SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/4/21 - Avoiding Teeth and Bullets: Safely Interacting with Animals as a Law Enforcement Officer - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:From dogs and cats to wildlife and livestock\, law enforcement personnel often encounter animals on a weekly\, if not daily basis. The challenges of carrying out law enforcement duties when there is an animal component can be challenging\, stressful and dangerous. Understanding things like animal behavior and body language\, as well as various control techniques can make these instances safer and allow law enforcement to carry out the task at hand. Whether the assigned call for duty is directly related to the animal or the animal is peripheral\, understanding some basic animal handling techniques and animal behavior can be the difference between closing out a call and moving on to the next or ending up in the emergency room. \nOr click here to view and register for other upcoming NACA  webinars on the JCH Platform. \n\n \nThe National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) was formed in 1978 for the express purpose of assisting its members to perform their duties in a professional manner. We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership. \n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\n \nChris Brosan is the Chief of Humane Law Enforcement for the Department of Animal Services in Loudoun County\, Virginia. He has been with the department for eight years\, is a former police officer\, and spent two and a half years as Manager of Strategic Campaigns and Special Projects with the Humane Society of the United States. With HSUS he traveled the country training law enforcement\, in 10 states and across the islands of Puerto Rico and Vieques\, on how to investigate animal cruelty\, the connection between animal abuse and human violence\, and navigating police and canine encounters. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/avoiding-teeth-and-bullets-safely-interacting-with-animals-as-a-law-enforcement-officer/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/11/21 - Pet Friendly Domestic Violence Shelters: Creating a pet-friendly program that works for your community - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to take a deeper dive and learn how to create a program to help domestic violence survivors and their pets find safety and healing together? This webinar will focus on overcoming barriers to creating pet-friendly programs by focusing on collaboration and thoughtful program planning. We’ll discuss fundraising\, construction\, and policies and procedures for both on-site and off-site programs\, and attendees will leave with concrete next steps. This webinar is intended for domestic violence and animal shelter representatives\, veterinarians\, and anyone else interested in supporting a pet-friendly program in their community. \n  \n\n \n  \nThe National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) was formed in 1978 for the express purpose of assisting its members to perform their duties in a professional manner. We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership. \n  \n  \nThis webinar was pre-approved for 1 CEU credit by the National Advocate Credentialing Program (NACP)® and the DoD Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program (D-SAACP).  Founded in 1975\, the National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA) is the oldest national victim assistance organization of its type in the United States and is the recognized leader in victim advocacy\, education and credentialing.  To learn more about NOVA\, visit trynova.org. \n  \n\n  \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n \nKatie Campbell is the Outreach Manager for RedRover and has worked with nonprofits for 10-plus years. During this time she has worked with diverse communities across racial\, ethnic\, and economic lines in positions ranging from front line service to management roles.  She has worked closely with survivors of domestic violence\, as well as other individuals at risk\, and with many nonprofits serving these communities. Katie is a firm believer that more can be accomplished when organizations work together and with the community rather than in silos. \nKatie’s educational background includes an M.A. in Sociology from Sacramento State University\, which she credits with furthering her passion for listening and learning from others.  Her work at RedRover brings together two of her greatest passions: working with people and supporting the welfare of animals. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/pet-friendly-domestic-violence-shelters-creating-a-pet-friendly-program-that-works-for-your-community/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/13/21 - Using Fear Free Principles to Improve Anesthetic Safety in Complicated Patients - Fear Free
DESCRIPTION:Decreasing fear\, anxiety\, stress (FAS)\, and pain leads to safer anesthesia by allowing a lower dose of sedative and anesthetic drugs needed for anesthesia premedication\, induction\, maintenance\, and recovery. Lower drug dosages are especially critical in complicated patients with underlying disease and physiologic compromise. In this discussion Dr. Tamara Grubb will explore the role of Fear Free principles in anesthetic safety\, especially in the compromised/complicated patient. \nAttendees will:\n1. Review the physiologic/pathologic impact of fear\, anxiety\, stress\, pain and anesthesia on the patient.\n2. Understand how these physiologic/pathologic impacts can magnify pathologic changes of select diseases\, increasing the likelihood of anesthetic adverse effects.\n3. Learn how to incorporate Fear Free principles into anesthetic protocols to improve anesthetic safety for complicated patients. \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Tamara Grubb is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia & Analgesia with a strong focus in pain management. She owns an anesthesia/analgesia/continuing education consulting practice that serves both small and large animals (VetAACE). Dr. Grubb is a national/international educator and lecturer\, a certified acupuncturist\, an Adjunct Professor of Anesthesia & Analgesia at Washington State\, a Fear Free Certified Practitioner\, and on the International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management’s (IVAPM) Board of Directors. She is co-author of two books\, including “Veterinary Anesthesia & Pain Management for Nurses & Technicians.” Dr. Grubb’s favorite achievement is winning the Distinguished Teaching Award at two universities. \nThis program has been submitted (but not yet approved) for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize AAVSB RACE approval. \nBrought to you by Zoetis Petcare. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_WkGmleG3S_2DujNU_mFWcw

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/13/21 - Broken Connection: Why Your Dog Loses Focus with Nicole Wiebusch - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Does your dog disconnect from you during training? Would you like some ideas on how to fix and prevent disconnection? Having a training plan and systematically working your way through increasing criteria\, distractions\, and generalization can go a long way toward reducing disconnection. \nDuring this webinar we will define disconnection and discuss common reasons that dogs disconnect from their handlers. We’ll talk about how to figure out why dogs disconnect\, and we’ll cover ways to fix it and prevent further disconnection in the future. You will be shown video examples of several different scenarios in which the dog disconnected and we’ll talk through what likely happened. You will come away with a better understanding of why dogs disconnect and what you can do about it. \nNote: this webinar will not cover extremely fearful dogs. That in itself is a complicated subject and there are other classes at FDSA that are better equipped for helping your fearful dog. \nThis is a repeat webinar. Please check your webinar library before purchasing. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

This discussion will concentrate primarily on non-healing corneal ulcerations in dogs\, and will present a practical approach to making the correct corneal diagnosis and choosing the best therapy to produce a successful outcome. \nCanine Dry Eye – What’s next when cyclosporine fails? \nTreatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS)\, or “dry eye” in dogs has made incredible strides over the last few decades\, principally due to the success of medications like topical cyclosporine. However\, there are those canine patients that just don’t respond to topical therapy\, resulting in frustrated owners and doctors and squinty\, unhappy patients. In this hour\, we’ll review not only routine management of KCS but also focus on those patients that are refractory to treatment\, specifically addressing special considerations in examination and assessment of those cases\, exploring possible underlying causes\, and how to best approach them therapeutically. \nFeline conjunctivitis – A common conundrum \nConjunctivitis is one of the most common ophthalmic conditions affecting cats; and as we know\, infectious causes are always at the top of our differential list.  However\, distinguishing one infectious etiology from another can be very difficult as clinical signs are often non-specific.  Furthermore\, despite an ever-expanding menu of ophthalmic infectious assays at commercial and academic laboratories\, diagnostic tests remain difficult and ambiguous to interpret.  This lecture will review the infectious causes of feline conjunctivitis\, discuss the diagnostic approach to each\, and explore the numerous available therapies and their respective advantages and disadvantages\, taken from the most current literature. \nCataracts in dogs and cats – Caring for the cloudy eye \nCataracts are a very common cause of vision loss in dogs and\, while less common\, can also lead to vision impairment in cats.  To date\, the definitive treatment for cataract in any species is surgical removal using phacoemulsification.  Over the past 10-15 years\, however\, there has been an explosion of advertisement and scientific publication touting medical therapies for cataracts.  On its face\, these drops and supplements appear to offer a miraculous “magic bullet”\, sparing pets and owners the cost and hassle of surgery.  But are these therapies the “real deal”?  This hour will explore this question\, while also reviewing the approach to diagnosis of cataracts in animals as well as the most common causes\, the approach to surgical candidacy\, and the current standards-of-care in cataract surgery and peri- and postoperative considerations. \nThrough the looking glass\, Part 1 – Examination of the anterior segment in animals \nExamination of the eye can be intimidating for a number of reasons\, not the least of which is the complexity and diversity of its tiny structures.  Furthermore\, the structures that comprise the anterior portion of the eye in cats are largely clear and lie in direct apposition to one another\, making localization of lesions in the front of the eye very confusing.  However\, by using an organized approach armed with the correct instrumentation and the necessary tools and techniques\, assessment of the anterior structures of the eye can be much easier and maybe even fun!  This lecture will focus on techniques and tips for examination of the anterior segment\, focusing on the cornea\, anterior chamber (and aqueous humor)\, iris\, and lens. \nUntangling uveitis in small animals  – After diagnosing a dog or cat with uveitis\, the practitioner is presented with two concurrent challenges; to determine the cause (if possible)\, and to suppress intraocular inflammation and mitigate uveitis’ potentially blinding complications. In some cases\, the cause of uveitis may be obvious (i.e. following trauma)\, but in many cases\, the ophthalmic manifestations are ambiguous and difficult to interpret. This discussion seeks to demystify the approach to clinical diagnosis of uveitis in small animals\, and elucidate guidelines for treatment\, management\, and formulation of a prognosis. \nUnder pressure – Getting a grip on glaucoma – Glaucoma is one of the most frustrating ophthalmic diseases to manage and treat in veterinary medicine\, causing not only pain for affected animals\, but the inevitable consequence of irreversible blindness without swift treatment. Furthermore\, determination of an underlying cause and formulation of a treatment plan can be confusing at least partially due to the large number of available topical and systemic drugs. This in-depth look at glaucoma seeks to provide the small animal practitioner with a practical perspective on tonometry and diagnosis of glaucoma\, current standards and best practices for treatment in dogs and cats\, and how to approach prognosis in affected animals. \nRolling with Entropion  – Entropion is commonly encountered in dogs and cats and can be painful in addition to causing corneal scarring\, vascularization\, and even corneal rupture and loss of vision. There are numerous anatomical and conformational factors that may contribute to entropion in both species. Therefore\, the best surgical approach to entropion is to carefully consider such factors and choose a surgical technique accordingly.  This will minimize the chance for recurrence and maximize postoperative success. This surgical discussion will review the anatomical factors that predispose to entropion in dogs and cats\, and review the key surgical approaches that can be used for correction in both species. \nWhen It’s Time To Enucleate … – Eyes that have been blinded by disease and carry the long-term potential to cause pain in an animal are candidates for enucleation. Before gowning up for surgery\, however\, it’s important for any practitioner to know the safest surgical technique for removing the diseased eye\, and to understand the periocular and orbital anatomy.  Furthermore\, awareness of local anesthetic block techniques and other anesthetic considerations will serve to ensure a smooth and uneventful recovery.  This surgical discussion will provide the practitioner with a comprehensive approach to pertinent preoperative\, intraoperative\, and postoperative considerations when performing enucleations\, as well as the advantages and disadvantages associated with different surgical techniques. \nThrough the looking glass\, Part II – Examination of the posterior segment in animals \nThe eye’s posterior segment is an enigma to many practitioners as assessment of structures like the retina and optic nerve poses unique challenges.  However\, examination of these posterior structures is not only critical to accurate diagnosis and treatment of ocular diseases\, but may also provide insight regarding neurologic and even non-ophthalmic systemic disease.  Without a doubt\, examination of the posterior segment is a challenging skill that takes practice.  However\, knowing how and when to use the right equipment and techniques\, and better understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each\, the practitioner can refine their skills and become quite adept at posterior segment examination in a relatively short period of time. This hour will be spent reviewing the structures of the posterior segment and how to evaluate them with a focus on tips and techniques for getting that perfect view of the ocular fundus. \n  \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.ivseminars.com/seminars/ophthalmology-in-general-practice-live-online/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/17/21 - Make the Shift! Tips To Safely Move Animals to Various Locations with a Team Approach - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:It happens at the moment you need it most. The repair person arrives to fix a broken appliance\, and protocol states all pets must be secured. But you cannot find the family cats to ensure they’re safely crated. Or\, the doorbell rings and your dog is playing the ‘chase me game’ to avoid being gated to another part of the home. Perhaps habitat repairs need to be done\, yet the Red fox chooses to take a nap in the outside enclosure while sunbathing rather than move to a holding area. \nWhat if we can put the odds in our favor and work with animals in our care? Rather than watch the clock tick away along with our patience\, let’s start from a point of success. This new webinar with Laura Monaco Torelli will help you to build a productive plan that keeps caregivers’ and animals’ working together. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/market/catalog/live-webinars/live-webinars-english-c-34/make-the-shift.html

SUMMARY:CASCAR Zoom Call for California Shelters - 5/18/21 - Dave Hachey & Dr. Lucas Pantaleon  - CASCAR - UC Davis KSMP
DESCRIPTION:We have an interesting little treat for this coming CASCAR call Tuesday May 18th at 1 pm – we will be hearing from our friends Dave Hachey and Dr. Lucas Pantaleon\, part of the team that brought us Rescue\, aka accelerated hydrogen peroxide\, about a new air purifier they are helping bring to the market. Given the way Rescue transformed shelter sanitation in many places\, when Dave says he’s on to something we tend to pay attention over here at team KSMP. They have a little presentation about the product and then we will have Q and A. This is not a sales pitch\, really intended to be an informative exchange so we can ask questions and understand the science and potential of a novel approach to pathogen inactivation in the air. I hope we might start seeing some of the technology in other congregate spaces as well so we might as well get a jump on learning about it! \nThat may not take up all the time we have\, in which case we can talk about whatever is on folks’ minds or kick back early. One thing that is on my mind and that I hope to talk about in more depth in an upcoming CASCAR call is the hints of increasing dog intake/in-shelter populations that have been mentioned on this list. If this is something you’re seeing\, I’d love to hear about it. If this is something you’re NOT seeing\, I’d also love to hear about it! I know there’s been a lot of anxiety\, which I share\, about reopening and seeing shelters get inundated to pre-pandemic levels or beyond. On the other hand\, I know not all reopening is necessarily a negative so I’d really appreciate getting some of the nuances and reasons behind what is happening out there now. \nCASCAR room link: https://sheltermedicine.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJQtdO-srDItyMz7xy-ZsncbcFa6s8kKZg

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/19/21 - Bringing Your New Dog Home – How to Promote a Successful Transition to Family Life! - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that it can take anywhere from a couple of days to several weeks for you and your new dog to adjust to each other? \nAlthough you have chosen this individual to join your family\, the dog does not know that what is happening is something good\, that he has a new family home. The dog is likely to be fearful\, anxious\, or stressed. This might manifest itself as lethargy or over-excitement. The dog might engage in distance-increasing behaviors. Triggers might stack up\, making it difficult for the dog to cope. \nIn this presentation we are going to cover DogNostics’ recommendations for successfully introducing a new dog into your family\, helping ensure that the transition into your home is as stress-free as possible for both you and your new family member. \nAlthough the presentation is aimed at pet dog owners\, it will also help pet professionals provide guidance to their clients\, and shelters provide guidance to new adoptees. \nAbout Your Presenter\n\nLouise Stapleton-Frappell – B.A. Hons\, PCT- A\, PCBC-A\, CAP3\, CTDI\, DN-FSG2\, DN-CPCT2\, CWRI\nLouise Stapleton-Frappell\, Partner and Faculty Member of DogNostics Career Center and Board Member of The Pet Professional Guild\, is a Professional Canine Trainer and Behavior Consultant – Accredited by The Pet Professional Accreditation Board.
