Conference Wet Labs
Techniques for Handling and Training Your Canine Patients
Technicians will practice modifying behavior via human training
exercise and demonstration. Participants will work in pairs to
train their dogs to sit/please and work on different cc
techniques (i.e. cc for shots, cc for TNT, rear end handling,
etc.)
Urinalysis Lab
Technicians will perform a basic procedure for urinalysis which
will include: specific gravity determination, urine chemistries
(reagent strips), and urine sediment exam.
Parasitology Fecal Wet Lab
Parasitology, the last refuge of the diagnostically destitute.
This wet lab will highlight critical new information on
conducting proper fecal examinations through a hands-on
experience.
Basic Dentistry Laboratory
Topics covered include periodontal disease (oral examination,
anatomy, nomenclature, charting, instrumentation, prophylaxis),
basic radiography, client education, and home care on
specimens/cadavers. This laboratory will combine interactive
presentations with hands on laboratory work enabling technicians
to gain a better understanding of periodontal disease, practice
important techniques such as charting and cleaning, and learn
how to improve compliance with dental home care.
Critical Care Nursing Skills Workshop
This workshop will focus on learning critical care skills which
will help technicians hone their skills in critical care. You
will learn to place jugular catheters and proper catheter site
care, measuring blood pressure on live patients with both
oscillometric and doppler blood pressure equipment and
assessment of lung sounds utilizing "Jerry" the resusci-dog and
using your skills to trouble shoot a few real cases. A
discussion of the cases will follow the hands on workshop. Lab
participants MUST attend the 10:00 am lecture by Sue Berryhill
to prepare for this lab.
Small Animal Bandaging Lab
Participants will apply bandages that will be demonstrated,
step-by-step, in the 11:10 am session with Dr. Swaim’s
presentation on bandaging techniques for certain body areas
(head and ear, elbow, paw, tail and pelvic area). Lab
participants MUST attend the 11:10 lecture by Steve Swaim to
prepare for this lab.
Capture Equipment and Techniques for Chemical Restraint of
Wildlife
This workshop will begin with a lecture that will introduce
technicians to the principles of chemical immobilization of
wildlife. Participants will then have hands-on experience using
common capture equipment such as blow pipes and CO2 pressurized
guns. There will be a tournament involving the daily challenges
in wildlife immobilization with prizes at the end.
Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Lab (KSVDL)
Technicians will experience the operations of the KSVDL as well
as learn how to access KSVDL from their clinic. Participants
will use a computer to learn how KSVDL will benefit clinics for
submission of lab samples and retrieval of test results. Each
technician will learn about the Laboratory Information
Management System (LIMS), enter clinic data into the computer,
receive results, and have the option to setup KSVDL web access
for their clinic.
Scoping for Gastrointestinal Ulcers
The lab will include a 30 to 45 minute lecture of gastric
ulcers, followed by a demonstration of gastroscopy in an adult
horse. Gastric ulcers are a common problem in athletic horses.
Gastric ulcers can result in abdominal pain, but can also result
in poor performance. An accurate diagnosis of gastric ulcers is
made with direct examination of the stomach via gastroscopy.
Nerve Blocks for Equine Lower Limbs
The lab will consist of a short lecture to review the anatomy of
the distal limb and nerve block techniques for the region of
interest. Participants will then perform the reviewed blocks on
cadaver limbs. Lameness is a common condition faced by equine
practitioners and therefore proper techniques for safe and
diagnostic nerve blocks are essential.
Bull Breeding Soundness Exam
Lab will include 30 minute lecture on fundamental concepts of a
Breeding Soundness Exam, followed by slide evaluations of bovine
semen. Participants will use semen collected from a bull to
examine slides for motility and morphology.
