SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/28/21 - Continuing the Conversation on "The Lives and Deaths of Shelter Animals": A Q&A with Katja M. Guenther - American Pets Alive!
DESCRIPTION:As Human Animal Support Services moves our effort toward community involvement\, what can social justice and racial justice movements teach us to help people and animals together? How can we ground ourselves in a future of animal sheltering that believes “the project for justice for animals requires justice for people and vice versa? \nJoin us January 28 at 5pm CST to continue our conversation with Katja M. Guenther\, Ph.D. In this Q&A based webinar\, we will continue to unpack Guenther’s latest work\, “The Lives and Deaths of Shelter Animals.” An essential book for anyone working in animal shelters and Human Animal Support Services\, Guenther writes about her vision for the “Humane Communities Revolution.” Linking animal sheltering to human ideas about race\, class\, gender\, ability\, and species\, Guenther explores internal hierarchies\, breed discrimination\, resistance\, and agency. \nLet’s dive even deeper into this incredible book. Submit your questions ahead of time to webinars@americanpetsalive.org for a thought-provoking conversation with professor and author\, Katja M. Guenther. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://bit.ly/3bFBTTT

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/3/21 - Confronting Conflict with Teams - Banfield
DESCRIPTION:Conflict is something that\, as much as we try\, we cannot avoid because conflict is comes up anytime your view differs from another’s — and humans are opinionated beings. While most of us have a strong reactions to conflict\, including (but not limited to) fear; avoidance; and/or dread\, conflict can also have positive impacts. It can allow for exploration of new and different ways of doing things resulting in better outcomes. When we think of the negatives of conflict it’s because of the emotions that conflict evokes — often making situations feel explosive. By learning how to step up to conflict and confronting it head on by using the right approach\, you can turn conflict into a positive for both you and your team. \nDate: February 3\nTime:  9:00 – 10:30am PST\nCourse Timing: 1.5 hour virtual session with 15 minute pre-work (RACE approved) \nThis session will help you: \n\nDefine the five modes of handling conflict; competing\, collaborating\, avoiding\, accommodating\nHelp you understand how to identify the best mode for various situations to produce a positive experience\nIdentify where you may or may not be flexing your approach to conflict in a current team situation to determine what approach would be best to get you a positive outcome\n\nWhen we step up to conflict\, instead of away from it\, and take the right approach we can change our perception and\, ultimately\, end in a better place than we are today. \nJoin us for the conversation! \n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://app.jobvite.com/TalentNetwork/action/campaign/w/Nzc3MzA

Allergic skin diseases are common problems in canine patients\, and many of the clinical presentations are similar which can make these cases frustrating. This lecture will focus on the allergic workup\, acute treatment of pruritus\, and client communication. \nHow to conquer the itchy cat \nDifferent categories of feline allergies can be difficult to differentiate from one another.  Understanding the different patterns of cutaneous lesions\, response to treatment\, and management of secondary issues is important for control.This lecture will present how to differentiate and perform a diagnostic workup for flea\, food\, and environmental allergies in cats. \nDiagnosing otitis the right way \nManaging difficult otitis externa cases in cats and dogs can be challenging\, chronic\, and frustrating. This lecture will discuss a complete approach to the diagnostic workup of otitis externa including cytology\, culture and sensitivity\, handheld otoscopy\, and video otoscopy. \nFrom ear drops to pills: how to effectively treat otitis externa and media \nChoosing appropriate ear cleansers and initial therapeutics can be imperative in defeating micro-organisms. However\, systemic therapy can also be used to help alleviate discomfort and treat infection in complicated cases. This is especially true when disease extends deeper than the external ear canal.
