SUMMARY:National Shelter Medicine Rounds – 9/12/23 – Can heartworm treatment be faster\, cheaper and more accessible—and still safe and effective? – University of Wisconsin Shelter Medicine Program
DESCRIPTION:The University of Wisconsin Shelter Medicine Program is thrilled to announce the next installment of National Shelter Medicine Rounds! \nNational Rounds is a platform for discussion of current topics relevant to shelter medicine for continued learning and collaboration.  While primarily intended or shelter veterinarians\, others interested in shelter medicine are welcome to join; we believe everyone will take something away from these calls!  The next national rounds call will take place Tuesday\, September 12th from 2:30 to 3: 30 Central Time. \nThe topic of presentation and discussion this week will be “Can heartworm treatment be faster\, cheaper and more accessible – and still safe and effective? (Yes. With caveats.)” by our lovely guest speakers\, Dr. Linda Jacobson and Dr. Karen Ward. \nSome veterinarians adhere closely to the American Heartworm Society Guidelines\, while many (maybe most?) use their favourite short-cuts and modifications. This talk is an evidence-based discussion of what modifications can and can’t be justified\, and where established orthodoxy and traditional approaches do and don’t make sense. It centers around the two talks we presented at the AHS Symposium in 2022 – one on our shorter\, less expensive 3-dose melarsomine study\, the other about an accessible alternative to melarsomine (moxi-doxy or “slow kill”). We’ll also challenge the audience to think about universal testing and the necessity of testing before prescribing preventives\, treating heartworm in shelters\, and more. \nWe hope to have an open discussion\, so come with questions and feel free to unmute to participate!  Our hope is to create a space that feels safe for all participants; we ask you to follow these Accountable Space guidelines. The presentation portion of National Rounds will be recorded\, but the discussion and Q & A sessions will not. \nIf you or someone you know would like to be added to the national rounds email list\,  please send your request to nationalsheltermedicinerounds@vetmed.wisc.edu. \nPlease use the following Zoom link to access National Rounds calls: https://uwmadison.zoom.us/j/97442637396 \nMeeting ID: 974 4263 7396\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,97442637396# US (Washington DC)\n+13052241968\,\,97442637396# US \nZoom Meeting Link:  https://uwmadison.zoom.us/j/97442637396

SUMMARY:Webinar - 9/13/23 - Intent vs. Impact: How to Respond When You Are Called Out For a Microaggression - The AAWA

Robinson\, Director of DEI Initiatives\, The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement \nThis webinar has been pre-approved for: \n\n1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit\n1 NACA CE\n1 CE towards ACO CE requirements per Ch. 829 of the Texas Health and Safety Code by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS)\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/p/9-13-23

SUMMARY:Webinar - 9/13/23 - In the Know About Noses: Health Trends in Brachycephalic Breeds - HSVMA
DESCRIPTION:With brachycephalic breeds like French Bulldogs\, Boxers\, and English Bulldogs routinely included in most popular breed lists in the U.S.\, the only thing more common than treating them in your practice may be strong feelings about their health. But how many of the things we know about brachycephalic breeds are supported by many years of pet health data? In 2022\, Nationwide started publishing novel evidence-based pet health studies about cancer and diseases of aging pets\, leveraging their 40 years of pet health experience and data to provide pet families and veterinary healthcare teams with tangible analysis and insights. This session will provide newly published insights into diseases of brachycephalic dogs\, offering a data-informed approach to brachycephalic disease awareness\, education\, and management. \nThis program will: \n\nRecognize the role that an evidence-based approach to brachycephalic disease management can take in practice\nDiscover how the relative risk of diseases (e.g.\, respiratory\, neurologic\, and ocular) differ among brachycephalic breeds and between other dog breeds\nConsider practical health recommendations for pet families with brachycephalic dogs\n\nThis webinar is FREE for all attendees.\n1.5 hours of RACE CE credits (medical) will be available for HSVMA members only.\nNot yet a member?

SUMMARY:Webinar - 9/14/23 - Maddie's Insights: Social Behavior & Implications for Bonded Pairs in Group-housed Shelter Cats - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Little is known about the social behavior of cats living in group housing at shelters. In a series of studies\, we recorded all the social behavior occurring between cats living in group housing and compared cats who were introduced at the shelter versus those who were surrendered together. We then followed up by specifically examining social behavior between cats who were labeled as bonded pairs or adopted together. Cats who were labeled as bonded pairs had a longer time to adoption\, but the relationship between this designation and social behavior was weak. Recommendations will be provided for identifying bonded pairs. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nIdentify positive social (prosocial\, affiliative) behavior in cats\nUnderstand that being surrendered together is not adequate evidence for bonding\nRecognize the link between behavior and social bonding in cats\n\nProgram Agenda:\n\nGeneral overview of social behavior in cats\nReview of research regarding social behavior in group housed shelter cats and the impact of bonded pairs on adoption times\nLimitations of identifying bondedness in cats\nRecommendations for identifying bonded pairs\n\nThis one-hour webinar will be recorded and has been pre-approved for 1.0 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association. It has also been submitted for approval for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize RACE approval. \nZoom registration link: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcasts \nMPF discussion thread: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastsBondedPairs \nAbout the Presenter: \nMalini Suchak\, PhD\, Professor & Chair\, Animal Behavior\, Ecology\, and Conservation at Canisius College\nMalini Suchak\, PhD is an award-winning associate professor of animal behavior\, animal cognition (how animals think and make decisions) and animal wellbeing at Canisius University in Buffalo\, NY. Her research explores how nonhuman animals think about other individuals in their social group and make decisions about their social relationships. She previously worked with chimpanzees and capuchin monkeys\, and currently explores these questions in companion animals like cats and dogs. She is particularly fascinated with how companion animals navigate a multi-species world\, interacting with others of their own kind\, other pets\, and their human companions. \nDr. Suchak also looks at how social interactions with others can impact an individual’s welfare\, such as the impact of group housing on cats living in animal shelters. Cats are not known for being the most social creatures\, so it is important to understand the impact of different housing systems on their well-being. Dr. Suchak and her research team routinely present the results of their research at local and international conferences and have published numerous papers on this topic in peer-reviewed journals. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastsBondedPairs

SUMMARY:Online Course - 9/16/23 - Return-to-Field: How Shelters Save Community Cats - Community Cats Podcast
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Neighborhood Cats. It used to be that a feral cat had little chance of exiting a shelter alive after he entered.  But that’s no longer the case.  In recent years\, more and more shelters have adopted Return-to-Field (RTF) programs.  Instead of euthanizing healthy community cats (whether feral\, friendly or otherwise)\, the shelter will spay or neuter\, eartip and vaccinate\, then return the cat back to where he was found. We’ll cover the policies behind RTF\, the mechanics of implementing the program\, current controversies over the RTF of friendly cats\, and how to combine RTF with TNR in general to lower cat populations and create sustainability. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/events/return-to-field-how-shelters-save-community-cats-presented-by-neighborhood-cats-sept-2023/
