SUMMARY:National Shelter Medicine Rounds – 12/12/23 – A Discussion of Canine Respiratory Disease and Its Management in Shelters: What's Old\, New\, Tried\, and True?  – UW Shelter Medicine Program
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next installment of National Shelter Medicine Rounds Tuesday\, December 12th. \nNational Rounds is a platform for discussion of current topics relevant to shelter medicine for continued learning and collaboration. While primarily intended for shelter veterinarians\, others interested in shelter medicine are welcome to join; we believe everyone will take something away from these calls! \nAs news and social media continue to circulate information about a new severe respiratory disease in dogs\, we’d like to offer the next National Rounds as an opportunity for informal\, open discussion\, questions\, sharing observations and (maybe) some answers. Please join us Tuesday December 12th to go over what’s been in the news\, share experiences and review foundational practices that reduce the risk of disease spread in shelters no matter the pathogen. \nThis meeting will be devoted entirely to attendee discussion and will not be recorded. \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 - 12/12/23 - The Roundtable: Liability Insurance Challenges - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:Animal sheltering organizations face growing challenges with acquiring affordable liability insurance coverage.  As the number of claims (including some in the seven-figure range) continues to rise\, even those shelters with solid track records are paying the price.  Serious dog bites seem to be at the epicenter of this insurance crisis.  Animal welfare organizations are struggling to find coverage at all\, and when they do find it the cost can be prohibitive. \nIn this discussion co-hosted by CalAnimals and The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement\, we will have a candid conversation with two representatives from the insurance industry who will share the big picture of what – from their inside perspective – is causing insurance challenges and what organizations can do to mitigate their risks and improve their chances of securing coverage. \nThe Roundtable Panel: \n\nDavid Denniston\, Director of Risk Management\, McNeil and Company\nDamien Zillas\, Compliance Coverage Counsel\, Nonprofits Insurance Alliance\n\nModerated by: \n\nJim Tedford\, CAWA\, President & CEO\, The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement\nJill Tucker\, CAWA\, CEO\, California Animal Welfare Association\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/p/RT-12-12-23

SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/14/23 - Improving Canine Quality of Life through Efficient\, Low-Cost Dental Care - ASPCAPro
DESCRIPTION:What to do about canine dental health is one of the hottest topics in accessible veterinary care today. While everyone agrees that all dogs would benefit from regular dental procedures\, the cost of dental care (including digital dental radiography) is well beyond the reach of many pet owners. Many shelter and community clinics provide some dental care to patients but often do so with guilt and conflict about not being able to provide the extensive care needed (or even worry about practicing below the perceived standard of care). \nIn this webinar\, we will present results from an ASPCA-funded study that investigated the impact of dental cleaning on the quality of life of canine patients. Additionally\, we investigated how an empirical treatment plan (pulling any obvious loose or severely diseased teeth) compared to recommendations made from a blinded radiograph review. Finally\, we documented the incidence of retained roots for dogs who had extractions and followed these dogs forward in time for 6 months. This project aimed to answer the question of whether or not providing some care was better than providing no care for patients with end-stage canine dental disease. As many dogs ideally need dental procedures as often as every year\, it is essential to come up with an affordable approach. \nTakeaways \n\nUnderstand current controversies around canine dental care.\nBe able to describe strategies to make dentistry procedures more efficient.\nDiscuss improving communication around dental care using spectrum of care approaches.\n\nCredits\nThis program has been RACE approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.aspcapro.org/training/webinar/improving-canine-quality-life-through-efficient-low-cost-dental-care
