CE DAYTIME SESSIONS
TREATMENT OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS Dawn Boothe, DVM, MS, PhD 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Hemisfair Ballroom 1 Urinary tract infections are among (in the speaker’s opinion) one of the most difficult infections to treat. Understanding the pathophysiology is critical to therapeutic success. This session will focus on applying the principles of antimicrobial stewardship to treating uncomplicated and complicated UTI’s, with a focus on fosfomycin.

As time permits, a focus on the role of cannabinonids in controlling pain in the face of the opioid epidemic will be emphasized. SUTURES, NEEDLES, AND KNOTS Suture materials are used daily in general practice. However, many of the details of what each suture is designed for are forgotten. Selecting the appropriate suture material depends on the tissue being sutured and a review of commonly used suture materials is provided. REVIEW OF SURGICAL DRAINS Michael McFadden, DVM, DACVS-SA 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Room 214 D Indications, types, and complications of surgical drains will be reviewed as well as placement of drains, management of the drains and appropriate time for removal will be covered.

CHRONIC HEPATIC DISEASE OF DOGS: TREATABLE IF YOU DIAGNOSE IT IN TIME Michael Willard, DVM, DACVIM 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Hemisfair Ballroom 2 This will be a case-based discussion of chronic hepatic disease in dogs. Diagnostic pitfalls will be considered. Ultrasound, fine needle aspirate cytology and biopsy will be discussed in detail. Causes of chronic hepatitis as well as best treatment options will be discussed. Chronic hepatitis is the most common hepatic disease of dogs and can be controlled/cured if diagnosed in time. However, there are other hepatic diseases that mimic Michael McFadden, DVM, DACVS-SA 4:30 PM - 5:20 PM | Room 214 D Michael McFadden, DVM, DACVS-SA 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Room 214 D
head trauma patients is critical in producing optimal survival and functionality. Head trauma is most often associated with vehicular accidents, but also can result from projectiles, falls, bite wounds, and other forms of blunt trauma. The strongest trend in initial management includes assessment with the Small Animal Coma Scale (SACS) and establishing / maintaining adequate systemic perfusion and oxygenation. WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW: BASICS OF HEARTWORM BIOLOGY Clarke Atkins, DVM, Diplomate, ACVIM (Internal Medicine, Cardiology) 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Room 214 A American Heartworm Society – Heartworm University – This program, designed by the American Heartworm Society, is aimed at the practicing veterinarian, maintaining a strong practical clinical emphasis. The course is comprehensive but varies through the day making points using case examples, videos, new research data, and interactive technology. The interactive nature allows the day to be tailored around the specific needs of each audience. A strong effort is put forth by the cardiologists teaching the course to make all aspects relevant to those who see heartworms daily and those who want to learn more about a disease that is less common in their region. Topics to be covered while addressing specific cases and client/veterinarian questions will include: history and pathophysiology of heartworm disease, disease differences in dogs and cats, diagnostics and testing, heartworm-positive pet treatment protocols and new knowledge and controversy in treatment options, preventative care and resistance.

He will describe in detail how loose-control works and how to integrate it into your practice. His description will call on a published paper of 185 cats over a duration of 11 years. This is the longest-duration study and the largest N of any paper published on feline diabetes. PULMONARY PATTERNS AS THEY RELATE TO PULMONARY DISEASE Brian Poteet, MS, DVM, DACVR, DABSNM 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Hemisfair Ballroom 1 This lecture will be a review of radiographic pulmonary patterns and their distribution and how the recognition of these patterns can help you in the diagnosis pulmonary disease. NEURORADIOLOGY Brian Poteet, MS, DVM, DACVR, DABSNM 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Hemisfair Ballroom 1 This lecture will review the radiographic appearance of commonly seen neurologic diseases. We will review which radiographic positions are needed for such diseases and which diseases will likely require other imaging modalities, such as MRI or CT (and why). RADIOGRAPHIC SPECIAL PROCEDURES: IS ULTRASOUND ALWAYS NECESSARY? Brian Poteet, MS, DVM, DACVR, DABSNM 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Hemisfair Ballroom 1 Not every practice has ultrasound! This lecture will review the need for and how to properly perform and evaluate radiographic special procedures that are still performed in private practice, despite the availability of ultrasound, CT or MRI. ORTHOPEDIC DIAGNOSIS: RADIOGRAPHIC DIAGNOSIS OF COMMON ORTHOPEDIC DISEASES IN DOGS AND CATS Brian Poteet, MS, DVM, DACVR, DABSNM 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Hemisfair Ballroom 1 This lecture will review how to make a definitive radiographic diagnosis of common orthopedic diseases in dogs and cats. We will also discuss the use of CT and MRI in these diseases and when these alternate modalities will likely be needed. LOCALIZATION OF NEUROLOGIC LESIONS: “THE NEURO EXAM” Andy Shores, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVIM (Neuro) 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Hemisfair Ballroom 3 A complete, logical and systematic approach to evaluation of the nervous system is often necessary in the companion animal practice; however, many consider it a daunting task. The approach presented here gives the practitioner a step-by-step approach, breaking it into groups that allow localization and a thorough list of differentials to consider. This lecture will show demonstrations of the examination techniques including many examples of abnormal and normal responses and eliminates the need to memorize a lot of the detailed neuroanatomy. INTERVERTEBRAL DISK DISEASE OR NOT? AN OVERVIEW OF COMMON AND NOT SO COMMON SPINAL DISORDERS IN SMALL ANIMALS Andy Shores, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVIM (Neuro) 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Hemisfair Ballroom 3 Intervertebral disk (IVD) disease is by far the most common neurologic disorder seen in dogs; however, many other conditions can present in a similar manner. This lecture will review current concepts in the management of IVD disease and the differential diagnoses for spinal diseases in small animals including ANNPE, FCE, neoplasia, congenital anomalies, infections, and traumatic injuries. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES OF INTRACRANIAL DISEASE IN SMALL ANIMALS Andy Shores, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVIM (Neuro) 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Hemisfair Ballroom 3 The development of intracranial disease may be acute or a slow progressive process. Understanding the conditions that precipitate intracranial diseases, the incidence of these in certain populations, and how to discuss these concerns with the owners can be helpful. This lecture will cover many of the intracranial diseases and when to refer these patients for advanced imaging. TBI – EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OF HEAD TRAUMA Andy Shores, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVIM (Neuro) 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Hemisfair Ballroom 3 The initial assessment and management of small animal
chronic hepatitis and they require other treatments. HEPATOBILIARY DISEASE OF DOGS AND CATS Michael Willard, DVM, DACVIM 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Hemisfair Ballroom 2
This is a case-based discussion of the more common diseases of the biliary tract of dogs and cats. These disorders can be very subtle in their presentation, and it requires some knowledge of them to be able to recognize the signs that indicate diagnostic tests to look for them. Infectious cholecystitis (which is far more common than most people realize), biliary tract obstruction, mucocoeles and gall bladder stones will be included in the discussion.
