Training on the Most Important Appointment: The Euthanasia
After contacting over 28 hospitals, I discovered that many team members have a difficult time in communicating with clients regarding euthanasia. Many of them are awkward and do not convey empathy to the clients while they are making the most difficult appointment. In this presentation I discuss commonly made mistakes in the scheduling, the handling, and the communication during a euthanasia appointment. I discuss how managers can train their team members on having this difficult conversation. I also give tips and specific phrases of what team members can say to owners during this difficult time.

Corneal ulcers are a common ocular condition in both dogs and cats and can become a very frustrating disease to manage when they do not heal properly. In this lecture we will discuss how to diagnose the cause of a non-healing corneal ulcer and treatment options once the cause is identified. Attendees will learn how to conduct a thorough examination of the anterior segment of the eye to identify the cause of poor healing, how to identify and treat an indolent ulcer (i.e. Boxer ulcer or SCCED), and how to manage infected ulcers given their high frequency of presentation in general practice and the need to treat them as an ocular emergency.

I grew up on an agricultural farm in Northern California. During my elementary years, I was working in the fields at that time. Growing up we had a few cats and dogs. My family, pets included, moved to Mexico for Junior High. My parents had a dual-purpose cattle farm, today it would be considered free-range cattle and the other purpose was for dairy production. I was hand milking a cow every morning from the age of 10 years until 15 years of age! During this time we had a range of animals growing up, even wildlife.
