Companion Animal CE Sessions - Track One (Windsor III Rm.) 11:20 a.m. - 12:10 p.m. • Embrace Fear Free & You’ll Thrive. Dismiss It And You’ll Be Lucky To Survive. Part I • Marty Becker, DVM In the past four decades we’ve had four transformations in companion animal practice. First was “feline medicine” followed by complete “oral health care.” These were followed by a focus on “preventive healthcare” and “multi-modal pain management.” All of these combined aren’t as large as the latest transformation in veterinary medicine and that is providing Fear Free veterinary visits. After seven years of development by a team of over 160 professionals and five of successful in-practice deployment, Dr. Marty Becker and the team have rolled out the essential skills you need for real and lasting change. Practices implementing Fear Free procedures and protocols are seeing 20% plus growth per year. Finally, something where everybody wins; the pet, pet owner, practitioners, practice and the profession. “Do well by doing good!”

1:20 - 2:10 p.m. & 2:40 - 3:30 p.m. • Embrace Fear Free & You’ll Thrive. Dismiss It And You’ll Be Lucky To Survive. - Part II & III • Marty Becker, DVMFear Free is simply having a pet “physical well-being” in one hand and their “emotional well-being” in the other. Pets aren’t coming in as often as they were, and should be. Why? You can blame it on “Dr. Google” and do nothing, or you can understand the real reasons and make the neces-sary changes. Pet-owners whose pets are terrified of a veterinary visit won’t bring them in for anything but the worst, forcing you to miss out on essential well-pet care that improves and extends a high quality of life for the pet and the owner. Creating Fear Free veterinary visits is a simple, straightforward way to ease the stress and turn both pet and pet-owner into relaxed, happy, repeat visitors. By taking the “pet” out of “petrified,” you put pets back into practices

3:40 - 4:30 p.m. • The Top 10 Ways To Get Started With Fear Free Veterinary Visits • Marty Becker, DVM By decreasing a pet’s fear, you dramatically increase pet owner visits to vets. Here’s a step-by-step guide in how to remove or reduce anxiety trig-gers as the pet moves from the living room at home to the exam room at your clinic, how to mitigate fear when it flares up, a new way to exam pets (including specifics such as “considerate approach,” “gradient touch” and “gentle control”) and how to communicate these positive changes to pet owners. The pet owner’s role in taking a pet to the vet has to fundamentally change and we’ll show you how to help them deliver a pet that is calm and feels safe.

Food Animal CE Sessions - (Windsor II Rm.)11:20 a.m. - 12:10 p.m. • Interpreting Diagnostic Tests When Screening Apparently Healthy Populations • Bob L. Larson, DVM, PhD Cattle veterinarians must frequently interpret the results of diagnostic tests used to screen apparently healthy populations or individuals to find persistently infected disease carriers. Information such as the commonness or likelihood of the infection being present, the cost of the disease, the cost of intervention for test-positive cattle, and the test cost should be considered when planning the most appropriate testing strategy.

1:20 - 2:10 p.m. • Evaluating the Cost-Effectiveness of Veterinary Products and Services • Bob L. Larson, DVM, PhD In business, we often hear that we need to spend money to make money. That concept certainly applies to animal health in our clients’ opera-tions, where investments in prevention and control of diseases, parasites and injuries pay off by improving productivity and reducing economic losses associated with animal morbidity and mortality. But of course, the devil is in the details, and it falls upon the veterinarian to objectively evaluate the costs and benefits of prevention and control programs.

2:40 - 3:30 p.m. • Beef Cow Herd Reproduction: Tools and Tips to Diagnose Herd Problems • Bob L. Larson, DVM, PhD At fall pre-check time, I am often asked why some of the cows are open; and of course, there can be many reasons why a cow may not be preg-nant after running with bulls for several weeks. Developing methods to evaluate and display pregnancy percentages by 21-day period within a breeding season combined with targeted questions to the producer and physical exam findings of the palpated reproductive tract provide important information to identify the most likely rule-out list a herd’s reproduction problem.

Pre-purchase examinations are often requested by a potential buyer of a horse. The objective is to reduce the buyer’s risks in relationship to the general health and athletic soundness of the horse for sale. The examination is often centered around the central question of “ will this horse do its intended job and hold up” . The goal of the 3 hours is to present selected abnormalities encountered during the physical and moving exams, radiographic examina-tion, common mistakes in radiographic techniques and approaches to interpretation.

3:40 - 4:30 p.m. • Panel Discussion: Pre-purchase Exam Cases • Kurt Selberg, DVM

9:00 - 9:50 a.m. • Repellency Against Mosquitoes Reduces Heartworm Disease Transmission John McCall, MS, PhDWe present a new multimodal strategy for heartworm prevention, incorporating a topical mosquito-repellent ectoparasiticide (dinotefuran-per-methrin-pyroproxiphen-DPP) with a macrocyclic lactone (ML) preventive (milbemycin-MBO). The repellent-insecticide blocked transmission of Mf to mosquitoes, with weekly anti-blood-feeding effect (repellency) and 24-hour insecticidal efficacy of greater than 95% for one month. This product was also 98.5% effective as a repellent and 96% effective in blocking the transmission of L3 to dogs for one month. MBO alone was 59% effective, while MBO+DPP was 100% effective in preventing heartworm development in dogs. This new approach could slow down the spread of ML-resistance as it provides enhanced protection for the pet.
