The program will walk through the diagnostics and management of a dog with hyperadrenocorticism and diabetes mellitus. Preferred diagnostic testing, medical management, and alterations to the dosing regimen based on disease state will be addressed. Finally, the presenter will offer cases and examples of how to manage a dog with both comorbidities.

Dermatologist Joya Griffin will walk the attendee through the importance of cytology for diagnosing and treating otitis externa. This will include treating for certain pathogens and tailoring your approach to the individual case of otitis. She will then discuss pitfalls to avoid that lead to treatment failures and finally will help the attendee to formulate a comprehensive treatment plan to minimize recurrence of OE.

Procedural sedation is often an underutilized tool for small practitioners. This educational program will demystify the concept of procedural sedation and its use in dogs. Detailed information on a novel sedative, a combination of the alpha-2-agonist, medetomidine, with the peripheral alpha-2 antagonist, vatinoxan will be provided. Real-world cases highlighting the use of this sedative will demonstrate how to leverage procedural sedation in your clinic.

Veterinarians, accompanied by up to 2 technicians/practice managers per hospital, are welcome.

In this educational presentation, we will introduce the concept of procedural sedation in veterinary practice. This includes a review of the basic physiology behind sedation in dogs, commonly-used sedatives, and the use of a reversal agent. Lastly, we will discuss a novel sedative, a combination of the alpha-2-agonist, medetomidine, with the peripheral alpha-2 antagonist, vatinoxan – and how it can improve your clinical practice.

This presentation will educate clinicians on all aspects of hyperadrenocorticism (HAC) diagnosis and treatment. It will include HAC signalment, clinical signs, complications, screening tests, and the specific endocrine testing used to diagnose the condition. In addition, the use of trilostane for disease management and its monitoring and side effects will be discussed. Multiple case studies will also be presented to make the presentation as clinically relevant as possible.

Equine osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of lameness and performance decline in horses, yet effective management requires more than short-term pain relief. This session will review the pathophysiology and clinical recognition of OA, highlight evidence supporting systemic chondroprotective therapies, and focus on the clinical use of the latest available therapy, pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS). Participants will gain practical strategies for incorporating PPS into multimodal treatment plans, optimizing client communication, and building long-term value for both equine health and veterinary practice.

This webinar will provide a practical approach to using cytology for diagnosing cancer in dogs and cats in general practice. Attendees will learn how to improve sample collection, recognize key cytologic patterns of common tumors, and understand when cytology is sufficient versus when biopsy or referral is indicated. The session emphasizes real world applications to build confidence in integrating cytology into everyday diagnostic workups.

The program will then go into the focus of FAS levels 3,4, and 5 and explain each in detail and what must happen when handling each. Pre visit pharmaceuticals will be discussed in detail for each level of FAS patient. More time will be spent on chemical restraint and when full anesthesia is warranted vs light sedation. Positives and negatives of each will be discussed and several drugs will be covered. Finally, safety and restraint for IM injections will be discussed.

Otitis externa in small animals is common, recurrent, uncomfortable for the pet and frustrating for both owner and veterinary team. Each individual has a different combination of Primary disease, Secondary infection, Perpetuating factors and Predisposing factors, allowing the veterinarian to create a personalized plan to approach their treatment through the PSPP system. Use of the PSPP system helps guide clinicians through topical otic selection for resolution of active disease and prevention of relapse. Cooperative care and communication techniques when implementing home care are critical to successful long term management.
