Dawn Boothe, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVIM, DACVCP Professor of Physiology & Pharmacology, Auburn University CVM334/844-4751 | [email protected] veterinary graduate of Texas A&M University, Dr. Boothe is a distinguished speaker nationally and internationally on pharmacology. She has received achievement awards for her teaching and currently is the director of the clinical pharmacology laboratory with Auburn’s veterinary program.Antimicrobial Resistance: Scope of the Problem We have a problem? Using Escherichia coli as an example, this session will demonstrate the role that virulence and resistance has in therapeutic failure and to demonstrate the extent of antimicrobial resistance in canine and feline pathogens. Interpreting Culture & Susceptibility Data: The Best Bang for Your Bug As one of many tools, culture and susceptibility data can be used—and abused – when making therapeutic antimicrobial decisions. This session will discus what those numbers do and don’t mean and how they can be used to choose the best drug for your patient. Design of the Antimicrobial Dosing Regimen: The MIC is the Key The dosing regimen can be among the most important tools to reducing antimicrobial resistance. This session will demonstrate the approach to designing dosing regimens for concentration versus time dependent antimicrobial drugs based on the minimum inhibitor concentration Treatment of Urinary Tract Infections UTIs are among (in Dr. Boothe’s perspective) the most difficult infections to treat. Understanding the pathophysiology is critical to therapeutic success. This session will focus on applying principles of antimicrobial stewardship to treating uncomplicated and complicated UTIs. NSAIDS: It Is Not All About the Control of Pain This session will focus on the potential impact of NSAID therapy on patient health when they are used to manage pain. Non-inflammatory effects, preventing side effects, and comparing safety will be included in our important discussion. Anticonvulsant Therapy & the Role of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring This extended discussion will address principles of using anticonvulsant drugs, with a focus on therapeutic drug monitoring to support our decision-making in the individual patient. The High Points of Medical Cannabinoids: Prayer or Promise? This session will address the types and sources of medical cannabinoids, the physiology behind their use, update the current regulatory status, and provide evidence regarding the potential therapeutic applications of this promising therapeutic option.

He co-authored the best-selling Small Animal Internal Medicine textbook (Elsevier) and has published more than 150 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals, and 150 book chapters.Getting the Most Out of the CBC Principles of interpretation will be addressed, using cases to illustrate different aspects. At the end of the talk, the CBC will talk to you! Getting the Most Out of the Chemistry Profile Reading a chem profile is quite straightforward if there are isolated abnormalities, but integrat-ing all of the parameters is a bit more challenging (but a lot of fun!) Cases will be used to discuss chemistry data integration. Integrating Clinical Information: How do Clinicians Think? So now we have a patient that “ain’t doing right,” with seemingly random CBC, chemistry, and UA results. How do we prioritize and integrate the information? Case discussions will illustrate this approach. Anemia: I Only Have a Microscope We have an anemic patient and only a microscope and a centrifuge. How do we generate differential diagnoses based on the severity of the anemia and the morphologic change in the blood film? Anemia: I Have My Own Analyzer You have in-house diagnostics but you never spent the time learning how to squeeze information out of your reports. It’s not that difficult! Flow cytometry analyzers versus impedance counters – let’s maximize the information out of that report. Hematology Case Discussions Real life cases will be used to summarize the previous presentations. Cytology in My Practice Cytology is a rapid, practical tool for the private clinician. Although not foolproof, it provides us with answers in a variety of clinical situations. Case examples will illustrate the practical applications of in-house cytology. What to Do for My Cancer Patient? Here is a well-kept secret: You can manage lots of oncology patients in your own practice. Case examples will show you how. How Do I Manage Dogs with Lymphoma? COP, CHOP, UWM-19, UWM-25? Lots of choices, but few answers. A practical approach to dogs with lymphoma will be presented, emphasizing in-house treatments.

Acute Pancreatitis in Dogs: Update on Diagnosis and Therapy A common cause of vomiting in dogs, definitive diagnosis can be difficult. Newer trends in diagnostic testing and treatment will be emphasized. Some cases present with mild self-limiting vomiting that is similar to cases of dietary indiscretion. Other cases have life-threatening vomiting and require intensive therapy. Antacid Therapy in Dogs & Cats: An Update Drug therapy is an important component of dogs and cats with upper GI diseases. The commonly used drugs will be reviewed, with emphasis on their clinical aspects. Newer antiemetic drugs (maripotant) will be discussed. Recent evidence on the efficacy of antacids (H2

blockers and proton pump antagonists) in dogs and cats will be presented. Chronic Vomiting: The Role of Dietary Trials, Ultrasound, Endoscopy, and Helicobacter The advantages and disadvantages of survey and contrast radiographs, abdominal ultrasound, GI endoscopy, and exploratory celiotomy will be discussed. The diagnostic and therapeutic of dietary roles will be presented. Case examples will illustrate important diagnos-tic principles. Icterus in Dogs & Cats: A Practical Diagnostic Approach Many practitioners are intimidated by the icteric patient. A practical diagnostic plan will allow the veterinarian to approach icteric dogs and cats will be discussed. The commonly used laboratory tests in cases with icterus will be reviewed. What’s New in Gastroenterology? Discussion will look at Doxycycline-induced esophageal stricture in cats; the diagnostic utility of abdominal ultrasonography in dogs with chronic vomiting and chronic diarrhea; treatment recommendations for Helicobacter- associated chronic gastritis and vomiting; and Giardia and zoonosis. Diagnostic Approach to Chronic Diarrhea in Dogs & Cats Chronic diarrhea in dogs and cats is often frustrating for the owner and veterinarian. A practical diagnostic plan will be presented that will allow the veterinarian to diagnose most cases. Numerous case examples will illustrate the diagnostic plan and briefly discuss therapy. GI Health: The Role of Probiotics & the Intestinal Microbiota Only recently have the complexities of the GI microflora begun to be understood. The functions of the microflora are diverse with many potential benefits to the host. Probiotics are used to normalize the microflora. Clinical evidence of the effectiveness of probiotics will be discussed.

Following residency and graduate training in veterinary anesthesiology and physiology at the University of Missouri, she attained board certification by the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia in 2005. She is passionate about improving anesthesia safety, minimizing patient stress, and maximizing patient comfort. Anesthesia Equipment: Safety Considerations Equipment is life-critical because malfunctioning or incorrect use can compromise patient lives. This session will look at practical safety concerns: 1) minimizing exposure to anesthetic waste gases, 2) ensuring appropriate delivery of oxygen and inhaled anesthetic, 3) elimination of carbon dioxide from the patient circuit, and 4) preventing physical harm to patients. Let’s Talk About Gas: Monitoring CO2 to Improve Safety Impaired lung function is a common anesthetic complication because general anesthetics are potent respiratory depressants. Monitoring CO2 is the most valuable technique for evaluating our anesthetized patients’ respiratory function. Capnography can allow us to recognize apnea, hypoventilation, equipment malfunction and endotracheal tube obstruction. Don’t Skip a Beat: Understand Arrhythmias in Anesthetized Patients Irregular heartbeats can be worrisome anesthetic complications. Anesthetic agents and heart disease are potential causes of cardiac arrhythmias. We will review differentiation of normal and abnormal ECGs, and discuss when treatment is warranted. The goal is to help you and your team identify common arrhythmias and understand appropriate interventions. Maintain Patient Comfort During Opioid Shortages The opioid shortage caught us off balance, with anesthetic and analgesic medications back-orders affecting patient care. Limited availability of opioids and other

anesthetics are likely a thing of the future. Let’s discuss practical options for maintaining patient comfort and safety during times of medication shortage. Alternatives to opioids will be reviewed in detail. Premeditated Pre-medications: Review and Revise Your Approach to Sedation Pre-medication is the administration of medications to achieve sedation and analgesia in advance of anesthesia. Such combinations benefit recovery and improve anesthetic safety. These protocols can also be used to facilitate procedures requiring sedation without anesthesia. We will address tailoring protocols to meet specific patient needs, including the fearful and/or aggressive patient. Improve Anesthesia Safety at Induction Induction is a critical time period when medications are administered that depress patients’ cardiovascular and respiratory systems and blunt autonomic reflexes. Patients are at increased risk of complications, including death, during this transition. We’ll review drugs (Alfaxan, Propofol and Ketamine), monitoring, support and airway control options to improve safety.

Turmeric for Spicy Health This talk will look at several different technologies to make turmeric more absorbable. Existing studies in veterinary medicine will be discussed, as well as the studies supporting its use in applications that have not yet been tested in veterinary species. Vitamin D: The Preventative Solution Recent studies have found a direct correlation between insufficient levels of Vitamin D in dogs and cats and a number of chronic diseases, including renal disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and inflammatory bowel disease, to name a few. This lecture will discuss what it does in the body, how it is tested for, accepted reference levels for Vitamin D sufficiency, and the many studies that support its values in keeping animals healthy. Medical Mushrooms Are the Next Great Thing After Cannabis Medical mushrooms can be picked from the wild, or can be cultivated. This class will show how cultivation techniques will influence medical potency. Learn how to identify the most potent mushrooms, and how each individual mushroom can affect the health of your patients. Veterinary Cannabis This two-part series will cover the broad topic: current regulatory environment, the phytopharmacology of the plant, and the pharmacology of the system of receptors in animals that helps modulate the nervous and immune systems. Discussion will look at published studies from Colorado State University and Cornell that have established the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of CBD in dogs, as well as the many potential applications for cannabis in companion animal species, including the equine, with regards to pain, epilepsy, cancer, and behavioral issues. Dosing recommendations will be explained.

Advances in Equine Colic This session will summarize relevant advances in research that aids practitioners in the assessment of colic in the field, with the goal to improve outcomes. Penetrating Injuries to the Hoof Although many of these injuries are superficial and respond well to treatment, the complex anatomy of the foot means that some of these injuries are severe and involve vital structures that endanger soundness and the life of the horse. This session will review the anatomic features that should be considered, how to evaluate their involvement, and treatment approaches to consider for management of these more complicated penetrating hoof wounds. Practical Applications of Regional Limb Perfusions Regional limb perfusions are a useful adjunct to the treatment of severe wounds and infections of the equine distal limb. This session will review the literature and highlight best recommendations for technique, antimicrobial choice, volume of perfusate, and duration of perfusion.

Part 1 Treatment of bovine central nervous system disease, foot rot and hairy heel wart, bovine respira-tory disease, NSAIDs and steroids for infectious disease. Take home some evidence to combine with your clinical experience and best interests of the client and patient. Evidence Part 2 Are you a critical consumer of “evidence” which may change your clinical practices? Learn the basics of discerning the good from the bad and discuss some examples in a group setting. There are a few key things for which you don’t need to be a rocket strategist to apply them. You Got Me Under Pressure Regulators, retailers, legislators, supply chains, consumers. What has happened in the recent past, the current situation, and more importantly, what’s the future of our interaction with our clients as told to us by all of these entities. What kind of evidence is driving these changes? Resistance-R-Us An in-depth update on antibiotic resistance and how antibiotic exposure and bacterial population characteristics contribute to the challenge. We will look at multiple aspects of a common feed additive antibiotic as an example of how certainty of effects is hard to come by. Could human behavior have as much or more of a role as evidence-based medical practices?

Bushby is the Marcia Lane Endowed Chair of Humane Ethics and Animal Welfare at Mississippi State. His interest in spay-neuter and shelter medicine dates back to his internship and surgical residency at the Henry Bergh Memorial Hospital of the ASPCA in New York City. He is a thought leader on the overpopulation of unwanted dogs and cats, and addresses the important role veterinarians have in assisting and tackling this issue.Efficient Spay-Neuter Surgery High-volume spay-neuter clinics use many techniques that are fundamentally different from what is taught to students. We will look at the efficient techniques used in high-volume spay-neuter clinics and the ability to implement them private practice. Unusual Spay-Neuter Surgery While ovariohysterectomy and castration are the most common surgical procedures performed in private small animal veterinary practice, not all spays or neuters are the same. Some animals presented for routine sterilization are not at all routine and may be challenging. We will discuss and demonstrate the surgical techniques used in the obese patient, the patient with pyometra, and the cryptorchid patient. Participants will learn about uterus unicornis and hermaphrodites, how to perform flank spays, and how to locate a testicle in an abdominal cryptorchid. Pet Overpopulation and What Can Be Done About It An estimated 3 to 4 million dogs and cats are euthanized in animal shelters in the U.S. each year. This is not an animal shelter problem, but a societal problem, and veterinarians can and should play a key role

in reducing those numbers. The Optimal Time for Spay-Neuter: An Analysis of Critical Spay-Neuter Literature Some in the profession advocate delaying spay-neuter later than the traditional age of 6 months, others advocate early age or pediatric spay-neuter. Who is correct? Is there a single recommendation that can be made? We will discuss confusing and often conflicting reports in the veterinary literature to help veterinarians understand the pros and cons of spay/neuter and the most appropriate age to perform these surgeries.

She also knows many of the challenges facing veterinary practice: her clientele includes veterinary clinics, and her brother is a veterinarian. Leadership Reflection: How to Be Effective Without Being the Bad Guy Leading by example, meaningful communication, and setting clear expectations, are key to a leader’s success. This session will provide you with practical tools, tips and strategies for setting goals and boundaries, communicating expectations clearly, coaching, counseling and discipline, and generally becoming a more effective manager and inspirational leader. We’ll explore the differences between being a leader and a boss, how to transition from peer to supervisor, and how to manage gossip in the workplace. Coaching & Documentation Essentials Words matter. Whether you are setting expectations, evaluating performance, coaching, counseling, disciplining, terminating, what you say to your team and how you say it will determine the results you achieve, and success is far more likely when you create a shared vision with your team about how to accomplish the goals and expectations you set. In this session, also learn why documen-tation is important from both legal and non-legal perspectives, what kinds of documentation you should use, how to use it as a meaningful management tool, how and when to document. Managing Absences & Leave Legalities around employee absences and leave are confusing to businesses—and one in which a lot of employers are getting into trouble. In this interactive session you will learn what you need to know about managing employees who are taking time off for pregnancy, illness, plus FMLA/OFLA leave. This session will cover paid sick leave, domestic violence leave (briefly), and family leave. Navigating the ADA & Disability Accommodation Are employees identifying a physical or mental condition as the reason why they are not able to perform their job duties or meet performance expectations? What can you say or should not say? What is the impact for a small business? We will examine real-life scenarios tailored to many common issues and concerns you may have, and present tips for maintaining productivity, employee morale, and your sanity!

A Simple Approach to Analyzing Acid-Base Status Because acid-base status is often measured at the cage-side, technicians are sometimes the first veterinary personnel to see the results and are charged with alerting the veterinarian about abnormalities. You will learn a simple approach to analyzing acid-base that will lead to fast identification of such disorders, as well as basic treatment for acid-base derangements. Mythbusting: ECC Pharmacology Edition Do we still need to use heparin to flush peripheral IV catheters? Should doxapram still be stocked in the neonatal resuscitation kit? What about administering steroids or pain medications to emergency patients? Liz will discuss these pharmacological questions, along with evidence to support their recommendations? Troubleshooting Anesthetic Complications The mark of a critical thinking anesthetist is how we react to complications. This talk will cover some of the most common concerns, how to approach them, and when we should be really worried! In addition, we will talk about what your monitors are actually telling you about what’s going on with your patient and what they are not telling you. We will discuss approaches to pulse oximetry readings, increased or decreased end tidal carbon dioxide readings, and hypo- and hyper-tension. Wrap It Up: Wound Healing & Bandaging Liz will address the technician’s role in wound care and management, including bandage construction and tips and tricks for applying the perfect bandage for every situation – and getting it to stay put. The most common bandages we place in practice will be covered as well as new wound management and bandaging techniques that are on the horizon. Solutions to Pollution: Toxicity Tips Liz will cover the technician’s and assistant’s role in decontamination—both external and internal—and tips of how to avoid common mistakes when treating poisoned patients.

David Liss, RVT, VTS (ECC, SAIM), CVPMConsultant & Speaker629/297-8249 | [email protected] | davidlissrvt.comMr. Liss is a highly sought after technician educator, double-board certified in emergency/critical care and small animal internal medicine, and a certified practice manager. He lectures internationally and is the author of numerous articles and book chapters, and serves on a number of technician association committees. Emergency & Critical Care Nursing This six-part session addresses the important role of technicians and assistants in providing patient care: 1) Triage and Stabilization—The first 5 minutes are critical 2) Nursing Stat—Care for the critical patient 3) Gasp!—Your role in respiratory emergencies 4) Garbage Gut—Nursing for the patient with acute pancreatitis 5) Pain Control—Your role in helping to manage distress and pain in the emergent patient 6) Blood Gases—Demystifying the numbers ICU Patient Monitoring: Show Me the Numbers Care of emergent patients typically focuses on the cardiovascular, neurological and respiratory systems. This session looks at the technician’s and assistant’s role in effective monitoring to help determine whether the patient is stable, improving or deteriorating. The “MAP” of Blood Pressure It’s not JUST a number. This talk is an in-depth look at blood pressure monitoring, and the nursing team’s role in assessing blood pressure, understanding different monitoring techniques, recognizing abnormal values and their implications, and knowing when to alert the clinician.
