CANINE PARVOVIRUS IN SHELTERS AND ACCESSIBLE CARE SETTINGS Stephanie Janeczko, DVM, MS, DABVP (Shelter Canine parvovirus infection remains a common, serious and potentially fatal viral infection of dogs - despite being a vaccine preventable disease. Most infected dogs will survive if provided with a treatment, but the typical approach to parvo treatment is expensive and intensive - limiting access to dogs in many shelter settings and those whose caregivers have limited financial resources. This session will cover key aspects of preventing and managing this important infectious disease, with an emphasis on population-level strategies and a spectrum of care approach to treatment. CANINE INFECTIOUS RESPIRATORY DISEASE IN SHELTERS Stephanie Janeczko, DVM, MS, DABVP (Shelter Canine infectious respiratory disease remains an important and challenging health concern, with many infectious agents implicated. This session will provide an overview of the epidemiology of CIRDC, with a focus on diagnosis, management, and prevention in a shelter setting.

PRINCIPLES OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY Alissa St. Blanc, DVM, MS, DACVS-SA 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Ballroom B This presentation will highlight the appropriate time and circumstance for a biopsy, explain indications for incisional and excisional biopsies, help practitioners plan appropriate tumor sample collection and predict expected side effects, and explain foundations of surgical oncology. BLASTOMYCOSIS & HISTOPLASMOSIS IN CATS & DOGS: STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW Andrew Hanzlicek, DVM, MS, DACVIM (SAIM) 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Room 201 AB A state-of-the-art review of the blastomycosis and histoplasmosis in cats and dogs. Information will include clinical findings along with the most recent recommendations for diagnosis, with emphasis on appropriate selection and interpretation of biomarker tests. Treatment monitoring will also be discussed. INVASIVE FUNGAL INFECTIONS IN CATS & DOGS: STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW Andrew Hanzlicek, DVM, MS, DACVIM (SAIM) 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 201 AB This state-of-the-art review will include information on invasive fungal infections (other than Blasto and Histo) in cats and dogs important to clinical practice in AR, LA, NM, OK, and TX. Clinical findings, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring will all be discussed. Diagnosis discussion will focus on biomarker selection and interpretation. LOOK-ALIKES: DISEASES THAT MIMIC INVASIVE FUNGAL INFECTIONS IN CATS AND DOGS Andrew Hanzlicek, DVM, MS, DACVIM (SAIM) 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Room 201 AB This review will discuss diseases in cats and dogs that mimic invasive fungal infections. The diagnostic approach and clinical features that help differentiate invasive fungal infections from look-alikes will be discussed. ANTIFUNGAL THERAPY IN CATS AND DOGS: STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW Andrew Hanzlicek, DVM, MS, DACVIM (SAIM) 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Room 201 AB This discussion will include commonly used antifungal drugs in small animal medicine - azoles, terbinafine, and amphotericin-B. Indications, contraindications, adverse-effects, and considerations for treatment monitoring will be discussed. Based on information discussed, the practicing clinician should be able to choose an appropriate antifungal drug and dosage for any clinical situation. UPDATE ON THE MANAGEMENT OF URI IN CATS - PART 1 Michael Lappin, DVM, PhD, DACVIM 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Ballroom A In this lecture, Dr. Lappin will review the causes of URI in cats, the use of diagnostic tools like PCR, and the ISCAID antibiotic treatment guidelines.
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU SCRATCH YOUR HEAD: SELECT FELINE DERMATOLOGY CASES Mollie Mesman, DVM, DACVD 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Ballroom C Everyone LOVES cat dermatology! For this lecture, we'll talk about cutaneous reaction patterns in cats. I'll go through my schedule for one month and compile random cat cases that I think will be helpful for you in general practice. SMALL ANIMAL: RATIONAL USE OF GASTROPROTECTANTS Carly Patterson, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM) 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Ballroom B I will highlight the rational use of commonly used gastroprotectants in small animal medicine and highlight recent literature updates with clinical cases.

SMALL ANIMAL: IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE THERAPY Carly Patterson, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM) 4:30 PM - 5:20 PM | Ballroom B I will review the pharmacology of commonly used immunosuppressive drugs and provide literature updates incorporated with clinical cases. While we encounter immune-mediated diseases often in clinical practice, there is very little guidance on what to do with the immunosuppressive drug protocol after patients achieve remission. I will highlight practical, case-based strategies. FELINE WOUND MANAGEMENT Catriona MacPhail, DVM, PhD, DACVS 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Ballroom A It is known that cutaneous wounds are slower to heal in cats than in dogs and large cutaneous wounds in cats can become difficult and frustrating to manage. An underlying contributing cause must be investigated in feline wounds that are slow to heal or that dehisce after appropriate closure. Management of feline nonhealing wounds may respond to specific, directed wound care or may require advanced or cutting-edge therapies that ensure adequate blood supply and provide an extended duration of mechanical support. Case examples we be used to discuss the unique challenges of feline wounds. FELINE GASTROINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION - PART 1 Catriona MacPhail, DVM, PhD, DACVS 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Ballroom A For cats that present with acute signs of gastrointestinal disease, obstruction is a primary differential. However with partial or linear gastrointestinal obstruction, cats may have more subtle clinical signs that may delay recognition and appropriate intervention. This session will use case examples to discuss decision-making and treatment in cats with GI foreign bodies. FELINE GASTROINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION - PART 2 Catriona MacPhail, DVM, PhD, DACVS 4:30 PM - 5:20 PM | Ballroom A Gastrointestinal obstruction case discussion with continue with cats requiring intestinal resection and anastomosis due to foreign bodies, intussusception, or focal neoplasia. Decision-making, risk factors for dehiscence, and postoperative care will be the primary focus in session.
