attendees will learn how to chose the dart gun and darts most appropriate for a given situation, safe handling of ultrapotent narcotics, what to do when the dart hits but the animal stays standing, what to do when the dart goes someplace it shouldn't, and why three darts is too much.

Avian Diabetes: Let’s Not Sugarcoat It
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is infrequently reported but one of the most common endocrine diseases of birds. It has been reported across multiple avian orders. Due to differences in anatomy and physiology, classification of DM in birds is often unclear using the mammalian scheme. Although diagnostic and treatment options are similar to those utilized in mammalian species, the smaller body size of most avian patients can make management of this disease a challenge. This lecture will review avian pancreatic anatomy and physiology, including the 3 major hormones involved in endocrine function in birds. Proposed and confirmed causes of diabetes mellitus in avian patients will be covered, as well as signalment and clinical signs of disease in these patients. The focus of the lecture will be on diagnosis of DM and treatment options in birds. Speaker(s): Brynn McCleery

The Non-Traditional Zoo Vet: Exploring Opportunities
The enormous variety of patients that a non-domestic veterinarian can treat during their professional career carries a level of excitement that motivates many of us to focus or specialize in this specific area of veterinary medicine. The non-traditional zoo vet must consider a wide variety of taxa, whether in zoos, wildlife rehabilitation centers, wildlife research, clinical practice with exotic companion species or new companion species, dolphinariums, aquariums, and ectotherm facilities, to name a few. Being a zoo or non-traditional species veterinarian involves having resilience and persistence, passion and compassion, critical thinking and empathy, problem solving and creating opportunities, effective communication and “ego deficiency”. Vitally, we must understand that at all times we continue to learn and will forever be teachers for some, and apprentices to many. The job possibilities and aspirations of a non-traditional species vet comprise of: (a) veterinary hospitals with specialized care in non-conventional or “exotic” species; (b) zoos; (c) wildlife breeding centers; (d) private collections of wild animals; (e) aquariums; (f) collections with aquatic mammals; (g) herpetofauna (reptiles and amphibians); (h) animal research centers; (i) official government agencies for environmental and wildlife care; (j) veterinary pharmaceutical industry, (k) conservation programs for threatened or endangered species, including reintroduction and translocation, (l) current conservation programs with One Health approach, m) rehabilitation centers, and (m) academia; to mention just a few.

Virtual: Let’s Face It: Every Case is a Behavior Case! Practical Tips to Calm Patients, Pet Parents, and Teams (Ceva)
This session is livestreamed from VMX Orlando. In this 1-hr RACE approved lecture, attendees will first gain an overview of the main concept: behavioral abnormalities exist in every small animal case. This will be supported through market research and statistics of different common behavioral abnormalities and pet parent perceptions. The lecture will then dive into classic behavioral abnormalities we see (separation anxiety, noise phobias, excessive barking), anxiety and fear created by chronic medication administration, and then signs we see in the aging population associated with cognitive dysfunction, all with tips and tricks for recognition and treatment. The final section will specifically address how having a calm clinic through pheromone use and other strategies can help improve behavior in patients, pet parents, and teams through reduction of anxiety and improved work culture.

Feather Loss and Feather Destructive Behavior: A Plucking Annoying Problem
Feather loss is one of the most common presenting complaints in avian practices and is an extremely frustrating problem for both veterinarians and avian caregivers. Feather loss is not a disease itself but rather is a highly complex symptom with many potential etiologies. Overall, feather loss cases can be divided into medical and nonmedical causes of loss with or without overt feather destructive behavior (FDB). FDB occurs on a spectrum and encompasses everything from mild overpreening leading to fraying and pigment stripping to chewing, picking, and plucking. At the far end of the spectrum, self-mutilation of the skin and muscle may occur. This lecture will cover the prevalence of FDB in the captive parrot population, common signalment, sequelae of feather loss, and causes and risk factors of FDB. Recommended diagnostics to identify the cause of FDB will be reviewed, along with treatment options for these birds. A multi-modal and tailored treatment plan is often required for each bird and may involve treatment of underlying medical conditions, environmental changes, enrichment, use of applied behavioral analysis techniques, hormone therapy, and neuropharmaceuticals.

Practical Equine Ophthalmology: Management of Adnexal, Orbital and Other Equine Ophthalmology Cases
Though corneal disorders and uveitis are the most common issues that prompt owners to seek veterinary care for their horses, eyelid, orbital, and neurologic issues should stay on every veterinarian's radar as possible causes of corneal pathology. We will discuss management of various adnexal abnormalities (entropion, ectopic cilia, distichiasis, eyelid lacerations, neoplasia, dacryocystitis), orbital issues (fractures, neoplasia), and neurologic disorders (facial nerve paralysis, Horner's syndrome). Enucleation considerations and surgical tips will also be addressed for when an eye is irreversibly, blind and painful or simply cannot be saved.

Zoo Equipment, Supplies, and Procedures: Thinking Outside the Box
Zoo medicine requires ingenuity because commercial products do not exist for all sizes and species of animals. How do you build a walker for a lame elephant? What do you need to take diagnostic radiographs of a miniscule pocket mouse without sedation? Can you build your own darting equipment for specific and/or peculiar situations? (Yes!) In this talk, two zoo veterinarians describe some of the more unconventional approaches they have taken to providing high quality care to some very unusual species.

How To Keep Care Affordable, Pay Staff More and Practice Better Medicine (Ceva) - Evening Session
In this engaging 50-minute presentation, we will delve into what a "spectrum of care" approach in veterinary practice can mean for pet healthcare, and how this approach might be established in an existing practice. As the cost of veterinary care rises and pet owners face difficult decisions regarding their furry companions' health, a spectrum of care approach can offer a win-win-win solution. We'll explore how adopting a spectrum of care approach empowers pet owners to provide optimal care for their pets without undue financial strain, while simultaneously allowing veterinary practices to enhance staff compensation and enable doctors to practice medicine of the highest quality. By understanding the symbiotic relationship between affordability, staff satisfaction, and medical excellence, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge to reshape their practices and create a positive impact on the well-being of pets and the success of veterinary businesses.

Management of Skin Autoimmune Diseases
The goal of therapy for autoimmune dermatoses is to control the disease and improving the quality of life of our patients while minimizing the adverse effects of the treatments. Before starting treatments, and when flares occur, it is important to differentiate infections (pyoderma and demodicosis, dermatophytosis) from an actual disease flare. Treatment with immunosuppressive therapy in the presence of these infections can be very harmful. This session will discuss available treatment options for management of autoimmune skin diseases.

Next Steps in Soft Tissue Surgery Workshop
SOLD OUT
This course is designed to teach participants the technical aspects of a variety of soft tissue surgery procedures. Some ‘theory’ will be included in the lectures, but emphasis will be placed on ‘how’ to perform each procedure. The instructor will utilize video clips of clinical cases that represent the procedures participants will perform in the lab. Surgical procedures will be performed immediately after viewing the video. Topics have been chosen that represent surgical conditions commonly seen in veterinary practice and will include: scrotal urethrostomy, salivary gland resection, TECA-LBO anal sacculectomy; a novel approach, chest drain placement using a feeding tube, trocar chest tube and a percutaneous tube placement device, esophagostomy feeding tube placement and incisional gastropexy for the treatment of GDV.

Avian Reproductive Surgery: When Loving Leads to Laxity
Reproductive disease is common in avian patients and often requires surgical intervention. This lecture will start with an overview of avian reproductive anatomy, including anatomy of the cloaca and vent. Common clinical symptoms associated with reproductive disease and diagnostic options will be briefly discussed. The lecture will then focus on common reproductive, cloacal, and vent procedures used to treat the avian patient. Procedures covered will include obstetrical techniques for avian egg binding, exploratory surgery for egg related coelomitis, transverse vent sutures to help prevent recurrent prolapse, cloacopexy, and ventplasty. Salpingohysterectomy (i.e., surgical removal of the oviduct) will be covered in detail. Although the main focus of the lecture will be on female reproductive surgeries, procedures performed in males will also be briefly reviewed. Hands-on learning from a mentor, via a conference-based laboratory, or through practice on cavaders is recommended to help improve surgical technique prior to performing these procedures on a patient.

The Devil’s in the Details - C-sections in Ruminants
Albeit a review of patient preparation and routine surgical approach will take place to provide context, the focus (and hopefully an interactive discussion amongst those in attendance) will be on reviewing the available evidence for steps taken or preferences made by veterinarians and perhaps debunking myths entrenched in the food animal practitioner psyche along the way, in a clinically focused discussion of the commonplace Cesarean section in ruminants.

Itchy and Scratchy... Not Always Allergies
Several pruritic skin conditions can mimic allergic dermatitis; therefore, considering them as differential diagnosis and systematically ruling them out is a very important part of a pruritic patient work up. The signalment, history, type of skin lesions, distribution, and previous response to therapy will help us rank our differential diagnoses; however, performing some basic, and in some cases more advance testing will help us to reach a definitive diagnosis. During this session we will go over several cases of allergy fakers! Sponsored by: Zoetis Speaker(s): Sandra Diaz-Vergara

Feline Chronic Enteropathy
Cats are the co-morbidity poster child, like grandparents, they almost never seem to have just one problem. But cats take this to the next level, where they seem able to house 2 or 3 different disease processes within a single GI tract – from food responsive to IBD to lymphoma…or perhaps they are all related and just enjoy spending time together.

Sub Palpebral Lavage - Placement and Trouble Shooting
Placement of subpalpebral lavage (SPL) systems are key for patient (and owner) compliance in horses that require numerous and frequent medications or are hard to medicate. Due to the long-flexible catheter they require the use of liquid medications versus ointments. If placed incorrectly, corneal ulcers can result from footplate friction so conscious attention during placement and routing monitoring of line position is important. This session will detail the simple steps for placing a SPL in an upper or lower eyelid, using the SPL, troubleshooting tips, and removal of the SPL once an eye has healed. This treatment system can greatly facilitate equine ocular management to help save horses' eyes and everyone's sanity.

Tips for a Complication Free Scrotal Urethrostomy
Persistent bleeding can be a common problem after standard simple interrupted closure of scrotal urethrostomies. The modified scrotal urethrostomy technique outlined in this presentation uses a continuous suture pattern and a three-needle bite sequence for urethrostomy closure. In my hands, this modification has dramatically reduced active bleeding, bleeding after urination, and bruising postoperatively. The rationale for the modified technique is several fold. Simple continuous suture patterns produce a better seal by more completely apposing tissues. Continuous suture patterns require less knots, and irritation from “prickly” knot ears is reduced. Sutures are placed closer together and this also improves urethra to skin apposition. Incorporation of a bite of tunica albuginea adds additional strength to the incision line and helps seal incised cavernous tissue edges. When the needle is passed outward from the urethra to skin, better apposition of cut surfaces results. During this interactive presentation we will review general indications for scrotal urethrostomy in dogs. Key important steps in creating an uncomplicated and permanent scrotal urethrostomy will be demonstrated. Proper aftercare of dogs with scrotal urethrostomies will also be discussed.

When Things Get Hot: Crop Burn Repair in Birds
The crop, or ingluves, is an esophageal diverticulum present in many (but not all!) birds. The crop is prominent in psittacine birds and can be pendulous when filled with food, making it more susceptible to trauma. Sources of trauma include predator bites, improper gavage feeding technique, ingestion of foreign bodies, puncture wounds, and consumption of excessively hot food items. Burn wounds of the crop are most common in neonates being hand-fed excessively hot formula but can also occur in adult birds eating hot table foods and beverages, after ingestion of caustic chemicals, from contact with a heat pads or heat lamps, or from blow-drying wet birds. More severe burns frequently result in the formation of a fistula between the crop and skin. Although some mild cases may heal on their own, most of these birds require surgical repair for full healing. This lecture will review crop anatomy and function, symptoms associated with crop burns, and both medical and surgical treatment options.

Getting Your Hands Wet as an Aquatic Animal Veterinary Technician!
As an aquatic animal veterinary technician our patients have slightly different needs, as water is an important factor! We do a lot of thinking outside the “tank” for our animals to ensure they have the best care possible. From radiographs, ultrasounds, CTs, blood collections and general treatments we work closely with our veterinarians and animal care partners to be able to provide that care to our aquatic animal residents. In a system that has 5.7 million gallons of water – there is so much to encounter!

Make Your Skin Incisions Lovely: Practical Tips
During this presentation we will review the qualities of a "lovely skin closure". The key prerequisite for cosmetic skin closure is proper hypodermal apposition. Closure of this tissue layer will "set the stage" for cosmetic dermal apposition. We will review the keys to cosmetic skin closure -atraumatic handling of the skin, no tension on the skin edges, perfectly apposed skin edges both vertically and horizontally, and consistent, properly tensioned skin sutures. Technique flaws that cause intradermal knot exposure will be discussed as well as easy to apply solutions to this common issue with buried continuous intradermal lines.

Communication Breakdown? How To Communicate Effectively With Clients and Patients
“Behavior Cases” are different… Most of our clients expect to make regular visits to their veterinarian for physical check- ups, vaccinations, dental exams, routine surgeries [spay, neuter] – and, depending on the breed, other possible “expected” reasons – e.g., back surgery for a Dachshund or French Bulldog, ear infections for Cocker Spaniels, etc. With the vast majority of these issues, the patient is presented to the veterinarian, a diagnosis is made, treatment is given, and the patient responds and recovers. Not necessarily so with “behavior cases”. To put it into perspective: not one of my – or your – behavior clients have the pet that they signed on for… This makes for an entirely different way to address and treat these pets. This lecture will address behavior cases – how and why they are different and what YOU can do to help.

Aberdeen Knots: Technique and Uses
In this presentation, the versatile Aberdeen knot will be described and illustrated. In both the veterinary and human surgical disciplines, this knot has regained popularity due to its readily adoptable technique, small knot size, relative knot security, and suture economy. Aberdeen knots are strong knots used when you are attempting to knot a single strand to a penultimate loop at the end of a continuous suture line. These knots have higher breaking strength and smaller volume than standard square knots. I prefer this knot when ending a buried continuous intradermal line, since this knot is less than half the volume of a four-throw square knot, and there is only one strand extending from the knot when it is completed. This strand connected to the needle is easily passed down close to the knot and out through adjacent skin and pulled taught to better bury the knot in the subcutaneous space. For use as the intradermal knot ONLY, it is acceptable to use two throws (I call hitches) and one turn to complete the knot. In more critical lines such as a continuous line in the linea alba, use 4-5 hitches and a single turn.

Steps for Mitigating Risk and Improving Outcomes for Exotic Mammal Anesthesia
Anesthetic risk is perceived as higher in exotic species than traditional pet species, and some evidence confirms this; however, for most patient groups, risk is still below 5%. Principles used to mitigate risk in canine/feline patients are applicable for exotic species; these include multi-model or balanced anesthesia and analgesia, and optimal surgical support.

Still #1 for a Reason: Feline House Soiling - Yuck!
Still one of the most common feline behavior problems presented to general practice veterinarians as well as behavior specialists, it is a conservative estimate that at least 10% of pet cats at some time exhibit an elimination behavior problem. “Undesirable” elimination and/or urine marking is associated with the highest risk of relinquishment of pet cats to an animal shelter – so it is imperative that we know how to treat these problems! This lecture will cover the more common treatments for urinating and/or defecating outsider of the litter box – especially litter box and litter considerations. For the urine marking cat, we’ll discuss environmental modification along with the typical use of anxiolytic medication. Speaker(s): Terry M. Curtis

Adversary to Ally: Harnessing Happy Hormones to Connect With Difficult People
From cranky clients to team members in a bad mood, in veterinary medicine, we routinely encounter difficult interpersonal situations. Pushed to our edge with the stress of our daily work it can feel near impossible to respond to these situations (and people) productively. But there’s good news! Every human being – and, by extension, every veterinary professional – has a superpower that, when used, can give us (and them) the boost we need to connect and solve problems, together. In this session, you’ll learn about the Brain Bank, our natural brain chemistry superpowers, and simple evidence-based tools to connect with difficult people.

Update on Canine Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a common disease in large breed dogs. Many breeds are predisposed to DCM, and the manifestations in each breed can differ. Common problems can include dyspnea due to congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias causing syncope or weakness, and sudden death. Diagnostic tests and common therapies will be presented. The diagnosis and management of diet associated dilated cardiomyopathy, a potentially reversible or partly reversible form of the disease, will also be presented.

Starting Your Euthanasia Practice: Lessons Learned From the Ground Up
As more pet owners learn about the possibility of in-home end-of-life care, mobile hospice and euthanasia is becoming an increasingly high-demand sector of the veterinary field. Mobile care is easier on ailing pets, and families appreciate being able to say goodbye in their own homes, and on their own terms. It takes a special kind of veterinarian—one with deep compassion, empathy, patience, and understanding—to deliver this type of care, but those who do find special meaning in their work as well as a better work life balance. But should you simply join an established practice, or should you start your own? Dr. McVety, who both started her own practice and now runs a practice that employs doctors, will give an in-depth presentation of the pros and cons of both approaches.

Functional Rehabilitation Assessment - What Stance, Posture, and Functional Tests Can Tell Us
Combined with obtaining a thorough history, performing a complete assessment is a critical step in evaluating the rehabilitation patient prior to formulating a diagnostic or treatment plan. In conjunction with a thorough hands-on physical examination when the patient is amenable or by itself when a patient is not tolerant of physical contact, a visual assessment of stance and posture can clue the practitioner in to areas of injury, pain, and weakness. Functional mobility tests can further identify areas of pain or weakness and serve as serial outcome measures following initiation of a therapeutic rehabilitation plan.

Safe to Soar: The Secret Sauce of Highly Effective Team
A team's capacity for reaching toward their highest potential is supported or depleted by the environment in which they work. While the nature of the work in veterinary medicine is often out of our control, the culture of a team can be crafted to support the individual and organization’s wellbeing and performance. At the foundation of this is psychological safety. Decades of study by researchers such as Harvard Business School leadership professor, Dr. Amy Edmondson, and organizations such as Microsoft and Google have shown psychological safety to be the #1 factor differentiating happy, effective teams from those that are languishing. But what is psychological safety? And how can it be cultivated in veterinary teams? Attendees will learn about the team phenomenon of psychological safety including what it is and is not. We’ll explore how it impacts team wellbeing and performance and discover evidence-based tools and practices for cultivating it in your hospital.

Which Is It and Does It Matter? Departure/Separation/Confinement Anxiety
Dogs [and cats] may experience distress and engage in problem behaviors related to the absence of family members. In some pets, especially dogs, it’s the departure routine that causes the most anxiety. Many dogs are “okay” if they find themselves alone – but it’s the departure routine, watching their primary attachment figure[s] leave – that causes them to panic. Common behaviors seen in dogs with departure/separation anxiety are destruction, vocalization, and elimination, and tend to occur within the first 30 minutes after departure. For dogs with confinement anxiety, they CANNOT be crated or confined. It’s very often the confinement that causes the most panic… In cats, common separation-related behaviors include inappropriate elimination – urinating outside of the box and/or marking, and over-grooming. For both dogs and cats, treatment typically involves behavioral modification, environmental modification, and often the use of one or a combination of anxiolytic medications. Speaker(s): Terry M.

The Timeless Art of Euthanasia
The euthanasia appointment is unparalleled in emotion and sentiment. There are few things in veterinary medicine, or life moreover, that require as many outward displays of empathy, compassion, and commiseration from a doctor. The tone of voice, delivery of words, bedside manner with both patient and client, and the medical procedure itself become a delicate dance around death that doctor and staff should carefully choreograph and continually improve.

Common Injuries in Sporting Dogs
Injuries are common in sporting dogs. However, research is lacking on the prevalence, types of injuries and risk factors for injury for most companion dog sports. The largest proportion of dog sport research exists for the sports of greyhound racing and endurance sled dog racing. There is also a large body of research evaluating injuries in working and military dogs. However, little is known about the increasingly popular companion dog sports. The majority of the research available on companion dog sports is based on retrospective, owner-based surveys which have many inherent limitations. The purpose of this discussion is to recognize the physical demands required for the various canine companion sports, review the most common injuries associated with different dog sports, and discuss the possible risk factors associated with injury in canine athletes.

Navigating Behavioral Euthanasia
Making the decision to euthanize a dog or cat for aggression can be ethically challenging, Quality of Life is about physical and mental health and animals that are extremely fearful or anxious and show aggressive behavior are ill. They have a poor quality of life because they cannot be trusted to have social interactions with people or other animals and may need to be kept in inappropriate housing. The key to a smooth and safe euthanasia for these patients is pre-planning and communication with the owner. Pre-visit oral drugs starting the day before the appointment are helpful and can be given by the owner. Additional sedation is usually required prior to euthanasia and this may involve more oral drugs or if the patient can be managed safely or a muzzle placed, injectable drugs. Owners should be allowed time with the pet when it is safely sedated or anesthetized before proceeding to euthanasia.

They’re Called Behavior Myths for a Reason!
Inter-Dog Aggression can be status-related, fear-motivated, arousal-related, possessive, protective, territorial, redirected, and/or predatory. The most common presentation is fighting between household dogs and is typically, the result of some “communication breakdown”. In those cases it is important to determine what each dog is saying to each other and work on repairing the relationship. There are also dogs that have “issues” with non-household dogs, which may be secondary to an aversive event (e.g. attacked by a dog as a puppy). Some cases are clearly territorial – where the aggressive dog is fine with other dogs when it is off its property, or the result of being leashed. Often, however, the cases are more subtle – especially when there’s an age, medical, and/or cognitive component involved. All of these will be discussed and treatment options presented.

Pericardial Disease
Pericardial disease is one of the more common emergencies at our hospital, and management can be challenging. Echocardiography plays an important role in both establishing a diagnosis of pericardial effusion and searching for underlying causes of the problem. Treatment typically involves pericardiocentesis as well as treatment directed at the underlying cause. Common causes and specific treatment approaches will be presented.

Non-Surgical Management of Injuries in Sporting Dogs
The majority of injuries in sporting dogs are soft tissue injuries. With the exception of some specific pathologies or severe cases, most of the soft tissue injuries are managed non-surgically. The types of injuries seen in sporting dogs depends on the sport, but soft tissue injuries of the shoulder, carpus, iliopsoas and stifle are common. A number of non-surgical treatment modalities are available, but many lack substantial evidence for their use in veterinary medicine, particularly for canine use. Treatment modalities include orthobiologics, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, photobiomodulation therapy, manual therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, exercise therapy, among others. The purpose of this discussion is to describe the various non-surgical treatment options for soft tissue injuries and the mechanisms of action for each, to review the current evidence regarding each of the treatment modalities in relation to soft tissue injuries and to discuss how the different modalities can be integrated into treatment plans for specific soft tissue injuries.

Discerning Orthopedic vs. Neurologic Causes of Difficulty Walking
While we watch dogs and cats walk nearly every day, we do not always consciously evaluate their ambulation in the clinic. Gait evaluation is of critical importance in evaluation of patients with orthopedic and neurologic disease. In order to discern an abnormal gait and the likely underlying disease process, normal gaits must be reviewed and be familiar to the evaluator. We will discuss components of normal gait followed by tips and tricks in discerning orthopedic and neurologic gait abnormalities.

Approach To Congestive Heart Failure Management
The first step in management of congestive heart failure is establishing an accurate diagnosis. Once CHF is documented, management includes a combination of medications, diet, and moderation of exercise. Drug therapies can cause improvement in clinical signs and survival time, but all medications have potential for side effect, and a review of successful use of these drugs will be discussed. Some advanced heart failure approaches will also be presented.

The Art of Helping Families Assess Quality of Life and Make End of Life Decisions
Evaluating the quality of life of a beloved pet in the face of euthanasia entails a nuanced equilibrium between navigating client emotions, disease advancement, and the pet's contentment. These pivotal factors don't always align seamlessly, underscoring the responsibility of the veterinary professional team to skillfully harmonize and juggle the interests of all parties alongside the inherent biological processes. Profound insight into shared patterns among individuals and their pets facilitates a more precise recognition of their requirements, the resolution of their anxieties, and the determination of an outcome that optimally benefits everyone concerned.

Strength and Conditioning for the Sporting Dog
With injuries being common in sporting dogs, and with the increased competitiveness of many of the companion canine sports, there is much demand for information regarding techniques for injury prevention and performance enhancement. One recent study surveyed agility dog owners regarding their top priorities for research and found that physical conditioning for injury prevention was one of the highest ranked concerns. However, this is an area in canine sports medicine that is significantly lacking. We, therefore, often extrapolate information from human and equine medicine, which may or may not be accurate regarding dogs or dog sports. Appropriate sport-specific strength and conditioning has been shown to be one of the most effective ways to prevent injury in human athletes. It is fairly safe to assume that the same would be true for our canine athletes. The goal of this discussion is to provide the foundational principles and framework for the design of sport conditioning programs in canine athletes.

By 2021 they had risen to number 2, and in the spring of 2023, they officially became the most popular AKC breed. This is not unique to the United States and a similar trend has been seen abroad. The rise in breed popularity has been accompanied by several other trends; increased cost of veterinary healthcare, increased cost and popularity of pet insurance, influence of social media, and increased online presence of celebrity pets. We will discuss factors contributing to breed popularity, common diseases in the breed and recommended client education associated with responsible ownership.

Rethinking Old Drugs: The Role of Ketamine and Acetaminophen in Managing Chronic Pain
Maladaptive (chronic) pain results from many causes including osteoarthritis, cancer, peripheral and central nervous system damage, and is often challenging to treat with conventional analgesics. Two “old” drugs are being reinvestigated as additions to our chronic pain management toolbox, one is acetaminophen (for dogs only) which has several unique modes of action that are different form traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. The other is the dissociative anesthetic ketamine which targets the NMDA receptor in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord and appears to be effective at subanesthetic doses.

The Heart of the Matter: Cardiac Nursing
The heart is a complex organ which when working perfectly, undergoes a series of events which produces a contraction roughly 100 times per minute. This process involves physiology, electrical conduction and mechanical actions within the heart. A defect in any part of the process can produce potentially fatal consequences. In this lecture we will discuss the “normal heart” and then look at the “abnormal heart” through abnormal auscultations, ECG rhythms, and echocardiograms. We will also discuss common nursing techniques for cardiac patients.

What Makes Dogs Tick: The Impact of Evolution and Domestication on Their Genes and the Human-Animal Bond
Dogs and humans have co-evolved over many millennia in a mutualistic relationship. The close bond humans developed with dogs is evident in the archeological record dating back at least 14,000 years. As these two species evolved together, they both adapted to their environments and lifestyles. Genes involved in digestion, neurological processes, and even diseases like cancer show parallel evolutionary changes in both dogs and humans. This presentation will discuss the fascinating evolutionary history of “man’s best friend” and how their genetic adaptations have altered key aspects of the species impacting everything from the human-animal bond to nutrition to disease predispositions. Understanding the unique physical and psychological needs of dogs can improve our ability to care for and bond with them.

Current Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Mitral Valve Disease in Dogs
Mitral valve disease in dogs is a degenerative process associated with aging that is particularly common in small breed dogs, with progressive stages that span from the dog at risk, to subclinical disease, to heart failure and death. Current management of mitral valve disease is guided by consensus panel guidelines and recent randomized trials of therapy, but applying consensus recommendations and keeping up to date with current literature can be challenging in daily practice. This session briefly reviews the progression of mitral valve disease across a dog’s lifespan, focusing on a diagnostic approach for the primary care veterinarian to correctly identify these stages. Then, the recommended treatment for each stage is considered, again emphasizing clinical strategies for the general practitioner. The attendee will learn practical clinical approaches to the management of mitral valve disease in dogs that are based upon current science.

How to Interpret Your Surgical Tumor Biopsy Reports
This session will provides tips for the veterinary practitioner for interpreting surgical tumor biopsy reports, with a focus on skin tumors. We will discuss the various aspects of a biopsy report and why it is important to make sure each component is present. You will learn why understanding how the specimen you submitted was trimmed and how margins were evaluated is vital to your confidence in the findings. You will learn to ‘read between the lines” to better gauge the pathologist’s confidence level in the diagnosis. We will conclude by touching upon the various additional diagnostic and prognostic tools (e.g. immunohistochemical markers, special stains, tumor panels, PCR, and Next Generation Sequencing) that are often recommended for surgical tumor biopsy cases and why they are important.

Sedation Secrets: A Veterinary Practitioner’s Toolkit (Dechra) - Breakfast Session
Ensuring optimal patient care often necessitates the use of sedation, despite its inherent challenges. Sedatives are commonly administered to alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress, as well as to facilitate procedures, a practice pivotal for both patient and staff safety. The selection of appropriate drugs and dosages varies based on the clinician's judgment and the patient's needs, encompassing factors such as the desired level of sedation, expected duration, and pain intensity. Appropriate preparation, including the utilization of pre-visit pharmaceuticals when applicable, alongside strategies for preventing and managing adverse effects, contributes to achieving successful outcomes. Effective communication with pet owners, particularly regarding potential risks and post-sedation effects, remains integral to positive sedation experiences for all involved. This presentation will explore considerations before, during, and after sedation, offering practical pearls to overcome the pitfalls in sedating veterinary patients.

Recommended Approach To Older Dogs With Heart Murmurs When Echocardiography Is Not an Option
This session will focus on helping the primary care clinician determine the clinical relevance of a heart murmur in older dogs with presumed myxomatous (degenerative) mitral valve disease. It will discuss treatment recommendations for asymptomatic dogs (i.e., starting a cardiac medication such as pimobendan) based on thoracic radiographic findings, an NT-proBNP, or both. This session will also discuss when starting furosemide is most appropriate for dogs with clinical signs such as cough. Lastly, anesthetic risk in these patients will be discussed from a cardiologist’s perspective.

Pododermatitis in Poultry: Starting Off on the Right Foot with Causes and Treatment
Pododermatitis (aka “bumble foot”) is a degenerative, inflammatory condition affecting the plantar surfaces of the foot. It is a common disease of captive avian species and occurs less frequently in wild birds. Heavy bodies birds, including some poultry (eg: chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks), are at increased risk of development of pododermatitis. This lecture will discuss the pathogenesis and risk factors for development of avian pododermatitis. A common 5-grade classification scheme will be reviewed, along with common clinical symptoms of this condition. Recommended diagnostics testing and both medical and surgical treatment options will be discussed. Finally, we will discuss tips for prevention of pododermatitis in poultry.

Medical Errors: An Ounce of Prevention
Everyone practicing in veterinary medicine is likely to make an error (or many) in their careers. The errors may be subtle or even unnoticed, or they could result in the death of a patient. What are some strategies we can employ to prevent medical errors? How do we deal with medical errors when they happen? Once one occurs, what steps are necessary to ensure they do not happen again? All this and more will be discussed in this lecture, with a focus on errors related medication and treatment administration.

The Evolution of Veterinary Drug Compounding: Where Are We Now and What Should You Know?
The path followed by veterinary compounding has been circuitous and often difficult to follow. This has led to misunderstanding – and potential misuse. While a compounded animal drug can be critically important to some patients, it nonetheless can increases the risk of adversity. This session will focus on the role that compounding of animal drugs should have in the provision of safe and effective drug therapy. Presented by: Boehringer Ingelheim Speaker(s): Dawn Boothe

The 10 Minute Smeakopexy: Open Gastropexy Technique
Gastropexy for treatment of Gastric Dilatation Volvulus (GDV) is often performed as an emergency procedure, therefore, an ideal method for gastropexy should be quick, safe and easy to perform. This presentation presents an incisional gastropexy technique designed to be readily performed by a surgeon without assistance for treatment of acute GDV and to prevent this condition. Like other successful permanent gastropexy techniques, this method apposes incised surfaces of the right abdominal wall and pyloric antrum. Illustrated technical details are included that allow the surgeon to readily create these incised surfaces while avoiding potential complications such as inadvertent perforation of the gastric mucosa or diaphragm. In addition, standard gastropexy incision sites are described and shown to help prevent gastric malpositioning or outflow obstruction following surgery.

Communication Skills That Matter for Veterinary Nurses/Techs
Everybody talks but do they really communicate? It is often assumed that the ability to ‘talk to people’ is a natural talent. Communication skills are not inherent, in fact, are a set of skills that can be learned and applied effectively. Anyone can and should learn to communicate better. Like all learned competencies, communication skills must be identified, applied and practiced! When you truly communicate you create dialogue and reach a shared meaning or understanding. This session will look at the foundational communication skills, especially as they relate to veterinary technicians and their everyday practice and interpersonal relationships. These skills lead to having courageous conversations with the intent to increase utilization of the veterinary technician.

How to Create Secure Ligations: Review Your Knot Options
Ligation involves the use of encircling suture material and a knot, called a ligature, to tightly occlude blood vessels in surgery. Despite the introduction of newer electrosealing devices for use in open and minimally invasive surgery now available to veterinarians for large vessel hemostasis, ligatures are still considered the gold standard method in most small animal practices to achieve hemostasis. Ligation of solitary vessels, or multiple vessels within a pedicle (mass ligation) is used virtually every day in practice during ovariohysterectomy, castration, amputation, splenectomy, and lobectomies; therefore, creating secure ligations is one of the most critical life-saving steps in most soft tissue surgeries. During this presentation the vital rules for creating consistently secure ligations will be described and illustrated. In addition, the qualities of a secure "friction" knot and both one and two-pass friction knots will be demonstrated and explained.

From Wildcat To Domestic Cat: Veterinary Perspectives on the Evolution of Cats
Domestic cats have been an important part of human society for thousands of years by initially helping humans successfully transition from hunter-gatherers to a more agrarian lifestyle. Cats as we know them today evolved from a felid species, Felis libyca libyca, in the desert regions of North Africa and the Near East which can shed some light on their interesting, and sometimes challenging, physiological characteristics. Since those early days, both cats and humans have adapted genetically and developed a close and unique relationship built on a premise of mutual benefits. While many cats no longer need to earn their living clearing pests, understanding their evolutionary history and genetic adaptations can help veterinarians improve our therapeutic and nutritional care of cats and support for the human-animal bond.

MC04: Which GI Diseases You May or May Not Be Able to Treat With Dietary Modification Alone
SOLD OUT
Food-responsive gastrointestinal conditions are the leading cause of chronic gastrointestinal signs in dogs and cats. Indeed, dietary modification including changes in type of protein, addition of fiber, amount of fat , food form, and/or feeding frequency generally results in improvement in 1/2 to 2/3 of dogs and cats presenting with chronic GI signs. In this interactive session, we will review case histories, physical exams, and diagnostic findings from canine and feline patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases to discuss which patients are most likely to respond to dietary intervention and what dietary intervention should be trialed based on the results of the initial workup. We will also discuss how to quickly acquire dietary history to pick the most logical next best diet for patients that fail the initial diet selection.

Demystifying Fiber: How To Approach Fiber-Responsive Diarrhea
Food-responsive enteropathies are the most common causes of enteropathies in the dog and cat, representing at least 1/2 to 2/3 of cases. Although dietary protein modification (i.e. novel or hydrolyzed protein diet) gets the most attention, provision of dietary fiber can also have dramatic benefits on the gastrointestinal tract and, depending on the case, may be all that is required to address diarrhea. Fibers are non-digestible, non-absorbable, largely carbohydrate, compounds. There are many different types of fiber, and sources of fiber can have several different characteristics including soluble or non-soluble, viscous or non-viscous, and rapidly fermentable, slowly fermentable, or non-fermentable. The benefits of fiber are numerous and can include desired effects on gastrointestinal transit time, luminal water absorption, laxative properties, stool bulking, production of short-chain fatty acids, satiety effect, and glycemic control. However, these benefits are all dependent on the source of fiber selected and require some knowledge about which fibers should be selected and when. In this seminar, we will discuss: (1) The characteristics and benefits of fiber, (2) which fibers help or hurt depending on the gastrointestinal signs and co-morbidities of the patient, and (3) how to navigate choosing the right dietary fiber for your canine and feline patient.

Early Chronic Kidney Disease in the Cat: How To Detect It and What To Do Next (IDEXX)
In this session we will discuss how the landscape of kidney disease in feline patients continues to change, and how we are now better equipped to address the underlying needs of our patients. New tools including Cystatin B, the first commercially available biomarker for detection of tubular injury, as well FGF-23 which can aid in the understanding of phosphorus dysregulation in cats with CKD allow for more nuanced diagnosis and treatment than reliance on traditional kidney biomarkers alone.

Nutrition is the Foundation: Feeding for Wellness
Veterinarians and pet parents both agree that “nutrition is the foundation” meaning nutrition is a basic and fundamental component of health for both dogs and cats. Supporting our patients with optimal nutrition starting at that first puppy/kitten visit is essential for proper growth, disease prevention and healthy aging. Sadly, over 60% of our companion dogs and cats are currently overweight and obese making overweight and obesity the most common nutritional disease state. Nutrition can be a difficult conversation for veterinarians, but our clients are looking for our guidance. Making a solid nutrition recommendation is essential for our patient’s health and longevity. This session will review nutritional needs during life stages, changes with the spay/neuter procedure, nutrition roadblocks and myths, and the veterinarian’s role in providing a solid and effective feeding recommendation as well as how to support clients after the recommendation is made.

Emotional Intelligence and Growth - What Is That All About
Emotional Intelligence (EI), often referred to Emotional Quotient (EQ), is a concept that encompasses the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and effectively use one’s own emotions and the emotions of others. It plays a crucial role in personal and professional success, as it influences how people interact with others, make decisions, manage stress, and navigate social situations. Emotional Intelligence is a skill in perceiving, understanding, and managing emotions and feelings. In the best sense of the meaning, it is the ability to understand your own emotions as well as others. Emotional intelligence is important to effectively manage behavior, to navigate social situations, and to make personal decisions. Emotional Intelligence is divided into two main categories that are defined as competencies: Personal and Social Competences. These two primary competencies are further sub-categorized into Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management. Many of us move through life making important decisions based on our current circumstances. We may perceive them as being beyond our ability to change, thus limiting our options and solutions. Taking time to reflect and examine why we decide to do what we do enables us to lead lives determined by our conscious intentions rather than circumstances alone. In summary, emotional intelligence is a powerful tool for personal growth. It enables individuals to develop essential life skills, manage emotions, foster positive relationships, and navigate life’s challenges more effectively. Cultivating emotional intelligence is an ongoing process, and it can contribute significantly to an individual’s overall development and well-being. IQ and EQ are distinct but complementary aspects of human intelligence, where IQ measures cognitive abilities and EQ is the measure of emotional and social abilities, and both play vital roles in an individual’s life.

Feline Perineal Urethrostomy, Polyps and Flaps Workshop
SOLD OUT
This half-day workshop will begin by teaching participants a novel approach to performing a feline perineal urethrostomy. Attendee's will learn how this approach can make it so much easier to visualize the pertinent regional anatomy and thus facilitate a more predictably successful outcome. Young cats are prone to nasopharyngeal, external ear canal and middle ear polyps. Polyp location dictates the surgeons approach. The lecture will discuss each approach and the lab will focus on removing middle ear polyps via a ventral bulla osteotomy. If you were ever thinking about learning one skin flap to incorporate into your practice, it would be the caudal superficial epigastric axial pattern flap. It is one of the most predictably successful flaps we have with the versatility to address wounds or defects in many anatomic locations. In this lab, we will outline the ‘rules’ that dictate flap success and perform the flap in the lab.

Work-Life Integration vs Balance - Which One Makes You Happier and Healthier
Work-life integration and work-life balance are two related concepts that address the relationship between a person’s personal and professional life. While they share some similarities, they have a great deal of differences. Work-life balance is defined as the idea that individuals should maintain a clear boundary between their work and personal lives, which means that neither work nor personal life encroaches on the other concept. The focus on work-life balance is on creating a clear separation between work and personal life, this often involves setting specific hours and taking time off to rest and relax. In work-life balance, the aim is to allocate a roughly equal amount of time to both work and personal life, creating a sense of equilibrium. Work-Life integration creates more synergies among all areas of our lives and puts us in control of how we allocate our time, basically it is the ability to blend what you need personally and professionally to make both areas successful. It recognizes that work and life are not always easily separable and that they can coexist more harmoniously. It is essential to recognize that work-life integration is a highly individualized concept and what works for one person may not work for another, using different tools and techniques will work for different people. It is essential to find the combination that suits your unique needs and circumstances, building a support system, staying organized, and making time for self-care is fundamental to maintaining work-life integration and managing stress. The key is to find a balance that allows you to lead a fulfilling life that combines your personal and professional aspirations while maintaining your overall positive well-being and mental health.

Bullying and Violence Within the Vet Team
Workplace bullying and lateral violence are two types of disruptive behaviors and have become an epidemic in all professions and in Veterinary Medicine, which has become such a part of our daily lives. Workplace bullying is defined as repeated health-harming mistreatment, offensive abusive, intimidating, malicious or insulting behaviors, or abuse of power conducted by an individual or group against one or more persons, who are considered the targets. Bullying will cause the target to feel upset, threatened, humiliated, vulnerable, devalued, along with many other emotions. Lateral violence are used to describe the physical, verbal, or emotional abuse of a team member from another team member, at the same level as the bully and target. This type of violence can be manifested in verbal and non-verbal behaviors, such as withholding information, sabotage, infighting, scapegoating, backstabbing, failure to respect privacy, and it goes on and on. These types of behavior are not supportive of a culture of safety and will decrease morale in any workplace situation. These disruptive behaviors interfere directly with effective communication among the teams and negatively impact the performance and productivity of all involved. This type of aggression is particularly difficult, unlike the typical forms of school-age bullying, workplace bullies often operate with the established rules and policies of their organization and society as a whole. During this interactive lecture, we will be discussing on what the bullying issue is, the concerns on the targets and others, how we can end bullying in the workplace and the legal and legislation acts around the healthy workplace and how we and others can get involved if they would like, and the workplace bullying stats and how do we become advocates for ourselves and others.

Ostrich Syndrome: Conflict Avoidance vs. Conflict Management
Leaders must learn to confront conflict pragmatically and with integrity. Conflict is inevitable, although often avoided, ignored, or mishandled. Oftentimes the avoidance of a volatile situation is considered conflict management. When ignored or handled poorly, conflict is divisive, erosive, and destructive. When managed effectively, conflict can lead to problem solving, better solutions, and stronger relationships. Effective conflict management centers around understanding and addressing conflict. Conflict is considered a characteristic of the human condition. Consequently, conflict is inevitable, especially in the vigorous area of healthcare; due to the hierarchical organization, complex care issues, interpersonal working conditions, and complex care dilemmas. This presentation will engage the participants in a journey toward effective conflict management and how each healthcare team member plays a role in managing conflict.

Depression and Suicide and How To Help Ourselves and Our Teams
Depression and suicide are intricate and deeply intertwined phenomena that continue to pose significant challenges to individuals, families, and society as a whole. During this interactive lecture, we will discuss the signs and symptoms of depression, how to recognize it in other team members and how to recognize it within ourselves. We need to help each other through this journey, we all are in this together. Helping and recognizing all these difficulties will help to stop this sad side of the veterinary profession. This lecture will provide an overview of the key aspects of depression and suicide, emphasizing their relationship and the importance of prevention and intervention strategies.
Depression is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, helplessness, a loss of interest or pleasure in normal daily activities. Depression is considered a widespread mental health disorder, affecting individuals of all ages, sexes, backgrounds, and socioeconomic statuses. Depression is a risk factor for many other medical disorders and while it is not synonymous with suicide, it is a potent risk factor for suicidal tendencies and other self-harm behaviors. Suicide is a deliberate act of ending one’s own life, it represents a tragic endpoint of suffering and despair and is one of the leading causes of death on a global scale. There are multiple factors that can contribute and lead to risk of suicide in individuals and depression being one of the most significant factors. Understanding the relationship between suicide and depression is paramount in developing effective intervention and prevention programs. In summary, depression and suicide are complex and inter-related public health challenges that demand compassion and empathy for all affected with the disorders. A comprehensive approach, combining early detection, effective treatment, and suicide prevention strategies is essential to reducing the burden of suffering and death associated with these mental disorders.

Rabies and Rabies Vaccination: Compliance and the "Must Know" Issues (Boehringer Ingelheim)
Rabies prevention in dogs and cats goes far beyond simply administering a core vaccine in accordance with state/local requirements. This interactive presentation will challenge your awareness of fundamental “must-know” issues governing rabies and rabies vaccination. Any veterinarian authorized to administer rabies vaccine in the United States accepts a number of public health—and legal—responsibilities, some of which may surprise you.

Stress Management for the Team
Stress is a common issue affecting all individuals worldwide, and it can have a significant impact on mental, emotional, and physical health. Stress management is crucial for all Veterinary team members as they often face a multitude of challenging and emotionally demanding and draining situations while providing the best care for all their patients and clients. Stress can be defined as the state produced when the body responds to any demand for adaptation or adjustment. Stress can be good and bad depending on the stressor associated with the stress. Stress can have both negative and positive effects on a person. There are three main stressors that we experience daily, they are: external, environmental, and internal and we can experience all of them or single one at any given time. The stressor can energize a person to achieve challenges and achievements that normally the individual may shy away from, but on the other hand, the stressor can make the individual feel overwhelmed and exhausted. There are three factors that determine whether the stressor is negative or positive, they are: choice, control, and consequences. Since stress is unavoidable, complete understanding of these concepts can help an individual transform adverse stressors into tolerable stressors. Individuals facing continuous stress should seek help and support and utilize available resources from a mental health professional, social support networks, and stress management techniques and tools, to reduce its impact on their well-being. Remember, stress is a normal part of the job, but how you manage it is critical to maintaining your health and well-being. And by implementing different strategies, you will be able to better cope with the unique challenges and demands of their profession while providing the best possible care for their patients and clients.

Taking a Stand-How the Profession and the Industry Can Make Big Changes to Animal Welfare.
It can be difficult for individuals in the veterinary profession and wider industry to feel like they can make a difference to animal welfare on a large scale. Many factors feed into this feeling. Time constraints, stress and pressures of work in practice, feeling like a tiny part of a huge organisation and also feeling overwhelmed because welfare issues seem so ingrained that they seem insurmountable. These frustrations are, I believe, a major cause of moral injury in veterinary professionals and contribute to the high burden of stress and mental wellbeing issues that we face. This presentation will look at three very different organisations with which I have worked – a global company, an individual vet and his practice and a rabbit welfare charity – and explore why they decided to act when they did, what steps they took and what significant improvements might come from those actions to benefit both animal welfare and the people working within those organisations.

Brainfood
Too often we separate clinical acumen from wellbeing, when in fact they are intrinsically linked. When our wellbeing is compromised, our ability to perform our clinical jobs declines. Similarly, when our clinical skills are lacking our overall wellbeing takes a hit. This session will show the links between the two & why both are essential to a healthy workplace.
Learning Objectives:
· Learn the foundations & how to build the framework for clinical success
· Understand the differences between training, coaching & teaching
· Recognize the essentiality of both clinical skills & wellbeing
· Work together to make the connection between the two

The Latest Buzz on Mosquitoes and Fluralaner
Transmission of heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) from infected to naïve dogs depends on successful mosquito feeding and survival. Recently performed studies at The University of Georgia and Oklahoma State University demonstrate the effects on mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) after feeding on blood from dogs given fluralaner. By 24 hours—but, at times, as early as 6 hours—after feeding on fluralaner-treated dogs, greater than 98% of mosquitoes were killed for a 12 week period. Meaning, survival of adult mosquitoes to a heartworm-infective age (~14 days) was significantly reduced if fed on fluralaner-treated blood. Additionally, egg production by fluralaner-fed mosquitoes was almost completely suppressed for the first 13 weeks following treatment. Altogether, these data suggest the reduction in the longevity and reproductive success of mosquitoes that take a bloodmeal from fluralaner-treated dogs may consequently reduce the local transmission of heartworm. Moreover, as heartworm prevalence increases across North America, these additional measures are warranted to limit spread by targeting the vector.

From Silence to Solutions: Urothelial Carcinoma in Dogs
Urothelial carcinoma, although rare, stands as the most prevalent cancer affecting the urinary tract in dogs, encompassing bladder and prostate cancer. Unfortunately, it often eludes detection until advanced stages, limiting treatment options and adversely affecting prognosis. Join us as we delve into the critical realm of early diagnosis for this challenging canine cancer, shedding light on the new non-invasive free-catch urine test capable of detecting the BRAF mutation associated with urothelial carcinoma. We will discuss strategies for identifying the disease's early signs and those who may be at heightened risk, underscoring the paramount importance of early detection in enhancing patient outcomes. Our presentation will not only explore early diagnosis but also highlight the latest breakthroughs in urothelial carcinoma treatment and management. We'll introduce a novel supplement with the potential to support our patients and improve their quality of life. This talk is designed to equip both seasoned veterinary professionals and aspiring students with the knowledge and tools to tackle urothelial carcinoma earlier and more effectively. Together, let's elevate our understanding of this complex disease, promote early detection, and strive for better outcomes in our furry companions.

Feline Diabetes Masterclass: Oral Hypoglycemics - An Overview (Boehringer Ingelheim) - Breakfast Session
Many cats with diabetes mellitus fit the profile for human type 2 DM, in which chronic insulin resistance results in inadequate insulin secretion. However, oral hypoglycemic agents have traditionally performed very poorly in feline diabetics. In this lecture, we will review the history of oral hypoglycemics in cats and introduce the SGLT-2 inhibitor drug class. This option represents a true paradigm shift in the management of feline diabetes.

Nuestra profesión y vida es como uno quiere explicarse... hay una resiliente, donde saboreamos más lo vivido, donde celebramos los triunfos, y otra, menos placentera, donde tendemos a cavilar sobre Momentos negativos o momentos de gran arrepentimiento, cada vez más cercanos. más al agotamiento, al desamparo aprendido y a las tristes tasas de suicidio que tiene nuestra profesión. Nuestra querida medicina veterinaria, como profesión en su conjunto, necesita centrarse más en la prevención que en la terapia reactiva. Ciertamente algunos compañeros requieren apoyo profesional específico en crisis y es importante que lo obtengan, sin embargo, la gran mayoría requiere herramientas para mantenerse alejados y no llegar al burnout como primer paso y la psicología positiva puede ayudarnos en esta tarea.

The Do’s and Dont’s of Using Fiber for GI Disease: A Case-Based Approach
A large body of evidence demonstrates the positive benefits with the use of dietary fiber for the management of acute and chronic enteropathies in dogs and cats including acute idiopathic diarrhea, chronic inflammatory enteropathy, and constipation. The benefits of fiber are numerous and can include desired effects on gastrointestinal transit time, luminal water absorption, laxative properties, stool bulking, production of short-chain fatty acids, satiety effect, and glycemic control. However, these benefits are all dependent on the source of fiber selected and require some knowledge about which fibers should be selected and when. In this presentation, we will discuss where fiber helped and where in hurt in cats and dogs with acute and chronic enteropathies.

The Role of Cultural Humility in Relationship-Centered Care
In this session, we delve into the pressing issue of underrepresentation within the veterinary profession and its profound impact on the experiences of pet parents from diverse backgrounds. We will explore the concept of cultural humility, a dynamic and introspective approach that goes beyond cultural competence. Rooted in ongoing self-awareness and a genuine willingness to learn, cultural humility emerges as the mainstay for fostering inclusivity and dismantling the barriers that impede effective veterinary care. As we unpack the application of cultural humility in veterinary medicine, we illuminate how it creates an environment where clients feel seen, heard, and respected, irrespective of their background. The session underscores the role of cultural humility in dismantling power imbalances, fostering authentic connections, and ultimately enhancing the trust and rapport between veterinarians and clients. Finally, we will explore the evolution toward Relationship-Centered Care (RCC) in veterinary practice. We will unravel the interconnected pillars of relationships between client-pet, pet-veterinarian, and veterinarian-client, emphasizing the pivotal role of these relationships in achieving positive health outcomes and patient satisfaction. Together, we will learn how cultural humility is the catalyst for relationship-centered care which transcends boundaries and fosters a profound connection between humans and their beloved animal companions.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Lessening the Phosphate Burden
The central role for total body phosphate retention will be emphasized in the pathophysiology of CKD-MBD (chronic kidney disease - mineral bone disorder). Phosphate retention either directly or indirectly accounts for many of the complications and progression of CKD. The relationship between circulating phosphate, ionized and total calcium, PTH, FGF23, and Klotho will be introduced. The ability to measure the master phosphatonin FGF23 has recently become available – this allows detection of total body phosphate retention even when the circulating phosphate is within the reference range. Dietary restriction of phosphate is the first step in reducing phosphate retention. Adding intestinal phosphate binders to the diet is the next step to gain targeted circulating phosphate. Intestinal phosphate binders (salts of aluminum, calcium, lanthanum, iron) will be compared for their efficacy in binding phosphate and their level of safety. Too much phosphorus restriction, especially in early IRIS CKD stages in cats, can create hypercalcemia that is damaging the kidneys. Presented by: Nutramax Laboratories Veterinary Sciences, Inc.

Super Simple Communication Skills to Guarantee Hospital Success and Client Compliance
Our clients trust us because they like us or have had positive interactions w us or our hospital. Generally speaking they don’t know much about what we actually do or our medical and surgical abilities. They take certain subconscious clues from our behavior, appearance and verbiage.

It’s Not Just BOAS and It’s Not Just Dogs-Breeding for Looks Can Never Prioritise Health.
Animal welfare issues vary widely across the world, depending on many cultural and socioeconomic factors. In the EU, UK and USA there is large-scale, preventable suffering being caused by breeding for extreme conformation, assisted fertility and legal, if unethical, mutilations. There has been much focus in recent years on brachycephaly and Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS), and quite rightly so, but it can detract from the wider issue. Brachycephalic dogs do not only suffer from BOAS, but multiple other disorders that may well remain if only the respiratory system is addressed. Dogs are not the only species affected by brachycephalism and brachycephalism is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the subject of extreme conformation. This presentation seeks to explore the suffering associated with these breed-related issues and look at ways that the various stakeholders may make a difference going forward.

The Ideal Consultation: Effective Communication Using Skills, Evidence-Based
Communicating in a consultation is not a gaming, today we have extensive scientific evidence that helps us communicate effectively with pet owners. There is a "choreography" to provide consultations at a level that is largely satisfactory for pet owners, patients and, logically, for veterinary doctors. We must understand that along with talking and inquiring about the health of pets, we must also incorporate the clients' perspective (feelings, ideas, expectations, thoughts), know the importance of our non-verbal language, how often we interrupt our clients, among so many aspects that we can improve... we must make an effort and be self-critical, giving ourselves the opportunity to unlearn and discover that we are not as good communicators as we suppose. The good news is that by training, yes exactly, "practicing", we can obtain the benefits of being better communicators. And what can we practice?...the Calgary-Cambridge guide. This shows us over 70 communication skills that can help us achieve the ideal consultation and help us improve the quality of life of our patients, that of their families and our personal wellbeing, professional satisfaction and business results.

The Impact of Extreme Conformation on Behavioural and Social Needs in Pets
Much attention has been given in recent years to the physical welfare impact of extreme conformation, particularly with regard to brachycephaly. However, little mention is made of the potential impact on the behavioural and social needs of pets due to their conformation. Whether we view the needs of animals from the point of view of the five domains or the five welfare needs, it is clear that the physical and mental needs are inextricably intertwined. It is arguable that the behavioural and social needs are harder to meet and less well understood by owners than simply meeting the physical needs. With this in mind, this presentation seeks to explore how body shape and physical appearance may negatively affect our pets’ metal wellbeing, on top of these existing problems with owner understanding.

Fight the Bite: Arthropod Feeding and Vector-Borne Disease Transmission (Ceva)
Common canine ectoparasites like fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes need to "bite" the dog's skin and consume blood to complete their life cycle. Although these arthropods employ different feeding strategies, all involve causing damage and irritation to the skin through their mouthparts and saliva. Blood feeding also creates risk of transmitting vector-borne pathogens, several of which cause severe and even fatal disease. In this discussion, we will explore how these ectoparasites feed and examine the timing of effectiveness of available control products throughout this intricate process. Optimal protection for dogs from these arthropods involves preventative measures taken before feeding begins, ensuring the highest level of canine comfort and health.

Veterinary Leadership Requires Veterinarians to Lead
Companies that embrace the veterinary professionals they wish to partner with in business will be most successful in quelling the problems plaguing the industry. Our industry is abuzz with leaders participating in roundtable enterprise risk assessments addressing the shortage of veterinary staff. Meanwhile, client and pet care needs increase, the competitive landscape evolves, an incursion of alternative options cannibalizes full-service veterinary care, and pressure on pharmaceutical revenue grows all while well-being and veterinary lives are at serious risk. Solutions range from more veterinary colleges and larger classes to new staff positions, telehealth, and online product sales. However, these discussions and perspectives rarely consider how nonveterinary leadership has affected the profession. Additionally, they fail to address how the lack of inclusion of veterinarians, women, and racial and ethnic minority individuals in prominent decision-making positions creates homologous midlevel management and nondiverse executive-level leadership in a rapidly changing profession that is prominently female, with diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) front and center. The key takeaway is that veterinarians are best recruited, led, and coached by other veterinarians

Hybrid Practice Ownership - Avenue to Practice Ownership
This has proven to be sustainable model and that provides the tools to help other DVMs fulfill their calling own and operate a veterinary practice but with help from a central office of support. For lack of a better term, we will call this a “HYBRID Model” of veterinary practice ownership. This is not a new phenomenon and has been in use for over 25 years but is now becoming mainstream. Financial investors in the veterinary community realize that having a DVM as a partner/owner ensures longevity of the team, better business outcomes and better return on investment for everyone involved. The difference between an employee and an owner—even a partial owner is profound. Veterinarians have been sharing ownership for decades.

Forgotten Feline Parasites: Heartworms and Lungworms
Heartworm disease, caused by Dirofilaria immitis, is a serious, often life-threatening parasitic infection in cats. While the condition is well known, there are several misperceptions concerning the risk, diagnosis, management, and need for prevention in our feline patients. Aelurostrongylus abstrusus, known as feline lungworm, is common in cats around the world. In infected cats, the nematodes reside in the bronchi and alveoli of the lungs. In this presentation, key insights related to both parasites will be shared and recent prevalence surveys will be examined.

Advocating for Others While Your Oxygen Mask is Mostly On
There is a lot going on. More importantly it all seems to be going on at the same time. Post covid, the lines between our work and personal lives seem to be blurring more everyday. "If you see something, say something" posters are found throughout schools and airports. The problem with these signs is that they do not tell you how to go about ‘saying something’. Many individuals fear “getting it wrong” and therefore remain silent. A culture of silence can be both damaging and damning. We will walk through the practical steps of saying something when you don’t know what to say. They include learning about the unique experiences of others, unlearning biases and finding out what would be most meaningful to the individual you wish to advocate for.
