Amanda is the director of Pets for Life and Ashley is the policy and enforcement reform manager for Pets for Life and a former humane law enforcement officer in PA. \nIf you have the time we’d encourage you to listen to this podcast on the history of American policing. If you don’t have the time to listen before rounds don’t worry one bit\, there will still be plenty of value to these discussions without having heard this podcast. \nhttps://www.npr.org/2020/06/06/871447408/bonus-american-police \nHere is the recording from today’s rounds: Anti-racism in your organization discussion \nDiscussion to share your ideas\, commitments\, and programs you have or are putting in place to work towards anti-racism in your organization.

At all times at the box link below my signature you can access recordings\, various resources shared and a document where I save the links shared in the chat from each rounds. I’ve attached the document of the links shared in the chat here for easy access today. \n\n\nThank you for so many of you joining us for these engaging discussions! \nStephanie Koester\, CVT \nAssistant Director\, Shelter Medicine Program \nUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine \nnationalsheltermedicinerounds@vetmed.wisc.edu \nRounds related documents\, recordings\, and details can be accessed here at any time. \n  \nCOVID-19 Rounds info: \nWe will be more regularly offering National Shelter Medicine Rounds short term to discuss COVID-19 impacts on shelter medicine on Tuesdays from 3-4pm CT (1pmPT/2pmMT/4pmET)  and Thursdays from 2-3pm CT (12pmPT/1pmMT/3pmET). You are welcome to email questions or topics you hope to be discussed during rounds in advance to nationalsheltermedicinerounds@vetmed.wisc.edu and you are always encouraged to come prepared to unmute to ask questions and participate in discussion at any point.

SUMMARY:Online Course - 6/9/20 - Common Soft Tissue Surgery Procedures - IVS
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Topics:\n\nLecture 1:   Intestinal anastomosis – tips to make it easier\nWhen performing an intestinal resection and anastomosis by yourself (i.e.\, no assistant to help!) I have several tips that may make the procedure easier for you. I will suggest a number of alternative techniques that you can consider incorporating that will likely make this common procedure easier and more predictably successful. Video of clinical cases will be used to illustrate these techniques. \n  \nLecture 2:   Surgical management of canine cystic and urethral calculi\nA ‘never fail’ technique for retropulsion of calculi lodged in the urethra of male dogs will be presented. What is your worst cystic calculi nightmare……leaving a stone behind after your cystotomy! This lecture will describe a unique protocol that will eliminate the possibility of leaving a stone behind. Video of clinical cases will be used to illustrate this protocol. \n  \nLecture 3:   Anal sacculectomy: a novel approach\nAnal sacculectomy is frequently performed in veterinary practice. It can be tricky to get all of the anal sac epithelium and preserve the external anal sphincter muscle and caudal rectal nerve. I will suggest a ‘novel’ technique that allows the surgeon full control of the perianal anatomy and thus preservation of all vital structures during complete anal sac resection. Video showing this technique in a clinical case will illustrate its potential usefulness in your practice. \n  \nSurgical management of brachycephalic syndrome\nThis session will discuss the management of upper airway obstruction in brachycephalic breeds. Emphasis will be placed on nasoplasty and soft palate resection. A novel technique for nasal planum resection will be discussed.  There is compelling evidence suggesting that not all everted laryngeal saccules need to be resected! Videotape will be used to illustrate surgical techniques. \n  \nLecture 4:   Surgical repair of diaphragmatic hernia\nThis session will discuss the three most common types of diaphragmatic hernia; acute traumatic\, chronic traumatic\, and congenital peritoneopericardial and how they can be repaired. Video of clinical cases will be used to illustrate techniques used to surgically repair each type of hernia. Management of chronic atelectatic lung lobes and the incidence of re-expansion pulmonary edema will be discussed. \n  \nLecture 5:   Feline subtotal colectomy\nSubtotal colectomy for the treatment of megacolon in cats is no longer considered a salvage procedure. This session is designed to describe\, in detail\, the authors’ preferred technique for subtotal colectomy. Video of a clinical case will be used to illustrate the authors’ tricks on how to make the technique easier to perform and more predictably successful. \n  \nFeline perineal urethrostomy – a novel approach\nFeline perineal urethrostomy has classically been approached with the patient placed in a perineal position. Although this positioning is awkward for the surgeon it has become the standard approach. This lecture will suggest taking another look at patient positioning. Placing the cat in dorsal recumbancy allows for a much more ‘ergonomic’ approach for the surgeon and enhances visualization of the regional anatomy. In addition\, this positioning allows access to the patients’ urinary bladder. Video of this novel approach will be used to illustrate the advantages of dorsal recumbancy positioning. \n\n\n\n\n\nSeminar Schedule:\nLecture 1: \n10:00am  Pacific\n1:00pm  Eastern \nLecture 2: \n11:00am  Pacific\n2:00pm  Eastern \nLecture 3: \nnoon  Pacific\n3:00pm  Eastern \nLecture 4: \n1:00pm  Pacific\n4:00pm  Eastern \nLecture 5: \n2:00pm  Pacific\n5:00pm  Eastern \nThere will be short breaks at the end of each lecture.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHOWARD SEIM III D.V.M.\nDiplomate\, American College of Veterinary Surgeons\nProfessor of Surgery\nColorado State University \n\n\n\n\n\nCE Hours\n\nThis program has been submitted for 5 hours of continuing education credit in jurisdictions\, which recognize AAVSB’s RACE approval; however\, participants should be aware that some boards have limitations on the number of hours accepted in certain categories and /or restrictions on certain methods of delivery of continuing education.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 6/4/20 - Welcome Back to Business As Unusual: Practicing Tomorrow’s Veterinary Medicine Today - Fear Free & Virox
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Marty Becker\, Founder of Fear Free\, and Teresa Mariscal\, Veterinary Technician \nIt’s been said that the only person who likes change is a four-month-old baby with a wet diaper. While true for many\, the most successful veterinary healthcare professionals look at change as a way to “repot their practice\,” so to speak: to cut away dead growth (can be lethargic\, uncommitted employees)\, replenish the soil (new programs and protocols)\, and facilitate new growth and the bearing of fruit (lower turnover\, new bonded clients\, more frequent visits\, higher profits). \nCOVID has forced change in veterinary practice more dramatically and faster than anything in our memories or experience. Telemedicine seemed so far off and now most of us are using it in some capacity. Some of us dreamed of just seeing pets without their people\, and those dreams have come true! All joking aside\, we can now see how pets respond when mom and dad aren’t in the building with them. We’re discovering new efficiencies we never thought possible. In this webinar you’ll learn how to be forward thinking\, creative\, adaptive\, compassionate\, efficient\, and healthy (physically and emotionally) while delivering the kind of veterinary care that will have pet parents coming in more often and referring others to taste for themselves. Welcome to “business as unusual” or “returning to business as abnormal” as we embrace the change thrust upon us and harness it for growth. \nJoin us for this free webinar on Thursday\, June 4\, at 2 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) Time. \nBrought to you by Virox Animal Health. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://event.webinarjam.com/register/93/yyl75t54
