Topics:

Diagnosing gastrointestinal obstructions: tips and tricks.

Mechanical gastrointestinal obstructions are an important differential in dogs and cats with an acute history of vomiting.  In this session, a case-based review will be used to illustrate the key radiographic findings of pyloric outflow, small intestinal, and linear foreign body obstructions.  Nine tips and tricks for maximizing radiographic yield before moving on to ultrasound will also be reviewed, such as the importance of a left lateral projection, pneumogastrogram, pneumocolonogram, and compression radiography.

No, It’s not heart failure: a thoracic radiography case series.

While left sided congestive heart failure is a common respiratory emergency, many animals are misdiagnosed with this condition due to the overlapping radiographic appearance of other respiratory emergencies.  This session will use a case series to review the radiographic diagnosis of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, chronic lower airway disease, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary thromboembolism, atypical appearing metastatic neoplasia, and pulmonary hemorrhage.

30 minute lecture: Peripheral Nerve Blocks for Feline Dental Surgery: Review of peripheral nerve block physiology and instruction on administration of peripheral nerve blocks for feline dental surgery patients.

May 30th PM
1 HR lab: Obtaining full mouth dental radiographs in cat: Alexa Jones, RVT will demonstrate full mouth dental radiographs on a feline cadaver, allowing each participant to practice positioning of the radiographic sensor and beam for each image.  
1 HR lab: Performing peripheral nerve blocks: Dr. Steedman will identify pertinent anatomy prior to instructing and supervising participates while they practice infraorbital, maxillary, and inferior alveolar nerve blocks on feline cadavers.
1 HR lab: Performing a dental exam: Using cadaveric specimens, Dr. Rigby will review necessary instruments and demonstrate a detailed dental and maxillofacial exam. Participants will then each practice performing feline dental exams.

May 31st AM:

May 31st PM:
1.5 HR Wet-Lab: Crown amputations & open root planning: Participants will create a mucoperiosteal envelope flap around a mandibular canine tooth and a mandibular third premolar tooth. Open root planning will be practiced on each tooth prior to performing crown amputations. The treatments will be visually and radiographically assessed.  
3 HR Wet-Lab: Extraction of an entire maxillary quadrant: Following non-surgical extraction of the maxillary incisors, attendees will lift a triangular mucoperiosteal flap along an entire maxillary dental quadrant. Tooth-sectioning and buccal alveolectomy techniques will allow extraction of the unilateral maxillary dentition.
