Crash, Boom, Bang! Protocols for Dogs with Sound Sensitivity

It is estimated that anywhere from one-third to two-thirds of dogs have noise aversions! If you saw 12 dogs in your hospital each day, four to eight of them are likely to develop noise sensitivities in their lifetime. Not only can a fear of sounds be physiologically and emotionally damaging for dogs, but it can also strain the human-animal relationship. In this session: Debbie Martin, LVT, VTS (Behavior), provides strategies for how to approach and prevent sound sensitivities, including teaching desired coping skills.

PsyMed: The Science Linking Psychological Stress and Medical Symptoms

It is well-known certain behavioral signs can identify chronic psychological stress that eventually may affect medical symptoms. This field is known as “PsyMed.” This lecture shows how identifying these behaviors is more effective than measuring cortisol. Rolan Tripp, DVM, CABC, takes a deep dive into stress-induced cell adhesion molecule disruption and introduces the PsyMed hypothesis as the connection between pet behavioral health and enjoyable longevity.

Keep the Beat: Anesthetic Considerations for Cardiac Disease

Stephanie Johnson, BAS, CVT, VTS (Anesthesia/Analgesia), (Dentistry), covers considerations for veterinary patients with co-existing cardiac diseases. We will cover anesthetic considerations and tips for patients with cardiac disease, focusing on concerns associated with specific cardiomyopathies. This discusses pharmacology in relation to cardiac disease as well as potential complications associated with anesthesia in these patients.

Intraoperative Fluid Therapy and the Hypotension Algorithm

Michelle Albino, LVT, VTS (Anesthesia/Analgesia), reviews the basics of intraoperative fluid therapy for general anesthesia and how to determine arterial blood pressure and cardiac output in anesthetized patients. Attendees will familiarize themselves with more novel fluid therapy recommendations and how they apply to a balance anesthesia approach utilizing an algorithm to treat intraoperative hypotension.
