CE Evening Sessions
SURVIVING THE OPIOID SHORTAGE: FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVES FOR PERIOPERATIVE PAIN MANAGEMENT Chiara Hampton, DVM 9:00 PM - 9:50 PM I 214 C Several socioeconomic events have resulted in a national and international reduction of available opioids. The resultant shortage has strongly impacted human and veterinary medicine, leading to a search for effective alternatives in matter of perioperative pain management. This lecture explores the current options available to the veterinary professionals for providing perioperative quality pain management to their patients. RAWDIETS: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE? Jennifer Larsen, DVM, PhD, DAVCN 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM I 214 D This lecture will cover the possible advantages and disadvantages of feeding raw animal products, including bones, to dogs and cats. Scientific evidence for the proposed benefits and risks will be discussed. ENTERAL FEEDING OF DOGS AND CATS Jennifer Larsen, DVM, PhD, DAVCN 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM I 214 D Rationale for provision of nutritional support is based on scientific evidence of benefit in critical illness. Principles of patient assessment will be introduced, including diet history as well as body and muscle condition scoring. Various feeding tube devices will be reviewed, including indications and pros/cons. Strategies for successful use of feeding tubes will be discussed. A BIG DEAL: PREVENTION ANDMANAGEMENT OF OBESITY Jennifer Larsen, DVM, PhD, DAVCN 9:00 PM - 9:50 PM I 214 D We will discuss animal, owner, and diet factors related to the development and maintenance of obesity. Howmuch to feed, how to feed, and strategies for improving compliance and success will be covered. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 _____________________________________________________ VET BLUE AND TFAST IN CATS: THE TALE OF 4 discuss with actual cases of several cats that look similar based on physical examination, however, with the use of Vet BLUE lung ultrasound and TFAST, their condition can be rapidly determined within minutes when seconds count. Each has a radically different Vet BLUE pattern and the concepts are easily teachable. The lecture is practical and case-based and covers feline asthma, pleural effusion, left-sided congestive heart failure, and metastatic disease. GLOBAL FAST FOR FLUID RESUSCITATION AND PATIENT MONITORING: MORE THAN THE RUSH EXAM Greg Lisciandro, DVM, Dipl. ACVECC 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM I 214 D We will discuss the use of the Global FAST approach for patient monitoring and show howGlobal FAST does far more than the RUSH exam used in human medicine. We will cover TFAST echo views and their fallback views, including assessment of the caudal vena cava characterization and lung assessment (Vet BLUE). Moreover, the Global FAST approach can predict degrees of anemia and semi-quantitate ascites, detect other regions of internal volume loss, assess degree of pneumothorax and provide a tracking tool, and estimate urine output noninvasively. Lecture is practical and case-based and based off several cutting-edge published clinical studies by the author. GLOBAL FAST FOR DETECTING TREATABLE FORMS OF SHOCK - KNOWING YOUR HS AND TS OF CPR Greg Lisciandro, DVM, Dipl. ACVECC 9:00 PM - 9:50 PM I 214 D The RECOVER Guidelines for CPR in veterinary medicine were landmark. However, the determination of whether your patient has treatable conditions in these first minutes is critical to potentially save its life. Through the use of Global FAST, the Hs and Ts of causes for cardiopulmonary arrest are quickly ruled in or ruled out, FELINES: A COLOSSAL CHANGE Greg Lisciandro, DVM, Dipl. ACVECC 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM I 214 D Respiratory patterns and lung auscultation are insensitive means of sorting through causes of respiratory distress in cats. Radiography is risky. We will
including tension pneumothorax, pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), internal hemorrhage, pericardial effusion/tamponade, and anaphylaxis. This is a cutting-edge practical approach for heading off cardiopulmonary arrest and helping direct resources during CPR. LEPTOSPIROSIS: CURRENT RECOMMENDATIONS AND WHAT IS THE RISK TO VETERINARY PROFESSIONALS Mark Acierno, DVM, MBA, DACVIM 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM I 214 A Current diagnosis and treatment recommendations and what is the risk to veterinary professionals and how to minimize the risk. NEPHROTOXICOSIS: ETHYLENE GLYCOL AND BEYOND Mark Acierno, DVM, MBA, DACVIM 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM I 214 A In this talk we go through diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment of common nephrotoxins (e.g., ethylene glycol, lilies, grapes, NSAIDS, cholecalciferol, etc.). Emphasis is on practical diagnostics and treatment steps. Advanced therapies such as therapeutic plasma exchange and dialysis are introduced where appropriate. IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CATS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE Mark Acierno, DVM, MBA, DACVIM 9:00 PM - 9:50 PM I 214 A Overview of proposed pathophysiology of chronic kidney diseases are presented. Diagnostic work up and management strategies of CKD are discussed. Managing the side effects of chronic kidney disease including hydration, hypertension, hypokalemia, hyperphosphotemia and anemia are covered. The importance of diet and feeding strategies are focused upon including the values of esophagostomy tubes and control of nausea. MULTI-TRACK/CROSS SPECIES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 __________________________________________________ ZOONOTIC DISEASE FOR THE ANIMAL CARE PROFESSIONAL: WHAT YOUWISH YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO KNOWBUT ABSOLUTELY MUST PART 1 Jay Tischendorf, DVM 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM I 213 AB Zoonotic infections are a constant threat to those who work in animal health. They are also among the most fascinating of diseases in the world of medicine and disease, serving in many ways as a perfect “poster child” for the burgeoning One Health movement which entwines and unifies human, animal, and environmental health. This 3-part program explores the history of zoonotic disease and the challenges of diagnosing and treating these remarkable - and often frightening - conditions. It touches upon many of the more common and/or deadly risks animal care teams face, as well as some lesser known ones as well. Awareness, avoidance and prevention are major themes of this presentation.

USDA Staff 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM I 212 AB Providing clients with the service of issuing international health certificates can be a valuable part of a clinic’s repertoire. This presentation will provide valuable resources, guidance and keys to success when completing health certificates for both small and large animals. Attendees will learn where to go to begin the process, how to navigate both the USDA Pet Travel and Live Animal Export Regulations websites, and who to contact for help. Presenters will clarify common missteps and provide valuable insight into the submission and endorsement processes. VETERINARY EXPORT HEALTH CERTIFICATION SYSTEMS: SAVE TIME AND HEADACHE BY SUBMITTING INTERNATIONAL HEALTH CERTIFICATES ELECTRONICALLY USDA Staff 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM I 212 AB The updated Veterinary Export Health Certificate System (VEHCS) was rolled out in the summer of 2018. VEHCS allows Accredited Veterinarians to electronically sign and submit health certificates for a variety of animals and germplasm. This presentation will provide resources, guidance and helpful contacts for the successful submission of electronic international health certificates. Presenters will explain the multiple advantages to utilizing this option and encourage attendees to create a VECHS user account to see for themselves all the ways it can be of benefit. NON-TRADITIONAL/EXOTICS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 _____________________________________________________ CONTRAINDICATED DRUGS IN SMALL EXOTIC MAMMALS Sue Chen, DVM, DABVP 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM I 211 In this presentation we will review a standardized approach to generalized lymphadenopathy in the dog with emphasis on the diagnosis and staging of lymphoma. COMMON CANCERS IN SMALL MAMMALS PART 1: FERRETS Sue Chen, DVM, DABVP 8:00 PM - 8:50 PM I 211 It is well documented that our pet ferrets are plagued with a plethora of neoplastic conditions. Of the tumors seen in ferrets, more than half arise from the endocrine or hemolymphatic systems. Additionally, many ferrets will havemore than one type of tumor. The threemost commonly noted lesions in clinical practice are insulinomas, hyperadrenocorticism, and lymphosarcoma. Other spontaneously occurring tumors include various cutaneous neoplasms, preputial gland adenocarcinomas, and chordomas. Recognition of the clinical signs and timely diagnostic evaluation of these conditions allows for early management of these diseases and improvement of these patients’ lives. Surgical and medical therapies, including palliativemeasures for various tumor types will be discussed.
