The Veterinary Business Management Association, a student-driven organization at
MU-CVM, and the MVMA have teamed up to give
convention attendees the chance to network
round-robin style. VM 3 and VM 4 students are given five-minutes to interview with veterinarians seated at tables and then they rotate to the next table when their time is up. VM 1 and
VM 2 students will have a similar event. After the event, everyone is invited to a social hour to
continue their conversations.
Last year’s “Speed Networking” was met with a very positive reaction on both sides of the
table, and we’re bringing it back again. Don’t miss this fun, enlightening chance to talk with
the veterinarians of the future at this year’s convention.
Recent Graduate & Student Forum.... After the MVMF Drawing on Friday, we’re having a Forum
for Recent Graduates (up to 10 years out) & Current Veterinary Students. Be enlightened as recent
grads discuss the transition from student-doctor to doctor. Don’t miss this opportunity to get some
real life advice and share it as well.
Over 60 Booths in the Exhibit Hall.... Your chance to view the latest innovations in veterinary
medicine and technology while renewing old friendships and making new ones. Don’t forget
the Exhibit Hall Party at 4:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon before the Foundation Reception and
$10,000 Drawing!
Bring the Family.... Plan to bring the entire family to the 2014 MVMA Convention with a wide
variety of activities to appeal to all... big and small.
In addition to the indoor swimming pool, spa and bowling alley, Tan-Tar-A Resort has the Bears
Den Arcade with over 40 games for hours of entertainment for the young and young-at-heart.
Weather permitting; you may want to play a round of miniature golf at their year-round course.
You’ll also enjoy the Indoor Water Park featuring the Lazy River ride, hot tub and lots of exciting
water fun. Daily passes are available.

10:00 - 10:50 a.m. • Rooms 76-77 • Dietary Management for Healthy Senior Pets • Lauren Pagliughi, DVM
- Purina • (Note: Proceedings Abstract is listed under “Practice Management” section.)
The average age of pet dogs and cats continues to increase such that between one-third and one-half of pet dogs and cats are 7 years
of age or older. Aging brings with it physiological changes, including declining function in the digestive tract, immune system, kidneys,
and other organs. Skeletal muscle atrophy is common in aging pets, and may occur secondary to arthritis or to metabolic effects. The
goal of feeding aging pets is to compensate for declining reserves, maintain function, and address any diseases that may benefit from
dietary management.

11
11:20 a.m. - 12:10 p.m. • Vacuum-Assisted Closure: “The New Generation of Wound Management” • Mirae C.
Wood, DVM, DACVS
Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC®) is a wound management system that generates local negative pressure over a wound bed. As a result,
wound-healing capacity is increased by removal of fluid from the extravascular space, improved circulation, enhanced granulation tissue
formation, improved bacterial clearance, and decreased time to wound closure. Wounds, acute, chronic and traumatic, and their associated management are common in small animal veterinary practice. This lecture will describe the components of the VAC® system, the
mechanism of action of VAC® therapy, lists potential complications and contraindications, and review case examples.
1:20 - 2:10 p.m. • Acute Abdomens: “Differentials, Diagnostics, and Determining a Plan” • Mirae C. Wood, DVM,
DACVS
The presentation of a patient with acute abdominal pain often is both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the small animal veterinary practitioner. Rapid physical examination and assessment of the patient are critical to initiating appropriate medical management
and determining essential diagnostic tests. The initial triage and approach to the patient with acute abdomen will be discussed during
this lecture.
2:40 - 3:30 p.m. • Acute Abdomens: “The Surgical Ones” • Mirae C. Wood, DVM, DACVS
In some cases of acute abdomen, surgical intervention may be indicated, depending on the patient’s clinical signs and response to medical therapy. Determining which patients are surgical candidates can occasionally be a challenge. This lecture will describe surgical acute
abdomen cases, including decision making in regards to surgical timing as well as postoperative management.

8:00 - 8:50 a.m. & 9:00 - 9:50 a.m. • Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetic Ketoacidosis Parts 1 & 2 • Marie Kerl, DVM,
MPH, ACVIM, ACVECC
Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus is typically straightforward; however, treatment and monitoring can be challenging. Plans must be tailored
to the individual patient for greatest success. This two-part series will begin with outpatient management of straightforward diabetes
mellitus and discussion of particular problems of caring for complicated diabetic patients. The second hour will focus on in-hospital
management of diabetic ketoacidosis that occurs as a complication of diabetes mellitus.
10:00 - 10:50 a.m. • Adrenal Troubles: Addison’s Disease • Marie Kerl, DVM, MPH, ACVIM, ACVECC
Hypoadrenocorticism, or Addison’s disease, is most commonly caused by immune-mediated destruction of the adrenal glands in young
to middle-aged adult dogs. Deficiency of aldosterone and cortisol have wide-ranging effects on all body systems which cause this
endocrinopathy to be misdiagnosed as renal or gastrointestinal disease. This lecture will focus on recognition of clinical presentation to
increase index of suspicion for Addison’s, as well as common diagnosis and treatment options.
11:00 - 11:50 a.m. • Adrenal troubles: Cushing’s Disease • Marie Kerl, DVM, MPH, ACVIM, ACVECC
Hyperadrenocorticism, or Cushing’s disease, is a disease of middle-aged to older dogs. Polyuria and polydipsia are the most common
presenting signs, and other manifestations include dermatologic diseases and concurrent endocrinopathies. Diagnosis is challenging
because both false positive and false negative test results can be seen. This lecture will review diagnostic and treatment approaches for
successful Cushing’s management.
8:00 - 8:50 a.m. • Lunging on Leash: Interdog Aggression • Jacgueline Neilson, DVM
9:00 - 9:50 a.m. • Managing Behavioral Challenges During Appointments and Hospitalization • Jacgueline Neilson,
DVM
10:00 - 10:50 a.m. • Feline House Soiling: Diagnosis • Jacgueline Neilson, DVM
11:00 - 11:50 a.m. • Feline House Soiling: Treatment • Jacgueline Neilson, DVM
8:00 - 8:50 a.m. • Urinary obstruction in small ruminants – new techniques for an old problem • David E.
Anderson, DVM, MS, DACVS
Urolithiasis is a common and frustrating problem for owners and veterinarians. Urethral obstruction most commonly is seen because
of inappropriate nutrition. Although conventional management techniques often are satisfactory for treatment of urolithiasis in show
animals because of their shortened life expectancy, owners of pet animals demand more sophisticated techniques that will allow for
long-term survival of the patient.
9:00 - 9:50 a.m. • Handling, Restraint and Field Anesthesia of Camelids • David E. Anderson, DVM, MS, DACVS
While camelids are much easier to work with than many traditional livestock, these animals can be challenging at times when it becomes
necessary to handle them. To help you as you begin working with these interesting animals, here are a few handling guidelines that
should be used. These guidelines will make working with camelids much easier on both you and your llama or alpaca, and they will
make any veterinary visits go more smoothly.
10:00 - 10:50 a.m. a.m. • Breeding Soundness Examinations on Bulls • Dietrich Volkman, DVM
This lecture will provide a review of the methods and techniques employed during a routine breeding soundness examination on a bull,
using the guidelines and forms published by the Society for Theriogenology. Semen evaluation will be covered.
11:00 - 11:50 a.m. • Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus: A practical guide to control for changing types. •
Brian Vander Ley, DVM, PhD, ACVPM
BVDV is an ever changing virus and recent research indicates a higher prevalence of type 1B BVDV than has been previously seen. The
presentation is aimed at addressing this trend and providing practical information to veterinarians who are faced with preventing and
diagnosing BVDV each day.
14
8:00 - 8:50 a.m. a.m. • Endoscopy of the Upper Respiratory Tract in Health and Disease • Jan F. Hawkins, DVM, DACVS
The evaluation of diseases of the extrathoracic airways starts with a complete understanding of the unique anatomical features of
the equine upper respiratory tract (URT). Knowledge of the gross and endoscopic anatomy of the URT is crucial to arriving at a working diagnosis in a horse with clinical signs of respiratory noise and exercise intolerance.
9:00 - 9:50 a.m. • What’s New In Equine Upper Respiratory Tract Surgery? • Jan F. Hawkins, DVM, DACVS
Two of the most common surgically treated diseases of the equine upper respiratory tract are laryngeal hemiplegia and dorsal displacement of the soft palate (DDSP). This presentation will concentrate on new surgical techniques to manage recurrent laryngeal neuropathy
(RLN) and DDSP. We will also discuss the use of overground endoscopy for dynamic evaluation of upper respiratory tract abnormalities
in the horse.
10:00 - 10:50 a.m. • Standing Surgery in the Horse • Jan F. Hawkins, DVM, DACVS
Standing surgical procedures are being performed with increasing frequency in private and equine referral practice. Standing surgery obviously eliminates the need for general anesthesia and anesthetic recovery. This decreases the risk of injury for the horse and
decreases the cost of treatment for owners. Many owners are now requesting standing surgery in lieu of general anesthesia. Veterinarians must be aware of what procedures can be performed safely with the horse standing and which ones are not practical or are unsafe.
Many of these procedures would not be possible except for improvements in the use of injectable sedation and local anesthetic techniques. This presentation will discuss the role of standing surgery in orthopedic and soft tissue abnormalities in the horse.
11:00 - 11:50 a.m. • Surgical and Medical Management of Sarcoids In the Horse • Jan F. Hawkins, DVM, DACVS
Sarcoids are the most common skin tumor of the horse. They can be very frustrating to treat and have a propensity for regrowth following surgical removal. There are three basic types of sarcoids: verrucous, flat, and fibroblastic. Most flat sarcoids are left alone and are
not treated. Verrucous and fibroblastic forms are treated with surgery. Many surgical and nonsurgical treatments for sarcoids have been
described. This has included (but not limited to): surgical excision with a scalpel blade, laser surgical excision, intralesional injections
(e.g., cisplatin, BCG), and topically (e.g., 5-fluorouracil and Xterra). This talk will concentrate on the surgical management of sarcoids with
the carbon dioxide laser and intralesional treatment with cisplatin and BCG.
