With Conf. Reg. Fee: Vets $750 Wet Lab Only Fee: Vets $950 Wet lab registration includes lunch. This course is designed to teach participants the technical aspects of a variety of canine soft tissue surgery procedures. Some ‘theory’ will be included in the lectures, but emphasis will be placed on ‘how’ to perform each procedure. The instructors will utilize video clips of clinical cases that represent the procedures participants will perform in the lab. Surgical procedures will be performed immediately after viewing the video. Topics have been chosen that represent surgical conditions commonly seen in veterinary practice and will include: scrotal urethrostomy, salivary gland resection, laryngeal tie-back, anal sacculectomy, chest drain placement and incisional gastropexy for the treatment of GDV.

With Conf. Reg. Fee: Vets $515 Wet Lab Only Fee: Vets $715 Wet lab registration includes lunch. 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), the physics and artifacts of abdominal ultrasound, learn scanning techniques, and learn how to identify normal abdominal structures through the scanning of live animals.
