The Human-Honeybee Bond - March 25th I 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM

Animals have always had a special place in my life and heart. I love my dogs, cat, and parrots like they are part of the family. But bees? Who knew one could become “bonded” to an insect! Come share in my adventure in falling in love with stinging insects and gain some perspective and inspiration for these fascinating bugs. Presented by: Josh Vaisman, CCFP, MAPPCP

Participants will learn techniques to take fast and effective patient histories, perform thorough physical exams and turn that information into an appropriate triage level. We will also explore ways to make the entire clinic staff a well-oiled triage and stabilizing machine! Presented by: Angela Elia, BS, LVT

 

 

Fluid Therapy in the Feline Neonate - March 25th I 5:00 PM - 5:50 PM

The Physiology of Pain - March 26th I 10:15 AM - 11:05 AM

Pain signals travel along a certain path on their way up to the brain.

Recognition of normal vs. abnormal is essential to diagnosis and treatment of painful oral conditions. Understanding the process of diagnosis as well as potential treatments will be learned. Prevention is key if possible. We want to know what options we have when it comes to feline oral health. Presented by: Benita Altier, LVT, VTS (Dentistry)

Caring for the Recumbent Neurologic Patient - March 27th I 1:30 PM - 2:20 PM

Nursing the recumbent patient can be challenging at times although it can also be very rewarding when we are able to utilize a variety of nursing skills that improve the patient's comfort and quality of life. With many aspects to consider, developing care plans with a holistic approach helps to ensure gold standard care is provided. This presentation will provide options for "head to tail" nursing strategies to support patients impacted by recumbency-especially when combined with neurological disease. Presented by: Julie Nettifee, RVT, MS, VTS (Neurology)
