TREATMENT OF ANGULAR AND FLEXURAL DEFORMITIES IN THE YOUNG HORSE Scott Morrison, DVM 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM I 006 C I will discuss foot management in the immature horse to correct angular and flexural deformities. I will discuss protocols for different conformational faults for each age range. Some of the topics discussedwill be angular deformities of the fetlocks and carpus, and congenital and We will discuss different modalities and treatment options for some of themost common foot infections (i.e., white line disease, canker, and routine foot infections). I will also discussmanagement of themore serious foot infections. Examples of some of the problems we will address include infections of the navicular bursa, coffin joint, quittor, and pedal bone osteomyelitis.

Scott Weese, DVM, DVSc, DipACVIM 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM I 006 C Infection control and biosecurity are important concepts for equine practices and farms. Infectious diseases are a common problem in horses and transmission of pathogens on farms, other facilities (i.e., racetracks, show grounds) and veterinary clinics can account for substantial morbidity, disruption, frustration and cost. Yet, basic concepts of infection control and biosecurity are often overlooked. This presentationwill provide an overviewof important and practical biosecurity and infection control practices. CLEANING AND DISINFECTIONOF The nature of the equine environment, horsemanagement and veterinary practice lead to awide range of items that can become contaminatedwith pathogens. These can pose a risk to horses, aswell as their human contacts (including veterinarians). Items such as twitches, tubes, trucks and the general environment all pose different risks and challenges for cleaning and disinfection. This presentationwill discuss risks of pathogen transmission from inanimate sources, with a focus on practical approaches to risk reduction. FLUID THERAPY Ben Buchanan, DVM, DACVIM, DACVECC 4:30 PM - 5:20 PM I 006 C Intravenousfluids are sterile electrolyte and dextrose solutions designed tomanipulatemultiple body functions, including renal, endocrine, metabolic, and cardiovascular. They should be treated like any other drug and dosed based on the conditionwith frequentmonitoring and follow-up. The traditional concept of a “maintenance” fluid rate should be challenged in Equinemedicine. This presentationwill focus on howto usefluids smarter and saferwhich ultimately ismore economical. acquired flexural deformities. TREATING FOOT INFECTIONS Scott Morrison, DVM 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM I 006 C VETERINARY AND EQUINE EQUIPMENT J. Scott Weese, DVM, DVSc, DipACVIM 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM I 006 C

Shannon Dehghanpir, DVM 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM I 210 AB Leukograms to consider in veterinarymedicine include stress, inflammatory, physiologic, leukemic, and “relaxed.” This lecture will briefly review analyzer methodology for enumerating nucleated cells, the importance of blood smear review, and tips on how to classify leukograms. There will be a specific focus on lymphocytosis in dogs and cats with discussion of best subsequent diagnostic tests to exclude lymphoma/leukemia. CYTOLOGY PART 1: LUMPS AND BUMPS AND NODES – OHMY! This two-part lecture will detail the cytologic findings of common (sub)cutaneous lesions and lymph nodes in the dog and cat. In Part 1, there will be a brief reviewof proper collection and smearing technique for cytologic samples. Additionally, commonmesenchymal, epithelial, and round cell neoplasms will be presented throughmultiple images. Three to four “key” findings will be provided for each lesion to use for future diagnoses. Example cases include plasmacytoma, sebaceous adenoma, melanoma, peripheral nerve sheath tumor/perivascular wall tumor, andmany others! CYTOLOGY PART 2: LUMPS AND BUMPS AND NODES – OHMY! This two-part lecture will detail the cytologic findings of common (sub)cutaneous lesions and lymph nodes in the dog and cat. In Part 2, there will be specific discussion on inflammatory and infectious lesions in addition to nodal cytology. Three to four “key” findings will be provided for each lesion to use for future diagnoses. Example cases include vaccine reaction, cryptococcosis, lymphoma, and many others! DIARY OF A GRUMPY CAT: WHAT'S NEW IN FELINE CARDIOMYOPATHY? PART 1 Sonya Gordon, DVM 1:30 PM - 2:20 PM I 214 D This sessionwill cover advances in screening, diagnostics and treatment recommendations for cats with asymptomatic and symptomatic cardiomyopathy with emphasis on lessons learned from recent publications. Screening protocols for asymptomatic cats withmurmurs, and if andwhen to initiate treatment will be highlighted. This session is part 1 of 2 parts. DIARY OF A GRUMPY CAT: WHAT'S NEW IN FELINE CARDIOMYOPATHY? PART 2 Sonya Gordon, DVM 2:30 PM - 3:20 PM I 214 D This sessionwill cover advances in screening, diagnostics and treatment recommendations for cats with asymptomatic and symptomatic cardiomyopathy with emphasis on lessons learned from recent publications. Screening protocols for asymptomatic cats withmurmurs, and if andwhen to initiate treatment will be highlighted. This session is part 1 of 2 parts. ESOPHAGEAL DISEASES IN THE DOG: NOT SO RARE AFTER ALL... Frederic Gaschen, DVM 1:30 PM - 2:20 PM I 214 A This presentationwill focus on the clinical presentation, diagnosis and optimal management of esophageal diseases such as reflux esophagitis andmegaesophagus. Particular discussion points will include how to best recognize and treat reflux, and updates on the differential diagnosis of esophageal dilation (megaesophagus). IS FELINE EMESIS YOUR NEMESIS? CASE-BASED DISCUSSIONOF THE APPROACH AND MANAGEMENT OF CHRONICALLY VOMITING CATS Frederic Gaschen, DVM 2:30 PM - 3:20 PM I 214 A This lecture will review themany differential diagnoses that apply to cats presented for vomiting.
