In spite of this, some of them do pretty well. This presentation will review what we know about forces that are related to health and disease in stocker cattle. ULTRASOUND OF SMALL RUMINANTS: GETTING This presentation will go over basic set up and function of the ultrasound machine to improve image quality and discuss some of the ultrasound artifacts that can be encountered. We will also go over an approach to ultrasound of the thorax and abdomen of the small ruminants discussing what is normal and some of the more common diseases. LAMENESS CASES IN CATTLE Robert Cole, DVM, DACVR, DACVR-EDI 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Room 201 C Looking at lameness cases in cattle, especially those that are not associated with the foot.

the pitfall of ultrasound guided procedures and how to minimize those.

RUMINANT BLOODWORK Jenna Stockler, DVM, DACVIM 10:00 AM - 10:50 AM | Room 201 C Case based discussion on ruminant bloodwork and what it means. MY RUMINANT HAS A SWELLING Jenna Stockler, DVM, DACVIM 11:00 AM - 11:50 AM | Room 201 C Will discuss common and uncommon swellings, masses, and other lumps that are seen in ruminants. Will discuss differentials and how to go about providing the best outcome. INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 _______________________________________ TCVM APPROACH TO BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS Anxiety, Phobias, and Aggression are common disorders seen in practice that have serious implications for the human-animal bond. One of the leading reasons that dogs and cats are relinquished to shelters is due to behavioral issues including destructive behaviors. It is important to use the integrative approach to strive to salvage the human-animal bond and improve the quality of life of the affected pets. Mitsie Vargas, DVM, MSTCVM 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Room 110 B INTRODUCTION TO FECAL MICROBIOTA TRANSPLANTATION (FMT) IN COMPANION ANIMALS Holly Ganz, PhD 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 110 B Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is an emerging therapeutic approach in veterinary medicine, offering a promising solution for managing gastrointestinal disorders by restoring microbial diversity. This lecture provides veterinarians with a foundational understanding of the gut microbiome’s role in companion animal health, the mechanisms of FMT, and its clinical applications for such conditions as acute diarrhea, chronic enteropathies, antibiotic-associated dysbiosis, Canine Parvovirus, and Atopic Dermatitis. Attendees will learn about the different routes of administration, donor selection criteria, and safety considerations, ensuring responsible and effective implementation of FMT in practice. The session will also explore the future of microbiome-based therapies, including synthetic microbiota and next-generation probiotics. By the end of this lecture, veterinarians will have a comprehensive understanding of how to leverage FMT as a practical tool for improving patient outcomes. TCVM APPROACH TO SEIZURES Mitsie Vargas, DVM, MSTCVM 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Room 110 B This presentation will discuss seizures from the Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) perspective.

Not nearly as famous an organ as in their K9 counterparts, but much more fascinating – case examples will be used to prepare yourselves to recognize, diagnose, and treat problems arising from this rarely heard from tissue. THE CHANGING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FELINE DIABETICS AND THEIR VETERINARIANS Craig Webb, PhD, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM) 11:00 AM - 11:50 AM | Ballroom B The world of feline diabetes is growing more sophisticated by the minute, with even more advancements on the not-too-distant horizon. Human Drs. have the advantage of specializing NOT in Endocrinology, but in ONE Endocrinopathy – veterinarians, not so much. We must therefore be cognizant of our time as we attempt to remain on the forefront of new developments – diabetes being a great example.

I'll cover physical examination, herd health issues like vaccinations and parasites, sedation, drug use, castration, and common diseases. Babies with a tough start that don’t come around can make you feel like your efforts weren’t worth it – we have all been there. These are tough cases, but we are learning more and more about improving outcomes in these calves.
