Wed Nov 18, 2020 Feral Cats, Outdoor Cats & Wildlife Wed, Nov 18, 2020 Agenda: Once presented with the nature and scale of the problem, veterinarians are committed participants in addressing cat overpopulation through surgical sterilization services, counseling owners on responsible pet ownership, and by providing leadership on welfare issues. However, cat overpopulation is a large-scale problem, which veterinarians alone cannot solve. Our efforts need to be accompanied by effective education campaigns and funding initiatives from humane societies and municipalities to increase sterilization, permanent identification, and prevention of unsupervised, outdoor access by domestic cats. This CE session will provide insight into the nature and scope of the impact of outdoor cats on ecosystem health, offering various means to mitigate or solve this problem. 2.00 hrs CE credit ABVMA approved Seating is limited to 495 (428 places are currently available) Please RSVP before Nov 16 If you plan to attend, please login for online registration and payment - or notify the CAVM Administrator by email.

DERMATOLOGY RECORDING EXPIRES DEC 1, 2020 Tue, Dec 1, 2020 Agenda: Recording of Oct 25/20 live Zoom session. Learn How To Ditch the Itch! Approach to the Pruritic Dog Part 1* Ah the good old “itchy dog” appointment…..a frequent entry into your daily schedule during the week. These dermatology cases can be frustrating as multiple dermatologic diseases can present very similarly, meaning a number of diagnostic tests must be run prior to a final diagnosis. Many clients coming in with their pet specifically want that “magical pill” to fix the problem so it is important to discuss with them the long term plan and how we will arrive at that final diagnosis and decide upon treatment. In today’s lecture we will start with the work up for an itchy dog; how to rule in/out infection and parasites. In the second part of the lecture, we will review the work up for an itchy dog with allergic skin disease. Part 2 Once the possibility of a parasitic dermatitis has been ruled out and any secondary infections are being treated, we often rule in an allergic dermatitis as the cause of the pruritus in our patient. An allergic response is defined as a hypersensitive immune reaction to a substance that normally is harmless and would not cause an immune response. Food allergies, flea allergies and environmental allergies can cause allergic reactions in our patients. Flea allergic dermatitis is effectively treated using flea preventatives and anti inflammatory therapy for the patient’s comfort. For the purposes of this lecture we will focus more on food and environmental based allergies. 3.00 hrs CE credit ABVMA approved Please RSVP before Dec 1 If you plan to attend, please login for online registration and payment - or notify the CAVM Administrator by email.
