CE DAYTIME SESSIONS
EVOLUTION OF BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT Kristina Bartley, B.Sc. M.Sc. CLABP 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Room 110 B Behavior management has evolved significantly since original implementation of USDA AWA requirements, and has become a specialty within the field of laboratory animal science. Industry accepted behavior management regulatory requirements and guidelines are not supported by formal curricula or resources for training and personnel who specialize in lab animal behavior management. The purpose of this lecture is to compare, contrast and highlight novel methods of behavior management and outcome measures to meet the expectations of the Animal Welfare Act and the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. The intended audience are veterinarians, enrichment coordinators, behaviorists and those invested in improving and evaluating behavior management procedures or promoting culture of care. As behavior management and our understanding of laboratory animal welfare evolves, it is becoming increasingly important to harmonize our knowledge and plan for consistent training of behavior professionals. As animal behavior is a critical measure of welfare, it can be challenging to evaluate on a consistent scale. This lecture will create an open dialogue with the research community to address this challenge. The American Association for Laboratory Animal Enrichment, combined with American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, provides a resources and training opportunities to improve and promote continued animal welfare science and current behavioral management techniques and evaluation methods.

PARASITES OF BIRDS, REPTILES, AND MAMMALS IN PRACTICE: SKIN, FECES AND BLOOD - PART 2 Natalie Antinoff, DVM, DABVP (Avian Practice) 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Room 110 A Part 2 of this 2-part lecture series will continue to cover parasites of birds, reptile and mammals that may be encountered in practice. It's important to recognize that parasites exist in multiple locations - SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 _______________________________________ THE CLINICAL PATHOLOGY OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE - HEMATOLOGY Francisco Conrado, DVM, MSc, DACVP 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Room 110 A This talk will equip you to rapidly identify common infectious organisms through hematological analysis. We'll cover microscopic characteristics for swift diagnosis and explore cutting-edge diagnostic techniques for deeper investigation. By the end, you'll have a stronger foundation in hematology- based infectious disease detection. THE CLINICAL PATHOLOGY OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE - CYTOLOGY Francisco Conrado, DVM, MSc, DACVP 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 110 A This lecture provides an overview and guide to identifying common infectious organisms through cytologic analysis of fine needle aspirates, fluids, skin, feces, and blood. Diagnosis, clinical significance, and treatment options will be discussed. and other samples. We'll cover characteristic microscopic features and explore advanced diagnostic techniques for rapid and accurate diagnosis, improving your ability to pinpoint infections. THE CYTOLOGY OF CANCER: DIAGNOSING NEOPLASIA IN YOUR PRACTICE Francisco Conrado, DVM, MSc, DACVP 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Room 110 A Cancer (neoplasia) is a major concern in veterinary medicine. Fortunately, in-house diagnostics can often lead to a rapid diagnosis. In this talk, we will explore the fundamentals of using cytology to identify cancer. We'll cover techniques like fine-needle aspiration, complete blood counts, and fluid evaluation, as well as their potential and limitations. Learn the key indicators of malignancy and how to confidently make a preliminary diagnosis in your practice. THE CYTOLOGY OF CANCER STAGING IN YOUR PRACTICE Leslie Sharkey, DVM, PhD, DACVP 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Room 110 A This session will emphasize a practical approach to cancer staging in primary care practice. We will review which tumors benefit from cytologic staging, how to approach the sample collection and interpretation, and how this impacts initial case management and client communications. By the end of this session, you should be able to make a diagnostic plan for your cancer patient, be able to pre-screen slides for diagnostic quality and make a preliminary assessment of the diagnostic material, and understand when further imaging studies and histopathology may be indicated.
URINARY TRACT DISEASE PART 1: THE CLINICAL CHEMISTRY OF URINARY TRACT DISORDERS Leslie Sharkey, DVM, PhD, DACVP 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Room 110 A This session will focus on an algorithmic approach to the classification of urinary tract disease. We will use a mechanistic approach to understand how to use basic serum biochemical testing to distinguish tubular disorders from glomerular disorders from mixed disorders and how those impact the selection of follow up testing that will define treatment options. We will explore the characteristics of the polyuric vs the oliguric/anuric stages of kidney injury, features of post-renal azotemia, and briefly review newly available tests of renal function. By the end of this session, you should have a more sophisticated approach to the interpretation of basic testing for urinary tract disease that will facilitate clear client communication and optimize further diagnostic and treatment decisions. URINARY TRACT DISEASE PART 2: CYTOLOGY OF THE URINARY TRACT Leslie Sharkey, DVM, PhD, DACVP 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Room 110 A In this session, we will review cytology of the kidney, bladder, and prostate. Urinary tract disease is extremely common in small animal practice and encompasses a variety of infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions, many of which are amenable to minimally invasive cytologic evaluation. This session will focus on the most common conditions, including renal lymphoma and carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, polyps, prostatic hyperplasia and neoplasia and bacterial infections of the urinary tract. After this session, you will have an appreciation of the indications for urinary tract cytology, the safety profile of sample collection, and the strengths and limitations of cytology as a diagnostic tool for evaluation of the most common lesions. COMPANION ANIMAL FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 _______________________________________ I CAN’T FEEL MY FACE WHEN I’M WITH YOU; LOCAL ANESTHESIA AND PAIN CONTROL FOR Local anesthesia is an important part of multimodal analgesic protocols in veterinary dentistry. When performed properly, local blocks allow us to turn down our gas inhalant, improve recovery, and reduced post-operative analgesic requirements. This lecture will discuss various local anesthetics, max doses, onset times and also, how and where to place these blocks. We will discuss local blocks and the importance of multimodal pain control. No procedure is complication free, so we will discuss those as well and how to manage them should they occur. Go beyond the NSAID to discover ways to improve pain relief for dental surgery. OH BABY! (TEETH); PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY FOR DOGS The oral examination is an important part of the physical examination of every patient. Even (and especially!) the energetic, wiggly puppies that come to our practice. Some conditions can be corrected at a young age if the problem is identified and treated early. Persistent deciduous teeth are a common concern. We know we need to remove them, but when? At what age should they be extracted? How do I extract them? What do I do if the root breaks? Malocclusions. With the explosion of designed breeds, we have been seen an uptick in malocclusions. We will discuss what is a normal bite and most common abnormalities. Which occlusions are painful and warrant treatment? Missing teeth, impacted teeth, distemper teeth .... and more! In this lecture, we will bite into common problems you might encounter in your juvenile canine patients and how you can treat the puppy, and educate the owner.
