CLIENTS AND THEIR CATS CRAVE CHIROPRACTIC CARE Sonya Brouillette, DVM, AVCA 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM | Room 108 Chiropractic care is a specialized field where clients and their cats can get relief of arthritis pain and regain mobility without medications that may be contraindicated with other health issues. We will discuss how beneficial chiropractic care can be and how it will bond your clients to your practice - even when you bring in an outside provider. We will also address owner compliance and how to make visits easier. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 _______________________________________ FASCIA - FRIEND OR FOE? LET'S MAKE IT OUR FRIEND! The full effect of fascia as a stand-alone tissue with its own set of unique characteristics and effects is just being fully realized. Let's talk about what it is, how it functions, and how we can help our patients with fascia restrictions. EFFECTIVE NEEDLING TECHNIQUES BEGIN WITH THE BASICS Delores Craig, DVM, CVA, CVCH, FAAVA 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM | Room 108 Make a diagnosis, select the points, and then place the needles. But is that enough? Multiple variables affect treatment success, such as the number of needles, needle manipulation, insertion, withdrawal, 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. Attendees should have basic knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Medical Acupuncturists may find some concepts applicable to their practice. Sonya Brouillette, DVM, AVCA 6:00 PM - 6:50 PM | Room 108 Make a diagnosis, select the points, and then place the needles. But is that enough? Creating a balanced and harmonized point prescription produces 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. In this lecture, we will discuss prescription balancing concepts. Attendees should have basic knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Medical Acupuncturists may find some concepts applicable to their practice. MULTI-TRACK/CROSS SPECIES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 _______________________________________ DISASTER PREPAREDNESS FOR VETERINARIANS AND TECHNICIANS - UNDERSTANDING ICS AND ORGANIZED RESPONSE Debra Zoran, DVM, DACVIM-SAIM 5:00 PM - 5:50 PM | Room 105 Disaster preparedness and response is a world unto itself that requires the participant to understand its language, rules of engagement and the many different ways members of the veterinary medical community can become involved. This session will introduce topic and provide the learner with the needed basic understanding of ICS, the importance of organized response and options for engagement. DISASTER RESPONSE FOR VETS AND TECHS: UNDERSTANDING RISK, AND PREPARING YOURSELF AND YOUR PRACTICE FOR THE UNTHINKABLE Debra Zoran, DVM, DACVIM-SAIM 6:00 PM - 6:50 PM | Room 105 Disaster response starts with preparing yourself, your practice and your community for the worst day. Being prepared requires understanding the risks around you, developing a plan, and ultimately implementing and practicing the plan. This session will provide the learner with basic skills of understanding what risk analysis is, how to develop a personal and practice plan, and why having those skills and plans in place are essential before taking the next step: responding to disaster. BALANCING YOUR POINT PRESCRIPTION Delores Craig, DVM, CVA, CVCH, FAAVA 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM | Room 108
SMALL RUMINANT RESPIRATORY DISEASE Jason Anton, DVM 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM | Room 204 A Small ruminant respiratory conditions are disease manifestations found throughout sheep and goat operations in the United States. These conditions are often categorized by location, etiology, and duration. We will discuss the common respiratory conditions and the implementation of a pragmatic clinical approach in preventing, diagnosing, and treating respiratory disease in our domesticated small ruminant species. SMALL RUMINANT OTHER DISEASES Jason Anton, DVM 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM | Room 204 A The perspective of ‘it’s just a goat or a sheep’ is an antiquated view that has been eclipsed in recent years by a booming small ruminant industry in the United States. The demand for competent veterinary care for our small ruminant species is greater than ever highlighting the need for the practitioner to be well versed in common disease processes in sheep and goats. We will discuss these diseases chronologically as they pertain to different life stages and how to develop a plan of preparedness with producers. INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 _______________________________________ INTRODUCTION TO ACUPUNCTURE AND TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE - PART 1 Nell Ostermeier, DVM, CVA, FAAVA 5:00 PM - 5:50 PM | Room 108 Acupuncture has been utilized for thousands of years to maintain homeostasis and regain balance in the face of disease. In modern times, the body of Western research around the efficacy and benefits of acupuncture is growing and provides much needed evidence to gain acceptance in the veterinary medical community. This presentation will cover some of the foundational concepts of the Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) model and how they relate to conventional medicine and research findings. Essentially, the goal is to translate TCM terminology and to highlight the benefits of TCM and acupuncture when integrated into treatment plans for veterinary patients. INTRODUCTION TO ACUPUNCTURE AND TRADITIONAL Acupuncture and the Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) Model can be applied to maintain homeostasis, modulate immune function and fend off pathogens or disease. This presentation explains pathogens from the TCM medical perspective and how they invade or develop, resulting in dysfunction and disease. Then, we will look at how TCM pathogens relate to conventional veterinary disease processes. Lastly, acupuncture and TCM strategies for supporting the immune system and regaining homeostasis in the face of dysfunction will be provided. YOU CRACK ME UP! WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE? CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM) - PART 2 Nell Ostermeier, DVM, CVA, FAAVA 6:00 PM - 6:50 PM | Room 108 Chiropractic is one of the few modalities in veterinary medicine where results are often immediate and can be realized within minutes of treatment. Chiropractic manipulation is beneficial in many conditions including degenerative joint diseases such as hip dysplasia and spondylosis; cervical instability; acute neck pain; intervertebral disk disease; autonomic nervous system problems such as urinary and fecal incontinence; musculoskeletal weakness or pain; and chronic back and neck pain. Offering your patients access to chiropractic care will improve patient quality of life which will lead to increased client satisfaction. Sonya Brouillette, DVM, AVCA 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM | Room 108
