In this session: Julia Albright, MA, DVM, DACVB, discusses common differentials and treatment plans, including management, medications, and behavior modification for common canine repetitive behaviors.
In this session: Do you have a fear of the emergency rabbit, bearded dragon, or parrot? Sarah Ozawa, DVM, Dipl. ACZM, goes over basic principles of triage and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in exotics/zoological companion animal (ZCA) species. You will gain information and tools to help you feel more comfortable handling initial triage in these species. Additionally, Dr. Ozawa discusses similarities (which are many!) and differences to CPR in ZCA species highlighting anatomic and physiologic differences between small mammals, reptiles, and birds.
In this session: Picture the scene—the door to the treatment room opens….a fireman in full gear walks in, carrying a cat in his arms, oxygen mask held to its face. This everyday hero has saved the patient from the fire, but now it’s up to you! Karen M. Roach, RVT, VTS (ECC) addresses the following: What damage can be caused from smoke inhalation and thermal burns? What can you expect to see? What do you monitor for? What will you be treating for? What are the chances you can save this patient?
In this session: The phrase “cats are not small dogs” is true in almost all aspects, including in their needs for anesthesia and acute pain management. Tamara Grubb, DVM, PhD, DACVAA, addresses specific approaches for feline anesthesia and controlling acute pain.
In this session: Anne Metzler, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVO, discusses ocular lesions can be clues to underlying systemic disease. On the flip side, systemic disease can result in ophthalmic pathology ranging from incidental to vision-threatening. Comprehensive physical and ophthalmic examination will lead to the most complete assessment of a patient’s health. Knowledge of ocular manifestations of systemic disease facilitates forming differential and definitive diagnoses, as well as support patient vision and ocular health.
In this session: Pippa Gibbons, BVetMed (Hons), MS, DACVIM (LA), MRCVS DipVetEd, discusses basic small ruminant medicine, herd management, and case work up.
