The most common conditions in sheep and goats and how to treat them!
Wed, Mar 11, 2026 Agenda: Recording of our Wed Mar 11/26 Live Zoom Session Description:
At first glance dealing with sheep and goats can be intimidating. They are species that many of us do not deal with regularly. However, they are ruminants and there are only few major conditions which cause most of the problems. In this session we will review the most common conditions and how to treat/manage them.

Complications, Comorbidities, & Comfort: Mastering Anesthesia in Practice!
Sun, Apr 19, 2026 Agenda: Recording of Sun Apr 19/26 In-Person Session Expires Oct 31/26 (on Nov 1/26 you will no longer be able to watch this video)
Topics:
Lecture 1: Under Pressure: Taking Control of Anesthetic Complications (60 – 75 min). This lecture focusses on the three “H’s” of anesthesia: hypotension, hypoventilation and hypothermia. Particular emphasis will be placed on drug selection and administration for treating hypotension in practice. Lecture 2: Finding Your Rhythm: ECGs Under Anesthesia (45 – 60 min). ECG interpretation often causes the greatest uncertainty among monitoring modalities. This session builds confidence in distinguishing arrhythmia from artefact, and determining when — and how — intervention is required. Lecture 3: Beyond Non-Steroidals: The Chronic Pain Armoury (60 min). Chronic pain is complex and challenging to treat, but fortunately we have an expanding pharmacy of options. This lecture reviews validated assessment tools and evidence-based, multimodal pharmaceutical strategies for managing osteoarthritis and other chronic pain conditions. Lecture 4: The Bread & Butter Blocks: Hitting the Target with Locoregional Anesthesia (60 min). Ultrasound-guided locoregional blocks are becoming increasingly popular in veterinary medicine — and for good reason. They enhance patient comfort, reduce systemic drug requirements and improve anesthetic quality. This session covers the essential “bread and butter” blocks, along with signposting to resources that will allow you to take these skills into practice. Lecture 5: ASA 3+ Anesthesia: A Comorbidity Challenge (60 – 75 min). This interactive, case-based session explores the approach to higher risk anesthetic patients, from heart murmurs to brachycephalics. We will tailor anesthetic protocols to specific comorbidities and discuss drug selection strategies, including the various applications of Alfaxan. Lecture 6: Perioperative Nausea and Vomiting: The Big “Little” Problem of Veterinary Anesthesia? (45 – 60 min). Post-operative nausea and vomiting afflicts 30-80% of people, many of whom rate it as worse than surgical pain. A similar proportion of dogs may be affected and we are all familiar with the emetic effects of dexmedetomidine in cats. Our perioperative care prioritizes pain management, but many analgesics are nauseating. This lecture tackles how we can improve the recovery of patients facing this underrecognized complication.

Lights off, brains on: Let's read radiographs together!
Wed, May 13, 2026 Agenda: Recording of our Wed May 13/26 Live Zoom Session
Expires Nov 30, 2026
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.
