Speaker: Heid L. Hulon, DVM, CCFP, MHFA

Summary:  How lucky to be in Veterinary Medicine! You get to play with puppies and kittens all day. We all know that is not even close to being true! If we do have puppy or kitten patients, they are not always healthy. Parvo is a disease that destroys wellbeing in all: the puppy, the owner and the veterinary team. Fighting to save the life of such a sick puppy results in not only physical demands, but also significant mental strain and emotional drain. Adding cases like this to an already overwhelmed and overworked staff can deplete morale, stamina and resources.

How can we overcome this? Elanco’s new treatment for Parvo is not only saving the lives of puppies, but the lives of the people who care for them. A single dose of compassion goes a long way in helping to energize the veterinary team to care for the lives of their patients and their own lives.

Please join us for a look into how this new treatment can change outcomes for everyone!
