SUMMARY:CASCAR Zoom Call for California Shelters - 4/6/21 - The Next Phase  - CASCAR - UC Davis KSMP
DESCRIPTION:Well y’all\, it’s been a year and what a year it’s been! A couple of weeks ago there were a bunch of articles around the one year-ish anniversary and this line from one Fast Time’s article really struck me: \nYou will never unlearn the things you now know about yourself\, about how you handle an emergency and what you can withstand. \nThat’s certainly been true when it comes to our amazing California shelter colleagues. We always knew you were a fantastic group of humans\, but honestly\, when we started meeting as a group it would have been hard to imagine either the challenges that awaited us or how creative and resilient we would turn out to be. \nAs we enter the next phase\, we here at CASCAR central are wondering how we can turn that creativity and resilience towards sustaining the positive changes that have come out of the pandemic and meet the challenges associated with re-opening and recovery. \nLet’s talk about it at your next CASCAR call at the NEW TIME of 1:00 on the first and third TUESDAYS. \nWe hope some new folks or folks who used to come can join at this new time and also hope many of our regulars can make it. (We are always open to your feedback on time by the way.) We wanted to keep this upcoming Tuesday’s call as more of a discussion as we’ve got ACC coming up with plenty o’ content and we suspect your content cups will already be quite full 😉 \nCASCAR room link: https://sheltermedicine.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJQtdO-srDItyMz7xy-ZsncbcFa6s8kKZg

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/8/21 - Build Short Term Foster Programs to Reduce Kennel Stress and Increase Adoptions: Staycations and Daycations - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse

SUMMARY:Online Course - Open 4/13/21 to 5/7/21 - Responsible Antimicrobial Use 2021 - VIN (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing problem in both human and veterinary medicine. Whenever an antimicrobial is used\, it inadvertently selects for resistance by killing or inhibiting sensitive bacteria and leaving behind resistant organisms. As a result\, medicines become ineffective and infections persist\, increasing hospital times\, cost and morbidity. Inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to superbugs that are difficult or impossible to treat with our current antibiotic options. This course will discuss the mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance\, the use of “best” practices to avoid the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance. \nPresenters: Peter Foley\, MSc\, DVM\, DACVIM (SAIM)\nSandra McConkey\, DVM\, PhD\, Diplomate ACVP\nCourse Open: April 13-May 7\, 2021\nReal Time Sessions (RTS): Tuesdays\, April 20 and 27\, 2021; 8:00-10:00 pm ET (USA) World Clock Converter\nTotal CE Credit: 4\nRACE Category: 4 hours Medical \nLearning Objectives:\nUpon completion of the course\, the participant should be able to \n\nunderstand the importance of preventing antimicrobial resistance.\ncescribe what resistance (including multi-drug resistance) is\, how and why it occurs\, and when antimicrobial use is required.\nexplain empirical vs rational choice of antimicrobials.\nexplain how to get the most information out of an MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) result.\nidentify when and which antimicrobials are appropriate for small animal diseases\, including the following scenarios.\n\nperioperative antibiotic use\nurinary tract infections\nmiscellaneous infectious diseases\n\n\n\nLevel and Prerequisites: This basic VIN CE course is open for enrollment to veterinarians and veterinary students actively interested in antimicrobial resistance stewardship.\nAccreditation: This course is approved for 4 hours of continuing education credit by RACE for veterinarians.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/15/21 - Permission\, Not Permissive - Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how to be positive in your training and relationship with dogs\, and yet not end up just being run over or dragged here & there? \nIt can be really challenging to find the balance between positive and pushover.

Dogs appreciate the clarification! And you’ll learn how to be fair and consistent without having to harden your heart\, deprive or ignore your dog. \nWe’ll cover: \n\nExplicit\, implicit or complicit?\nWhat does your dog believe?\nSetting boundaries & non-negotiables\nCompromise & criteria\nNow/not now exercises\n\nIt can be so disheartening to hear a trainer tell you\, “Oh you’re just too soft on that dog” or “Just make him do it” or “Never say NO!” Confusing\, isn’t it? It doesn’t have to be. Empathy\, compassion\, clarity and compromise should not be dirty words in dog training. \nThis webinar is going to give you the tools to find the right balance for you and your dog while strengthening the relationship.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/16/21 - An Evidenced-Based Comparison: Alfaxalone vs. Propofol - Think Anesthesia
DESCRIPTION:Think Anesthesia® live\, interactive webinar\, An Evidenced-Based Comparison: Alfaxalone vs. Propofol\, presented by Amanda M. Shelby\, VTS (Anesthesia & Analgesia) on Friday\, April 16th\, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. PDT | 12 p.m. CDT | 1:00 p.m. EDT provides the audience an evidence-based review of literature comparing the chemical/pharmacological properties of alfaxalone and propofol and the clinically appreciable similarities and differences. The presentation compares these two common induction and maintenance agents in healthy patient populations within on-label applications and explores more diverse patient populations or patients with co-morbidities that may require anesthesia. Upon completion participants should have sufficient literature-based evidence to best select the appropriate induction agent for their patient and clinical situation. \nThis presentation is RACE approved for 1 CE credit for both veterinarians and technicians. \nFollowing the live presentation\, an on-demand version of this webinar will be available at www.thinkanesthesia.education/on-demand. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.thinkanesthesia.education/live-webinar/2021/03/think-anesthesiar-an-evidenced-based-comparison-alfaxalone-vs-propofol

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/19/21 - Identifying Need for Spay/Neuter Services in Massachusetts: A GIS-based Analysis - Massachusetts Animal Coalition
DESCRIPTION:About the meeting:  Please join us for a presentation about a method for assessing need for spay and neuter resources using GIS (Geographic Information Systems). \nIntroduction:  A needs assessment for spay and neuter resources in Massachusetts. \nCameron Carow will present the results of a GIS-based analysis of need for spay and neuter resources in the state of Massachusetts. This project demonstrates how GIS can be utilized to combine spatial\, socioeconomic and demographic data to identify regions with significant need for spay and neuter resources. This analysis was designed to support MAC as it reassesses the “I am Animal Friendly” License Plate Grant program.  This will help MAC members and friends understand how these findings reflect what is happening in your part of Massachusetts and it will provide us with the information that we all need in order to refine our own spay and neuter efforts. \nWEBSITE LINK:  http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=dmv5lydab&oeidk=a07ehpwnkvie7c45a14
