It’s the perfect time to visit everyone's favorite tropical Island in Florida. The weather is wonderful (in the low 80’s )and the rates are down!

The colorful heritage of this laid back Island city has inspired writers and artists over the last century. Stroll along brick walkways, adjacent to the Custom House Historical Museum or enjoy a walk to the Truman Whitehouse, Mel Fisher’s Museum of sunken treasures and the infamous Hemingway House. Just one block from the resort is Duval Street offering art galleries, boutiques, cafes and legendary historic watering holes.

Tour the city on the conch-train, enjoy the conch and Caribbean food, biking, snorkeling, diving, relaxing on the beach, stroll along Dual Street, catch a sunset in Mallory Square, fishing, a sunset sail, shopping and slowing down for a few days.

How I manage common canine and  feline skin disorders

The Speakers:

Dr. Craig Griffin and Dr. Wayne Rosenkrantz are both Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Dermatology and are partners in referral dermatology practices in Garden Grove (Los Angeles) and San Diego. Being in the largest private referral practices means that they have probably seen and treated it all. This also means that they will be presenting practical methods of treatment! Dr. Griffin is one of the leading Veterinary Dermatologists and has written chapters and articles in most of the texts and journals. He is a co-author of Small Animal Dermatology and is a frequent speaker at all the major conferences in the U.S. and around the world. Dr. Rosenkrantz is also a very popular U.S. and international speaker and author who has previously presented lectures for IVS in Australia and around the U.S. We are pleased that both speakers have agreed to participate in this seminar as their previous seminars for IVS were very well received by all in attendance.

Both speakers will present practical information (including some of their secrets) utilizing their clinical cases. There will also be plenty of time to get one on one with them to discuss your frustrating case.
