understanding of TCVM history, concepts, and terms. TCVM has many words that are unfamiliar to the general practitioner and therefore cause anxiety due to the unknown. This is similar to the first few days or even weeks in our veterinary school courses, such as anatomy or anesthesia. TCVM EXAMINATION WHERE EAST AND WEST MEET Lorrie Hale, DVM, MS, CTCVMP, GCTHCP, CTPEP, CVA, CVTP, CVCH, CVFT 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM | Room 210 AB The TCVM exam is more expansive than an allopathic examination. Incorporating tongue, pulse, body temperature, and skin condition into the examination process enhances the findings and improves the treatment. It is also vital to the TCVM pattern development and treatment plan. The differences will be discussed and demonstrated to give an overview. YES! ACUPUNCTURE CAN BE USED IN ALL SPECIES*: SELECT CASES FROM OTHER “INE” SPECIES BESIDES FELINE AND CANINE Lorrie Hale, DVM, MS, CTCVMP, GCTHCP, CTPEP, CVA, CVTP, CVCH, CVFT 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM | Room 210 AB Many clients are surprised when they hear that acupuncture is useful with canines or felines. However, they are outright amazed when they are informed that any animal can receive TCVM therapy. This presentation will cover cases in other species. Examples are bovine, equine, ovine, avian, and reptile. *Have not figured out how to treat crickets and bees yet*. MULTI-TRACK/CROSS SPECIES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 VACCINES IN AN ANTI-VACCINE WORLD Jay Tischendorf, DVM, HAB and Fear Free Certified 6:00 PM - 6:50 PM | Room 211 2019 marked the end of “The Decade of the Vaccine”, a program launched by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and WHO. This occasion was also marked by the greatest global anti- vaccine sentiment ever. Vaccines are critical but controversial medical tools in the eternal fight against infectious agents. This presentation examines the history of vaccines and their impact on human and animal health. It also illuminates the world of vaccine skepticism and hesitancy, providing perspectives on why these dangerous attitudes develop and persist, and how medical professionals might deal with those who hold such sentiments. Sponsor: VACCINES IN AN ANTI-VACCINE WORLD CONT. Jay Tischendorf, DVM, HAB and Fear Free Certified 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM | Room 211 2019 quietly and inauspiciously marked the end of “The Decade of the Vaccine”, a program launched by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and WHO. 2019 was also marked by the greatest global anti-vaccine sentiment ever. Vaccines are critical but controversial medical tools in the eternal fight against infectious agents. Yet today concern over their safety and value is skyrocketing. This 2-part presentation examines the history of vaccines and their impact on human and animal health. It also illuminates the world of vaccine skepticism and hesitancy, providing perspectives on why these dangerous attitudes develop and persist, and how medical professionals might deal with those who hold such sentiments. Sponsor: THEY SUCK – AN UPDATE ON KISSING BUGS AND CHAGA’S DISEASE Jay Tischendorf, DVM, HAB and Fear Free Certified 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM | Room 211 Awareness of human and animal American trypanosomiasis, or Chaga’s disease, is increasing in the USA. This problematic vector- borne disease is widespread globally. As the extent and intensity of investigations into the disease increase in the US, its range and our understanding of its impact grow. Chaga’s disease in
North American dogs has been called the “heartworm of the new millennium”. Treatment options for people or pets are negligible and no vaccine for the debilitating and eventually fatal disease exists. This paper and presentation provide an update on what is known about this frightening but fascinating disease, and what the future holds in terms of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Sponsor: NON-TRADITIONAL/EXOTICS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 BEHAVIORAL TRAINING IN REPTILES Rob Coke, DVM, Dipl. ACZM, Dipl. ABVP (Reptile & Amphibian), CVA 6:00 PM - 6:50 PM | Room 208 This lecture will cover the different aspects of training tools used for creating and executing training routines that can be applied to our reptilian companions. Some example behaviors will be discussed and videos shown to display those. THINKING LIKE YOUR BIRD: UNDERSTANDING BASIC BIRD BEHAVIOR Sharman Hoppes, DVM, ABVP-Avian 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM | Room 208 This lecture will help you identify normal bird behavior and discuss ways to discourage and modify abnormal behavior in your companion parrot. Husbandry and nutritional factors affecting behavior will be discussed along with positive reinforcement training as a preventative. WHY RABBITS DO WHAT THEY DO: UNDERSTANDING RABBIT BEHAVIOR Sharman Hoppes, DVM, ABVP-Avian 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM | Room 208 This lecture will help you identify normal rabbit behavior and discuss ways to avoid and modify behavioral problems in your pet rabbit. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 PRACTICAL APPROACH TO SURGERY IN REPTILES Nicola Di Girolamo, DVM, MSc (EBHC), GP Cert (ExAP), PhD, DECZM (Herp) 6:00 PM - 6:50 PM | Room 208 There are several caveats that are associated with successful surgery in reptiles. We will discuss surgical protocols that will help achieving better outcomes during clinical practice. ATHEROSCLEROSIS AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN AVIAN PATIENTS Lauren Thielen, DVM 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM | Room 208 Cardiovascular disease in birds is an increasingly more common issue presenting to the avian clinic. Atherosclerosis is the most common cardiac lesion in psittacines, often as a result of long-term husbandry issues. This lecture will provide an overview of the different avian cardiovascular diseases, the diagnostic process, and the immediate and long-term treatment options. REPRODUCTIVE DISEASES OF FEMALE CHELONIANS Nicola Di Girolamo, DVM, MSc (EBHC), GP Cert (ExAP), PhD, DECZM (Herp) 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM | Room 208 Reproductive disease is extremely common in captive chelonians. In this lecture we will discuss the most efficient techniques to diagnose and treat chelonian disorders, including follicular stasis, egg binding and oviductal prolapse, among others. Current standards for surgical treatment will be also discussed in detail in order to make attendees able to cope with these disorders.
Otitis externa in cats is very frustrating for many reasons! This lecture will focus on taking on the challenges of feline otitis including difficulties using topical medications in cats, limited availability of labelled feline otic preparations, and chronic otitis. Diagnosing the primary causes of feline otitis and tricks for management will be discussed. Sponsor:
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 OPIOIDS AS ANALGESICS Dawn Boothe, DVM, MS, PhD 6:00 PM - 6:50 PM | Room 214 A
Given the opioid crisis and its impact on human medicine, a relook at opioids is prudent. This session will review the clinical pharmacology of these drugs as they are used in dogs and cats.
OPIOIDS AS ANALGESICS CONT. Dawn Boothe, DVM, MS, PhD 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM | Room 214 A
Given the opioid crisis and its impact on human medicine, a relook at opioids is prudent. This session will review the clinical pharmacology of these drugs as they are used in dogs and cats. NUTRACEUTICALS: WHERE ARE WE TODAY? Dawn Boothe, DVM, MS, PhD 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM | Room 214 A While the lack of regulatory oversite of nutraceuticals seemingly makes them more available, it also contributes to the challenges associated with their use. Evidence of quality, safety and efficacy will be addressed. AUTOTRANSFUSION & XENOTRANSFUSION: LIFE-SAVING ALTERNATIVES TO COMMON BLOOD PRODUCTS Virginie Wurlod, MSs, DACVECC, DECVECC 6:00 PM - 6:50 PM | Room 214 D Blood products are not always readily available and can be cost prohibiting. This session will review two alternative treatments to the use of common blood products: auto transfusion and xenotransfusion. Case examples will be used to present both treatment options. IMPLEMENTING A TRIAGE SYSTEM IN YOUR PRACTICE Virginie Wurlod, MSs, DACVECC, DECVECC 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM | Room 214 D Triage is the sorting of patients for treatment priority when resources are insufficient to treat all emergency patients simultaneously. An efficient and quick triage should be implemented on every patient presented to an emergency facility, to allow for rapid identification of the urgent problems and immediate treatment of potential life threatening conditions. This session will review the concept of triage, existing triage systems and how these systems can be implemented easily in any practice. HOW TO DIAGNOSE CANINE ANAPHYLAXIS IN YOUR EMERGENCY ROOM Virginie Wurlod, MSs, DACVECC, DECVECC 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM | Room 214 D Canine Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction with rapid onset.
