Jennifer Larsen, DVM, PhD, DAVCN 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM I 214 D Basic required components of pet food labels will be reviewed, with an emphasis onwhat exactly this can tell you. Pet owners have access to a range of information regarding all aspects of pet foods. Much of the information available is not reliable, which is problematic as it hinders the pet owner's ability tomake rational choices for their pet's diet. Some of thesemyths will be discussed, and critical evaluation of information as well as how to obtain reliable and accurate resources about pet foodwill be provided. HOMEMADE DIETS: This lecture will cover topics related to homemade diets, including why pet owners want or need to use these diets, pros and cons, andwhat is involved in formulation of balanced diets.

New treatments (medical and procedural) for canine incontinence are covered, including minimally invasive correction of ectopic ureters and newer procedures and drugs for USMI. WHAT A BLOOD SMEAR CAN TELL YOU Blood smears, which are easy to prepare and evaluate, can provide critical information about patients. This lecture will start with a technical reviewof blood smear preparation and evaluation. Common abnormalities of each cell lineage and their associated cause will be presented through images and case examples. This lecture will serve as a foundation to subsequent lectures “Regenerative Anemias,” “Non- Regenerative Anemias,” and “Leukograms.” REGENERATIVE ANEMIAS: WHEN THE MARROW IS WORKING Causes for anemias can be narrowed down to hemorrhage or hemolysis if an appropriatemarrow response is present. This lecture will briefly review assessment of erythroid regeneration in dogs and cats and focus on the differentiation and identification of hemorrhagic and hemolytic anemias. Specifically, anemia secondary to iron deficiency, immune- mediated hemolysis, erythroparasitism, oxidant injury, and fragmentationwill be reviewed through case examples and images. NON-REGENERATIVE ANEMIAS: WHEN THE MARROW IS SUPPRESSED Shannon Dehghanpir, DVM 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM I 210 AB Decreased production of erythroid cells by themarrowwill lead to a non-regenerative anemia. As blood smear evaluation is not typically rewarding to determine the cause of a non-regenerative anemia, this lecture will focus on clues to help identify underlying diseases. Specifically, anemia secondary to inflammation, chronic renal disease, endocrine disease, iron depletion, and immune-mediated destruction of erythroid precursors will be discussedwith case examples.
