COVID19 Got Ya Stressed?

Learn how your endocannabinoid system deals with stress and what that means for you and your patients.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS), the largest system of endogenous ligands and membrane receptors in the central nervous system of all animals, including us two-legged types, is the primary mechanism our nervous system has for managing stress, our adrenal-hypophyseal axis notwithstanding.

Attend this fascinating and fast-moving lunchtime educational experience and learn the mechanisms of action the ECS employs to manage stress in its efforts to maintain homeostasis in the body.

Just by accident, the plant molecules in cannabis, from THC and CBD to the terpenes and flavonoids, interact in multiple pathways with our endogenous system to amplify and support this process.

This lunchtime learning experience will end with a small section on the laboratory analysis of cannabis products and how to read a certificate of analysis so as to improve our selection process for products that are transparent, safe and which meet existing regulatory standards.

Vaccines & Vaccination: Protocols, Products, and Controversies

Description:

This program will examine current recommendations for canine and feline vaccination, focusing on recent changes to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) guidelines. It will review intervals for the initial feline vaccination series and boosters in adults, the rationale behind updates to the initial canine vaccination series, and revised guidance on the administration of leptospirosis and Lyme disease vaccines. It will also explore the indications and interpretation of antibody testing, including patient management recommendations based on test results. You’ll leave with a thorough understanding of current vaccine and vaccination recommendations.

Learning Objectives:

1.  Review prominent issues, controversies, and challenges surrounding canine and feline vaccination.
2.  Learn about changes in initial vaccination series recommendations, and explore core and non-core booster interval recommendations for adult animals.
3.  Understand “must know” facts that bridge the gap between vaccination recommendations and practice, including indications for antibody testing and interpretation of results,
   determinations for when to treat non-core vaccines as core, and advice on avoiding vaccine adverse reactions.
4. Learn how to best implement a rational vaccination protocol that provides maximum levels of protection for your practice’s patients.
