What is the Role of
Veterinarians in Animal Cruelty Investigations?
Enjoy visiting with
the many MVMA
Exhibitors.
To highlight key aspects of animal cruelty investigations
that requires willing participation by veterinarians. Although
veterinarians bring expertise in animal behavior, minimum
standards of care for specific species, and pathology, most lack
training in forensics specific to these investigations and the link to
human abuse. This discussion will increase awareness of this issue.
Veterinarians attending the presentation will recognize the value
in seeking training to strengthen their roles in these investigations,
and serving as advocates for animal welfare for law enforcement.

Dr. Arno Wuenschmann
Friday, February 6 | 7:30 - 8:30 am
Hard data regarding animal abuse are impossible
to come by but anecdotal evidence suggests that
the incidence and reporting (or both) of animal
abuse have steadily increased. We as veterinarians (clinicians or pathologists) are obliged by the
veterinary oath to protect animals from abuse.
There is a lack of training opportunities for veterinarians to engage in forensic
medicine and pathology. For this presentation, we searched the databank of
the Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for animal abuse cases
and select cases will be reviewed.
Forensic veterinary medicine and pathology may be intimidating.
However, who, if not veterinarians are in the unique position to
fulfill the increasingly necessary role of protecting animals (and as it
turns out potentially humans) from neglect and violence.

CVM is an organization within our profession dedicated to serving
the poorest of the poor utilizing our veterinary skills. Each year
several hundred veterinarians and vet students give of their time
and resources to go and treat their livestock and also promote the
local church.
Katherine Reisinger and Zach Krych
Both Katherine and Zach are vet students at the U of M College. They
went to India as CVM ministry this summer. They will share their experience in such a different culture.
Jim Fountain, DVM (Kansas ‘71)
and Dave Wright, DVM (Minnesota ‘71)
Both Jim and Dave have had many years in practice. Jim in Kenyon, MN and Dave in Buffalo, MN. Both Jim and Dave went to
the Dominican Republic at different times. The main goal was to
evaluate a new partner for future trips for CVM vets. Both Jim and
Dave have experienced several trips to several countries. They
will share from a rich experience. Maybe someone at the breakfast might be challenged to try a trip themselves.

Canine Lyme Borreliosis (aka Lyme Disease):
Biology, Disease, Diagnostics and Prevention
Dr. Andrew Eschner
Saturday, February 7 | 7:30 – 8:30 am
The last 20 years has seen an explosion in tick populations across the US with a
subsequent increase in tick transmitted disease in dogs. In many states, black-legged
‘deer’ tick populations have increased and these ticks can infect dogs, humans and other
mammals with Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterial agent of Lyme disease.
In growing numbers, pet-owners have either had Lyme disease or know
someone who has had Lyme disease and increasingly “challenge” veterinarians
and staff about diagnostic, treatment and prevention options for their dogs. This talk will review the foundational aspects of what is known
about canine Lyme borreliosis with the goal of providing the
veterinarian a framework from which tobuild his or her
overall management plan.
