CE DAYTIME SESSIONS
RECRUITING ASSOCIATES: WHAT WE ARE DOING WRONG Christine Staten, DVM & MBA 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Room 204 A With 18-20 positions available for every vet looking for a job, we need to identify what we are not doing well and make the necessary changes to attract associates. Competing with corporate practices for doctors can be intimidating and defeating BUT private practice has a place and can be very attractive to candidates. The course will go over the top 10 things current veterinary students are prioritizing in their job search and how you are probably already providing most of those things. It will give you the tools to make your messaging more attractive, make small changes in your practice, and get to Yes with that perfect associate. OUTSOURCING STOP TRYING TO DO IT ALL YOURSELF Christine Staten, DVM & MBA 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Room 204 A Do you need to take something off your plate? What do you start with? Think about the things that you like least. Start there. Are there people around you can do something you do better than you do. Let them do it. Are you putting yourself at risk, legally, by doing things that professionals should be doing? There are things that ONLY YOU can do as a practice owner or a manager but what about the rest? This presentation will answer these and many more questions you have. When you take something off your plate and have someone else do it, your return is either TIME, MONEY, or SANITY. In most cases, it’s all three! PET PIGS: COMMON CONDITIONS AND COOL CASES How confident are you when you are face-to-face with a pet pig? If you’re a small animal or equine doctor, things are complicated by food animal drug regulations. If you’re a large animal doctor, you are now faced with an animal that can’t wear a halter and has a simple stomach. Neither puts you in a comfortable spot. Christine Staten, DVM & MBA 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Room 204 A This presentation will go through the diagnosis and treatment of the top five pet pig conditions that we see at our mixed animal practice. After decades of seeing hundreds of pet pig emergencies each year, we have found some good solutions for managing sick or injured pet pigs. Let’s put some tools in your tool kit! BANDAGING AND SPLINTING IN RUMINANTS Jennifer Schleining, DVM, MS, DACVS-LA 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Room 204 A Bandages can be a useful adjunct to wound healing, post-operative recoveries, and medication delivery.

CAST PLACEMENT IN RUMINANTS Jennifer Schleining, DVM, MS, DACVS-LA 4:30 PM - 5:20 PM | Room 204 A Distal limb fractures in ruminants lend themselves to adequate healing through proper immobilization in a cast. In this session we will review conditions in which to consider casting to augment treatment, review cast application principles and steps to ensure adequate immobilization and patient comfort, and common pitfalls encountered in the short and long term management of casts in ruminants.

EORTH Cleet Griffin, DVM 10:00 AM - 10:50 AM | Room 204 B A detailed discussion of clinical signs and diagnosis of Equine Odontoclastic Tooth Resorption and Hypercementosis (EOTRH), including tips on the extraction of affected incisor/canine teeth EXTRACTIONS Cleet Griffin, DVM 11:00 AM - 11:50 AM | Room 204 B Important imaging principles and useful techniques for extraction of cheek teeth, including intraoral approach and surgical approaches. FOOD ANIMAL FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 _______________________________________ FLUID THERAPY IN CALVES Geoffrey Smith, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Room 204 A This presentation will cover both oral electrolyte and intravenous fluid therapy in calves. We will primarily focus on fluid therapy aimed at the treatment of calves with diarrhea. We will discuss how to choose an oral electrolyte in practice as well as practical options for IV fluid therapy on farms. FLUID THERAPY IN ADULT CATTLE Geoffrey Smith, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 204 A This presentation will focus on options for fluid therapy in adult cattle. What are the indications for fluids, what types of fluids should be used and how can we best accomplish this on-farm.
CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT IN EQUINE MEDICINE Joe Pluhar, DVM MBA 11:30 AM - 12:20 P | Room 204 B Basic financial review. Budgeting and cash flow techniques to secure your practices finances. EQUINE GASTRIC ULCER SYNDROME, PART I: BACK TO THE BASICS Linda Paul, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (LAIM) 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Room 204 B Let’s talk about EGUS! This session will go over scoring systems and how consistent they are between practitioners. Then, there will be a brief review of gastric physiology before delving into the mechanism of action for commonly used EGUS medications. EQUINE GASTRIC ULCER SYNDROME, PART II: RESEARCH ROUNDUP Linda Paul, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (LAIM) 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Room 204 B Curious about what’s new in the EGUS research sphere?

A DIGEST ON FOAL DIARRHEA PATHOGENS Linda Paul, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (LAIM) 4:30 PM 5:20 PM | Room 204 B Foals have unique pathogens and causes of diarrhea. This session will be an overview of the pathogens commonly included on diarrhea panels and what it means when a patient is positive for one (or more) of them. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 _______________________________________ REPRODUCTIVE EXAMINATION AND ESTIMATION OF FERTILITY POTENTIAL IN THE STALLION Camilo Hernández-Avilés, DVM, PhD 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Room 204 B The objective of this lecture is to provide practitioners with some practical background on the methods utilized to determine the reproductive soundness and fertility potential in stallions.

SEMEN PROCESSING AND PRESERVATION FOR ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION Camilo Hernández-Avilés, DVM, PhD 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 204 B This lecture will discuss current concepts of semen processing for cooled storage or cryopreservation in stallions. Topics related to intra-stallion variation on sperm quality after cooled storage or freezing/ thawing, techniques to enhance sperm quality and fertility potential with cool-stored or frozen/thawed semen, and the use of cool-stored or frozen/thawed sperm for assisted reproductive technologies (i.e., ICSI) will be addressed. ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN HORSES: WHAT DOES THE PRACTITIONER NEEDS TO KNOW NOWADAYS? Camilo Hernández-Avilés, DVM, PhD 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Room 204 B Currently, there has been an exponential increase in the number of mares and stallions that are enrolled in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) programs in the US and worldwide.
