Looking for a break in paradise. This is the perfect time to visit Hawaii’s most spectacular tropical Island because the weather is always wonderful (in the 80’s ).

Hawaii- the big Island is picture postcard perfect. 



The Island of Hawaii is the largest island in the Hawaiian chain, with an area twice as big as all the other Hawaiian Islands combined, and is consequently known as "The Big Island." It is as diverse as it is large, with unique natural wonders. Not the least of these is Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano. Kilauea volcano, on Mauna Loa's southern flank, has been continuously erupting since 1983 and every day makes the Big Island even bigger. Hilton Waikoloa Village™ is located at the base of Mauna Kea, whose summit reaches to 13,796 feet (4,205 meters). In fact, when measured from its base on the ocean floor, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world (31,796 feet/9,691 meters), surpassing Mount Everest (29,035 feet/8,850 meters)!

Managing problems cranial to the diaphragm:

 

Howard Seim  D.V.M.

Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Surgeons

Professor of Surgery

Dr Padrid is a former professor of Pulmonary medicine at the University of Chicago. He is the author of more than 40 peer reviewed scientific journal articles and over 20 textbook chapters in the field, including CVT, Handbook of Small Animal Practice, the 5-minute vet consult and Saunders manual of small animal practice among others. His research and teaching introduced the use of inhaled medications that has revolutionized our treatment of asthma and bronchitis in dogs and cats. He continues to be a much sought after speaker at ACVIM, ECVIM, ACECC, North American Conference, the Atlantic City Conference, and the World Veterinary Congresses including the upcoming World Congress in Mexico City and the Past Congresses in Japan and British Columbia. His popularity as a speaker is in part due to his practical style and innovative teaching methods that get "the whole crowd into it" Watch out, he may make you demonstrate wheezing for the audience!!

 

Dr. Seim is Professor of Surgery at Colorado State University where he is an active member of the surgical team. He has written extensively in all the veterinary texts and journals and is a current author in Dr. Fossum's "Textbook of Veterinary Surgery". Along with both national and international invitations to lecture, Howard is also a frequent IVS speaker because of his unique method of lecturing utilizing videos of all the practical surgical techniques. He is also a fun person to interact with!

 

Dr. Padrid:

Diagnostic tests in small animal respiratory medicine- starting with physical exam (anatomic diagnosis like Dr D used to do in neurology), moving thru the common and novel testing approaches (such as use pulse ox in the awake patient with pneumonia, heart failure to decide need to hospitalize, response to therapy etc) 

 

Upper airway disease from nose to trachea- diagnosis and cutting edge treatments for nasal, pharyngeal, laryngeal and tracheal diseases - 

 

Feline asthma including use of inhaled medications -includes comparisions with human asthmatics, included our experience in the last 5 years using inhaled meds on about 150 cats and about 50 dogs -  vidoes of cats with asthma that are open mouth breathing that get inhaled albuterol and are fine within 5 minutes for example

 

Pleural disease-this covers a very novel approach to evaluating pleural fluid and thus the causes of pleural fluid accumulation that we do not teach in veterinary medicine but is the standard approach in human medicine and the approach I have been using for 10 years

 

Canine chronic bronchitis- includes clinically relevant pathophysiology to help understand why dog airways collapse as they do, lots of videos to show various kinds of collapse under bronchoscopy and fluoro

 

The 10 drugs I use in respiratory medicine 

 

Dr. Seim:

Surgical management of brachycephalic syndrome (stenotic nares, elongated soft palate, everted laryngeal saccules)

Tracheostomies: temporary and permanent

Diagnosis of canine laryngeal paralysis

Surgical management and prognosis of canine laryngeal paralysis

Diagnosis and Treatment of Feline Nasopharyngeal Polyps  

Managing tracheal and airway collapse
Pneumothorax- how to insert and manage the chest tube
When should I stick a needle into the chest?
How to perform atraumatic thoracocentesis

Diagnosis and Management of Diaphragmatic Hernias

Postoperative care (chest tubes, pain management)

  Videos will be utilized to present practical interactive cases!

 

In designing this course I asked both speakers to provide a list of the most common canine and feline problems encountered on a daily basis by you, the practitioner.
