Cranial cruciate injury is the most common cause of hindlimb lameness in canine patients. This laboratory will discuss the underlying pathological processes that contribute to the disease process. You will learn how to diagnose complete and partial cruciate injuries. This laboratory will teach you how to do a complete stifle exploratory examination for meniscal injury, meniscal repair or release, as well as extracapsular suture placement using isometric principles of the stifle joint.

Medial patella luxation is a common condition diagnosed in small and large breed canine patients as well as feline patients. This laboratory will discuss the underlying pathological conditions that contribute to the disease process. You will learn how to diagnose as well as grade medial patella luxation based on physical examination findings as well as radiographic changes that commonly accompany or contribute to the condition. This laboratory will cover common surgical techniques to correct medial patella luxation including - block recession, wedge recession, tibial crest transposition, antirotation suture techniques as well as soft tissue modifications.

With Conf. Reg. Fee: Vets $395 Wet Lab Only Fee: Vets $595 This seminar series and combined wet lab will introduce the veterinarian to entry level abdominal ultrasound imaging in the small animal practice. The seminar consists of four, 50-minute lectures. The basic physics, an overview of instrumentation, common artifacts, and scanning techniques will be reviewed as well as normal anatomy and appearance of the abdominal organs.

Wet lab participants will be introduced to basic ultrasound image manipulation (knobology), physics and artifacts of abdominal ultrasound, learn scanning techniques, know how to identify normal abdominal structures through scanning of live animals. The lecture and wet lab is geared toward entry level abdominal ultrasound.

Interaction between the radiologist and the participants will be encouraged.

8:00 am - 5:20 pm Jason Arble, DVM, DACVR Sponsored by Supplies by

With Conf. Reg. Fee: Vets $395 Wet Lab Only Fee: Vets $595 This seminar series and combined wet lab are designed for veterinarians who want to further their training in small animal ultrasound. Lectures will briefly review ultrasound physics and artifacts, and assist the participants in fine-tuning the image. Normal intra-abdominal structure will be reviewed and abnormal intra-abdominal pathology will be emphasized. Wet lab participants will gain experience in completing a routine small abdominal ultrasound examination, knowledge of normal sonographic anatomy and appearance of commonly identified pathologies. Some of the more challenging intra-abdominal structures to image will be emphasized. Interaction between the radiologist and the participants will be encouraged and the attendees will have an opportunity to address personal areas of concern in their understanding of abdominal ultrasound scanning techniques.

With Conf. Reg. Fee: Vets $295 Wet Lab Only Fee: Vets $495 We all know how challenging feline dental extractions can be; and when it comes to dental extractions, cats aren’t small dogs! This lab will focus on the techniques, equipment and instruments that will ensure successful and complicationfree feline extractions and crown amputations. Participants will be instructed on how to surgically extract the maxillary and mandibular canines, maxillary fourth premolar, and mandibular first molar, as well as crown amputation of the mandibular canine and third premolar with tension-free flap closure.

With Conf. Reg. Fee: Vets $295 Wet Lab Only Fee: Vets $495 This lab is useful for veterinarians at all skill levels when it comes to surgical extractions in the dog. Participants will be given instruction on surgical extraction techniques for the major teeth, including maxillary and mandibular canines, maxillary fourth premolars, and mandibular first molars. Using cadaver specimens, principles of proper instrumentation, flap development, alveolar bone removal and management, tooth sectioning, and tension-free closure will be discussed and practiced. Participants will have the flexibility to choose which procedures to perform based on their own experience level.

(Limited to 60 DVMs & Techs) Techs $35 | Vets $35 This workshop is designed to provide attendees with information necessary to interpret clinical findings, fine needle aspirates and histopathology results from dogs with mast cell tumors to determine what additional forms of diagnostics are necessary to provide prognostic and therapeutic recommendations.

It will be given in a combination of didactic, hands on and interactive case discussion format. The workshop will culminate with a case discussion which will utilize 6 case examples from dogs with mast cell tumors.

Attendees will be asked to review the histopathology result for each case then formulate a plan for further immunohistochemistry testing and treatment based upon these results.

With Conf. Reg. Fee: Techs $75 Wet Lab Only Fee: Techs $125 This combination lecture and wet lab begins with the first hour discussing safety, terminology, normal and abnormal anatomy, and mounting of dental radiographs followed by hands on training. Learn how to take a diagnostic intraoral radiograph using the latest state of the art equipment taught by some the most highly trained veterinary technicians in veterinary dentistry. There is a low teacher to student ratio to ensure everyone takes all the images necessary to obtain full mouth radiographs of a dog and cat using cadaver heads. This is the most effective way to learn intraoral dental radiography because it imitates real life patients without the stress of having to monitor anesthesia while trying to learn at the same time.
