CE DAYTIME SESSIONS
BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY - CHEMICAL RESTRAINT FOR CANINE PATIENTS Meghan Herron, DVM, DACVB 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Ballroom B Fearful and fractious patients will benefit from chemical assistance both before and during their veterinary visits. This fourth session will discuss oral premedication options to reduce anxiety and to provide sedation for fearful and/or fractious dogs. Injectable chemical restraint protocols as far as drug choice, doses, and best means of administration will also be discussed. BANG, POP, BOOM! NOISE AND OTHER FEARS AND PHOBIAS IN DOGS Meghan Herron, DVM, DACVB 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Ballroom B From mild sensitivities to full-blown phobias, noise and other environmental fears can be barely noticeable in some dogs and life-crippling for others. Dogs can cause severe damage to their homes and/or themselves in panicked attempts to escape the house during a storm or loud noise event. In fact, more dogs end up in shelters on the 4th of July than any other day of the year in the United States. This session will review the development and progression of noise and other environmental fears in dogs, as well as how to manage and treat it through a combination of environmental changes, behavior modification and psychopharmacology. METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPH INFECTIONS IN DERMATOLOGY The purpose of this lecture is for us to work together to practice good antimicrobial stewardship given the continued rise in resistant skin and ear infections. We will work towards understanding the types and clinical signs of pyoderma, discuss the principles of antimicrobial resistance including methicillin resistance, multi-drug resistance, and the risk factors for these. We will briefly recap the importance of cytology and the different methods used. We will discuss the different ways to obtain culture and sensitivity samples, how to select a laboratory for processing skin cultures, and how to interpret culture results. Finally, we will go over the various topical therapies for MRSP/MRSS as well as the systemic therapy that may be needed for these cases. IT LOOKS LIKE ALLERGIES BUT IT'S NOT: DISEASES THAT MAY MIMIC HYPERSENSITIVITY DISORDERS Mollie Mesman, DVM, DACVD 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Ballroom C We see a lot of allergic cases in dermatology but we Mollie Mesman, DVM, DACVD 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Ballroom C can't forget about all the other things we may encounter! Not every itchy or alopecia dog has allergies, and these cases can be tricky. Learning Objectives: Understand why it is essential to recognize diseases that may mimic allergies; Be able to recognize parasitic diseases, endocrinopathies, non-allergic inflammatory dermatoses, immune- mediated diseases, and neoplastic conditions that may mimic allergies. I'M ALL EARS: DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT Learning Objectives: Understand ear anatomy and the goals of an otic examination; Recognize causes for otitis externa and how to address them; Discuss options for topical and systemic therapies and how to employ these; Recognize when a culture and susceptibility of the ear may be helpful; Focus on successful preventive options for the ears. OF CANINE OTITIS EXTERNA Mollie Mesman, DVM, DACVD 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Ballroom C
MANAGING ANESTHETIC COMPLICATIONS Lisa Ebner, DVM, MS, DACVAA, CVA 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Room 201 AB This presentation will review current anesthetic mortality rates and monitoring guidelines considered the standard of care. Common anesthetic complications will be discussed, including hypotension, thermoregulation, hypoxemia, difficult recoveries, and gastroesophageal reflux. Implementation of anesthetic safety checklists will be examined. This lecture would be helpful (but not required) to attend prior to the Saturday morning lab (Trouble- shooting Anesthesia Machines & Monitors). CARDIOVASCULAR SUPPORT DRUGS & RECOVER 2.0 UPDATES FOR CPR Lisa Ebner, DVM, MS, DACVAA, CVA 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Room 201 AB The focus of this presentation will be a discussion of the clinical use of cardiovascular support drugs used in the perioperative period. Updates from the recently published RECOVER 2.0 guidelines will highlight any changes that are recommended since the guidelines were last published over a decade ago. UNDERSTANDING CANINE AGGRESSION - PART 1 Aggression in dogs is an ongoing public safety issue. Many owners struggle to manage their pets’ aggression, either towards people, other animals, or, in many cases, both. Often these owners are at a loss for why these problems have developed and may inadvertently worsen the aggression problem by implementing poor and unsafe management practices. This series of 3 presentations takes a look into the motivational states for canine aggression. It will outline management strategies for common aggression problems in dogs, as well as discuss basic problem prevention. The final presentation will outline specific cases of canine aggression, including treatment plan and outcomes. Better Living Through Chemistry - Chemical Restraint for the Canine Patient Meghan Herron, DVM, DACVB 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Ballroom B Fearful and fractious patients will benefit from chemical assistance both before and during their veterinary visits. This fourth session will discuss oral premedication options to reduce anxiety and to provide sedation for fearful and/or fractious dogs. Injectable chemical restraint protocols as far as drug choice, doses, and best means of administration will also be discussed.

ALL THINGS DENTISTRY; LESSONS FROM THE TRENCH(MOUTH)ES Jessica Johnson, DVM, DAVDC 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Ballroom A Small animal veterinary dentistry is challenging and many of us learned it through trial by fire. Looking back on 10 years as a small animal general practitioner and 6 years in dental specialty, I have considered what advice I would give myself as a new grad that might have taken some of the stress out of those earlier years. This lecture if a hodge podge of pearls of wisdom and hard-learned lessons. In no particular order, we will discuss what instruments/burs can help improve efficiency. You've heard about staging procedures, how can you utilize that to increase your quality of care, while saving your schedule? What is the current thought behind bonding fractured teeth? And Consil? And Doxirobe? What procedures should I offer to clients and which ones might not be worth the trouble? This lecture if a hodge-podge of pearls of wisdom and hard-learned lessons from the trench(mouth)es. SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO; DECISION MAKING IN SMALL ANIMAL DENTISTRY Jessica Johnson, DVM, DAVDC 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Ballroom A Should I extract this tooth? As a general practitioner and veterinary dentist, this is the most commonly asked dental question. The majority of veterinarians have three important tools available to them to help make this decisions. Tool One: Intraoral dental radiographs. Sometimes one radiograph is sufficient, sometimes a multiple radiographs from multiple angles are needed. Sometimes we need to radiograph the other side for comparison. Tool Two: The Dental Probe. We need to measure pocket depths around the tooth so that we don't miss an important finding not evident on a 2-dimensional radiograph. Tool Three: Your eyes & hands. (Preferably with magnification and light.) What do you see? Are you taking a biopsy? Take a photo first and save that in the chart! Is the tooth mobile? Is there a draining tract? Does the jaw feel swollen? We will spend this hour reviewing cases, discussing the findings from the anesthetized oral exam, the intraoral dental radiographs, and measurements from probing around the teeth. We will put all those findings together to help us answer the big question: should this tooth stay or should it go? BETTER PRACTICE THROUGH PHARMACOLOGY - SEDATION FOR DIAGNOSTIC & THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES Lisa Ebner, DVM, MS, DACVAA, CVA 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Room 201 AB This presentation will highlight how the approach to sedation differs from premedication prior to general anesthesia. Tips and tricks for approaching a difficult dog or cat will be discussed, as well as some commonly used sedation protocols for otherwise young, healthy patients and those with comorbidities. A low stress/fear free approach will be emphasized. A review of the federal Controlled Substance Act drug schedules will be provided. PAIN MANAGEMENT – UPDATES AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Lisa Ebner, DVM, MS, DACVAA, CVA 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 201 AB This presentation will highlight the development of pain scales that can be easily implemented into general practice for assessing acute and chronic pain in veterinary patients. The recognition of pain in our patients is a big push by the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA), and earlier recognition can lead to a potential for a better treatment outcome. Updates on available pharmaceuticals that veterinarians should have in their toolbox will be discussed. Available anesthesia and analgesia resources will be featured in this lecture. This lecture would be helpful (but not mandatory) to attend prior to the lab on Saturday
