Surgical oncology involves a logical progression of answering the questions “what is it, where is it and how bad is it?” to come up with an optimal treatment plan for surgical oncology patients. There are instances when a fine needle aspirate, incisional biopsy or excisional biopsy are most appropriate. Staging may involve lymph node aspirates or biopsy, thoracic radiographs, abdominal ultrasound or a CT scan — depending on the definitive or presumptive diagnosis. Each type of surgery for cancer can be thought of as a dose: intralesional, marginal, wide and radical. Each is appropriate in different circumstances, and wide or radical excisions require aggressive pain control. Multi-modal pain management strategies will be discussed.

Learning Objectives• How to take a biopsy and decide on the most effective method• How to decide what staging is most appropriate• How to decide on the most appropriate dose of surgery• Multimodal pain management strategies

Dr. Kerrie Lewis will cover the current literature on sedation, partial intravenous anesthesia (PIVA), total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and local blocks that can be useful tools in developing well-rounded analgesia and anesthesia protocols in our food animal species.

Learning Objectives• Drug regulations and withdrawal recommendation• Balanced anesthetic protocols

This two-hour lecture will focus on the gastrointestinal system from the esophagus to the colon, and it will include the secondary systems – biliary, pancreatic and lymph nodes. We will discuss techniques to optimize visualization of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) for evaluation of conditions such as hiatal hernia, esophageal reflux, gastric infiltrates and ulcers, pyloric and intestinal obstruction, and common bile duct insertion and obstruction. Clinical cases will be demonstrated for these conditions as well as intestinal infiltrates, inflammatory disease including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), lymphangiectasia, feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and vascular/infarctive disease. Localization and identification of associated lymph nodes will also be discussed as well as the differences between canine and feline examinations.

Learning Objectives• Review the gastrointestinal system • Learn techniques to optimize visualization of the GIT• Discuss range of GIT conditions using clinical cases• Discuss differences between canine and feline examinations

The landscape has changed. New technological advancements can now enable your practice to automate the insurance process and insure more clients. Learn how your practice information management system (“PIMS”) can integrate to access these solutions in Q4 of 2018.

Learn about the benefits of having an online boutique for your veterinary practice and your clients.

Pet fear, anxiety, and stress collectively represent the largest barrier to pet owners seeking veterinary care. The Fear Free℠ approach to healthcare creates a unique opportunity to build partnerships and trust with the pets for whom we provide care, and for the clients that we serve. We will explore the impact of fear, anxiety and stress on pet healthcare, pet owners, veterinary staff and on the veterinary business. After more than 20 years in practice, it finally happened — a healthcare model that benefits pets, people and the business!

Learning Objectives• Exploring the physiologic impact of fear, anxiety and stress on pets• Exploring the benefits of the fear free healthcare model for staff

and pet owners• Exploring the benefits of the fear free healthcare model from a

business perspective

Oral tumours are often picked up on dental prophylaxis — a great opportunity to do a thorough oral examination. If an oral mass is discovered during a dental exam, a systematic approach to management is recommended. This will include documenting the mass in the dental chart and with digital photography (plus or minus radiography). If possible, three-view thoracic radiographs should be taken during this visit as well as lymph node aspirates. An incisional biopsy is recommended to obtain a histopathological diagnosis. It is very important not to disrupt the mass. Because the oral cavity heals so quickly, it can be difficult to see where the mass was if it is shaved off the gingiva. For malignant oral tumours, mandibulecotmy or maxillectomy are recommended as part of surgical management. These procedures are well tolerated in dogs and even cats.

Learning Objectives• Many oral tumours are discovered at the time of dental

prophylaxis• A systematic approach to these tumours is important, especially

if they were found incidentally during a dental exam• This will include an incisional biopsy• Excisional biopsy is not recommended for oral tumours• In many cases, excision with mandibulectomy or maxillectomy is

feasible

With the ever-increasing focus on animal welfare, strategies to minimize pain and discomfort in food-producing animals are critical. Recently, there has been renewed interest and significant activity in the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in food animals. Veterinarians are reassessing how they use older NSAIDs due to novel formulations or routes of administration. New indications and food animal species are also being approved for these drugs. Many veterinarians routinely use NSAIDs for a variety of extra-label indications. However, despite many anecdotal reports of NSAID use in food animals, recent well-designed clinical trials have produced mixed results in terms of efficacy. This session will highlight recent studies evaluating NSAID use for a variety of food animal species and indications.

Learning Objectives• Provide veterinarians with current evidence for

(or against) NSAID use in a manner that can be easily shared with clients when discussing pain and analgesia options for their animals.

Do you ever get pet owners calling into the practice who just want to do price comparisons with all the potential clinics in the area that they may take their pet to? We call these “shoppers.” In this seminar you will learn how using a simple technique, you’ll be able to perfectly handle these ”shopper” clients and get them to choose your practice — turning them into clients for life!

There are two types of veterinary hospitals – busy ones and barely surviving ones. What do they both have in common? Both need a commitment from all staff to create a culture and environment that focuses on the pet’s emotional well-being to the same extent that it focuses on the pet’s physical well-being. Both need to address their patients’ fear, anxiety and stress in order to provide optimal healthcare, and in order to provide the best experience imaginable for pets, pet owners and veterinary staff. Learn how hospitals can step up their approach by addressing the fear, anxiety and stress issue head on by exploring strategies from the trenches of general practice. Using video examples from my practice, we will take a walk through the typical outpatient Fear Free℠ exam, and we will solve the most common challenges of the outpatient visit. It will change the way you practice.

The odds of feline injection site sarcomas (FISS) occurring in cats that receive injections is between one in 1,000 and one in 10,000. Vaccinations are often a cause of FISS because this is the most common injection given to cats and because many vaccines cause a local inflammatory reaction. In cats with FISS, the inflammatory process transforms and becomes neoplastic. FISS is an extremely aggressive tumour in cats, with local control being the biggest challenge. It is critical to recognize these tumours early and to do an incisional biopsy to determine the tumour type. An excisional biopsy should be avoided as it can make definitive surgery less effective and results in a much worse outcome. The current recommendation for treatment is to remove these masses with radical excision, which means five-centimetre radial margins and two fascial planes deep. Long-term success can be expected in most cases of FISS that receive radical excision and have clean margins. However, the metastatic rate is 25 per cent and this surgical approach is extremely aggressive. In patients where surgical excision is not feasible with such wide margins, radiation alone or surgery combined with radiation can be considered. Changes in vaccine site protocols are a critical piece of the treatment of FISS; vaccinating distally on the limb or on the tail will result in many more treatment options for these patients.

Learning Objectives• FISS occurs at injection sites and is likely related to

transformation of inflammatory tissue• FISS is an extremely aggressive sarcoma, and it is very locally

aggressive• An incisional biopsy should be performed for diagnosis• Excisional biopsy or a less aggressive surgery for this disease

should be avoided• We need to talk about vaccine sites!

This two-hour lecture will focus on the gastrointestinal system from the esophagus to the colon, and it will include the secondary systems – biliary, pancreatic and lymph nodes. We will discuss techniques to optimize visualization of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) for evaluation of conditions such as hiatal hernia, esophageal reflux, gastric infiltrates and ulcers, pyloric and intestinal obstruction, and common bile duct insertion and obstruction.

Learning Objectives• Review the gastrointestinal system • Learn techniques to optimize visualization

of the GIT• Discuss range of GIT conditions using clinical cases• Discuss differences between canine and feline examinations

11:00AM - 12:00PM

As every food animal veterinarian knows, drug use in food-producing animals can be more complicated than drug use in other species. Issues such as withdrawal periods, injection site reactions and in-feed medication can all present technical or logistical challenges. The use of antimicrobials in food animal species is also highly scrutinized. Drug labels often contain a myriad of data and warning statements, and yet the rationale behind this information is not always clear to veterinarians or their clients. This session will focus on some of the issues regarding food animal drug approval and use that are relevant to veterinarians, their clients and the public. Topics such as withdrawal period determination, antimicrobial warning statements, and label efficacy and safety data will be discussed. We will also discuss the approval process for generic veterinary drugs and compounded medications.

Learning Objectives• Provide veterinarians with brief, tangible answers when

addressing veterinary drug questions from clients or the public.

11:15AM - 12:15PM

During this lecture, we will review the awake and anesthetized oral exam in dogs and cats. We will use case-based examples to illustrate normal verses abnormal findings.

Learning Objectives• How to properly complete an awake and anesthetized

oral examination• Review of the normal oral examination in

dogs and cats• Common abnormal findings and treatment options• Tips to explain common dental conditions to improve

client compliance

There is currently an epidemic sweeping some areas where there is a lack of qualified applicants for staff positions in veterinary practices. Along with this comes the inevitable lowering of one’s standards to a “take what you can get” attitude and the resulting fallout from having a practice being run by people who are not really qualified to do the job well. In this seminar you will find out how to fix this and not only find staff for your practice but really good staff who will do the job right and well.

Dr. Kerrie Lewis will address new recommendations in fluid therapy with a glance into physics and pharmacology.

Learning Objectives• Starling’s laws of forces• The mysterious glycocalyx• Combination therapies in fluids

Fluid therapyDr. Kerrie Lewis, BS, DVM, MS, DACVAA

1:00PM - 2:00PM

Scours is common in calves. A proportion of calves will develop severe fluid and electrolyte imbalances that cannot be corrected by oral fluids. Intravenous (IV) fluid therapy for calves is simple and cost effective, and it can be done in any veterinary practice or even on farm.

Learning Objectives• Learn the basics of planning and administering fluid therapy to

scouring calves

Heavy fee increases can act to increase one’s profit on a short-term basis but will end up losing more clients in the long run. You reach the point of what they call in retail, “price resistance.” And even your good clients will have some resistance to a degree. This results in reckless fee increases without any regard for your median disposable income for your area. In this seminar, you’ll find out how you can achieve a fine balance in your fees (both front and back-end) so as to be both profitable and victorious in the long run.

Sharon Ellison’s communication model requires that we shift four things about how we talk to each other — intention, body language, tone of voice and technical skills — to move from communicating under the war model to the non-defensive model. By shifting these four things, we shift the way we ask questions from a place of innocent curiosity that prompts others to drop their defences and open up rather than entrap. We make statements to provide feedback that is non-judgmental. We express our own thoughts, feelings and beliefs instead of trying to convince others and stating our opinion as fact. We also make predictions that allow us to set boundaries with clear expectations rather than making threats.

Learning Objectives• To give feedback that lets the person know we understand their

“position” about the topic, and to share our own observations and feedback about the person’s feelings, beliefs and reasoning

• To give feedback in a way that shares our insights and position while being respectful of the other person’s humanity, regardless of how strongly we may disagree

• To express our own thoughts, feelings and beliefs in response to the person’s position in a way that is heartfelt and strong without trying to convince others to agree

• To let the power of our statement be inspirational rather than coercive by simply letting it stand alone and giving the other person an opportunity to consider — or not to consider — our words

Pre-anesthetic stabilization and risk assessmentDr. Kerrie Lewis, BS, DVM, MS, DACVAA

2:45PM - 3:45PM

Kidney disease can be challenging at times to diagnose. SDMA is a kidney test that helps to diagnose kidney disease early and is less impacted by nonrenal conditions. Using a case-based approach, we will review how you can leverage the IDEXX SDMA™ Test as an earlier and more reliable indicator of kidney function than traditional diagnostics. The cases will be used to illustrate the next steps that should be taken when SDMA is increased.

anesthesia?

Medical error is the third leading cause of death in the U.S., after heart disease and cancer. The mortality rate is estimated at over 250,000, and about 10 times that number of patients are injured due to errors by physicians, nurses and hospital systems. A major source of medical error is diagnostic failure, a significant part of which is how doctors think. This presentation looks at the processes doctors use to think, which are no different from how other people making decisions think – including veterinarians, dentists and other professionals.

Learning Objectives

• To gain an appreciation of the dominant model of decision making – dual process theory.

• To understand how cognitive biases may distort our decision making• To appreciate how the various components of adaptive reasoning

may improve clinical reasoning and decision making

This lecture will discuss how to diagnose and treat the disease as well as what causes feline hypertension and what technology to use for the condition. It will also cover where you can expect to find hypertension and where is the cut-off blood pressure that needs to be treated. Although blood pressure measurement is a must-have in practice, it is challenging to get a definitive answer using the technologies available to measure it as well as our patients.

Learning Objectives• How to diagnose and treat feline hypertension• What causes feline hypertension?• What technology is used for feline hypertension?• Where can you expect to find feline hypertension?• Where is the cut-off blood pressure that needs to be treated for feline

hypertension?

What makes the veterinary dermatologist successful? Part of it is their strict adherence to the mantra of “dermatology-due-diligence in virtually every patient” – deciding on the best treatment based on routine diagnostic tests. This lecture will review the standard diagnostic tests that one should be able to perform in any veterinary facility. It will also offer some hints on how to increase diagnostic accuracy when collecting and evaluating the samples.

Learning Objectives• Learn where and how to take the best samples for skin cytology

and scrapings• Learn collection tricks for bacterial culture, fungal culture/PCR and

what the results mean• Learn how the dermatologist chooses sites for skin biopsy and how

the site is prepared• Learn about testing for food allergies

This follows on from yesterday’s presentation on medical mistakes. It has been established that one of the principal mistakes in medicine is diagnostic failure — a major part of which is the intrusion of bias into clinical decision making. This presentation looks at how bias works and how it can affect all domains of human decision making including that of scientists and veterinarians.

Learning Objectives• To gain an appreciation of the range and complexity of both

cognitive and affective biases• To understand where and how biases operate within the human

decision making model• To appreciate bias may be mitigated and review some of the major

strategies.

These two sessions will focus on the so-called “problem broodmare.” The discussion will include the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of persistent mating induced endometritis (PMIE), along with breeding strategies to enhance success rates in these mares.

Learning Objectives: • Discuss what constitutes a “problem broodmare” • Discuss persistent mating induced endometritis (PMIE)• Discuss strategies for enhancing breeding success rates in the

“problem broodmare”

Canine diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus that primary care veterinarians encounter in practice. A number of insulin protocols exist including intravenous, intramuscular and subcutaneous. There are pros and cons to each approach. We will discuss these options to help provide practical options for busy general practitioners. We will also discuss electrolyte management and underlying sources of insulin resistance.

Learning Objectives• To review insulin protocols for canine DKA• To understand the advantages and disadvantages of different

routes of insulin administration• To review electrolyte management• To review underlying sources of insulin resistance

The first two weeks of a puppy’s life are referred to as the neonatal period. Neonates have very different physiological mechanisms at play compared to adults. These processes govern the diseases to which they are susceptible and guide treatment. This lecture will review the neonatal puppy’s unique physiology with a special focus on the “four hypos” — hypoxia, hypovolemia, hypothermia and hypoglycemia — that can occur and how to treat them

Pruritus is the most common presenting complaint in dogs, accounting for 30 to 40 per cent of skin-related visits to small animal veterinarians. Many are diagnosed with allergies. We have come a long way since we called this disease “AIDS” (allergic inhalant dermatitis). A solid grasp of the pathomechanism of allergic dermatitis and the method of action behind the products used to treat it are crucial to success. Dr. Waisglass will review our current understanding of this disease with emphasis on some of the novel approaches and how they work, to help treat this most frustrating of conditions.

Learning Objectives• Learn the multimodal approach to this most

frustrating disease• Learn about the treatment of atopic dermatitis based on the

recommendations of the International Task Force on Canine Atopic Dermatitis (2010) the updated 2015 guidelines from the International Committee on Allergic Diseases of Animals (ICADA)

It is important that we keep attuned to the possibility of these immune diseases in our day-to-day practice as a more rapid intervention typically leads to a more rapid resolution. On the other hand, over diagnosis of immune-mediated disease leading to immunosuppressive treatment of a patient with a poorly-responsive parasitic, bacterial or fungal disease could be disastrous! The purpose of this lecture is to familiarize the practitioner with the more commonly seen immune diseases.

Learning Objectives• Learn to recognize and treat some of the more common immune-

mediated skin diseases one is sure to see in a small animal general practice setting

• Learn about immune disease mimicry

Respiratory distress is readily identifiable but evaluating the respiratory pattern and localizing the disease is often the most challenging aspect for most clinicians. During this lecture, we will discuss the five common causes of respiratory distress and how they present clinically. Using this framework helps clinicians formulate plans for basic emergency stabilization.

Learning Objectives• Evaluate and localize respiratory disease• Use the five common causes of respiratory distress as a conceptual

framework in emergency situations• Understand how this framework facilitates basic stabilization and

diagnostic plans

In practice, we are often confronted with a cough as the major presenting sign. The presentation will focus on how to differentiate between airway and cardiac issues.

The liver is a central component in the vast majority of the body’s biochemical processes, immune surveillance, drug metabolism, and biliary function. It is not surprising that the liver is susceptible to metabolic derangement, infectious and inflammatory agents, biliary dysfunction, hypoperfusion, and hypoxia, as well as being sensitive to maladies throughout the rest of the patient. Attempting to efficiently and effectively identify specific liver diseases can, therefore, be quite challenging. This presentation will briefly examine time-tested strategies and new possibilities in the diagnostic work-up of liver disease in dogs and cats.

Some liver conditions (e.g. single, extra-hepatic portosystemic shunt) can be successfully treated with little more than a chewing gum wrapper (i.e. cellophane band), while other liver diseases require a complex combination of anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, choleretic, chelating, and antioxidant medications. This presentation will briefly review standard treatments, introduce newer treatment strategies, and examine the theory behind the practical use of various “liver-friendly” nutraceuticals.

The human-pet bond is stronger than ever and pet spending continues to go up every year. And yet veterinary visits have declined in the past 10 years. In part, this is because people have many choices for pet care and have become more cautious consumers. Unfortunately, another major factor is that pet owners still don’t fully understand the value of regular veterinary visits. In this dynamic, interactive program, Dr. Donnelly teaches teams how to maximize the opportunity during every client interaction to create an exceptional experience and help pets get the care they deserve. Audiences learn how to be seen as a trusted adviser in today’s marketplace and build client loyalty before, during and after visits. Participants will learn how to focus on client engagement and client education to improve client retention and increase word of mouth referrals. They’ll walk away knowing specific communication skills and action steps that the whole team can immediately apply in order to create lasting impressions with pet owners, increase client visits, and improve compliance with wellness and treatment plan recommendations.

Learning Objectives• How to use specific communication skills to increase client

engagement• How to improve client education which increases compliance• How to create an exceptional client service experience

There is a growing body of evidence indicating that horses, much like cats and dogs before them, are suffering from widespread obesity. For predisposed breeds and types of horses, being obese may put them at further risk of developing equine metabolic syndrome (EMS). This session will review the most recent theories on the pathophysiology of EMS as well as current diagnostic approaches and treatment/management recommendations. Current research investigating novel biomarkers for the diagnosis of EMS will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives• What is the pathophysiology behind EMS?• What is new in the diagnosis of EMS?• What is new in the treatment of EMS?• Is EMS preventable?

In theory, equine nutrition should be simple: free-choice access to a good quality pasture or hay, accompanied by access to salt and water, are all that most horses need. In reality the equine veterinarian knows it is almost never that simple. These two sessions will review nutritional basics that are important when making dietary recommendations, such as daily requirements for different classes of horses, voluntary feed intake and balancing for common deficiencies or excesses. These sessions will also highlight Dr. Robinson’s approach to taking a nutritional history and the interpretation of hay analyses. We will also review the feeding behaviour of horses to help attendees make best practice recommendations for their clients.

Learning Objectives• What are the basic nutritional requirements for horses?• How do we balance the diet to account for deficiency or excess?• How to take a nutritional history• Basic interpretation of a hay nutrient analysis• Feeding practices based on equine behaviour

LifeLearn is dedicated to helping companies and organizations in the animal health marketplace realize the value of knowledge through expertise, solutions, and partnerships that advance animal health worldwide. Our history began as part of the Ontario Veterinary College’s continuing education department at the University of Guelph. In 1994, after the department had closed, our founders teamed up to keep the popular courses going, and to evolve them using cutting-edge technologies. Our early days were devoted to delivering continuing education programs for veterinarians across North America. Our initial goal was to help veterinarians keep up to date with medical and surgical knowledge and skills through distance learning (e-learning) technologies. Over time, we’ve expanded our offerings to encompass solutions for veterinary practices, as well as companies and non-profit organizations in the animal health industry. This has included delivering education resources for veterinary teams and pet owners; helping veterinary teams with online marketing, client communications, and business optimization tools; and providing leading technologies and best practices that enhance bottom line results and improve pet healthcare outcomes. Today, we’re driven by the concept of knowledge leadership, towards helping like-minded individuals and animal health companies who share our values leverage the ongoing investments they make in research, education and information technology. Together we strive to strengthen the value of knowledge by truly seeing it realized.
