Veterinary caregivers and pet owners alike are concerned about the risks and complications associated with anesthesia in pets. Risks can be minimized through a variety of interventions including the use of balanced anesthetic drug protocols and monitoring of patients including their heart rate, respirations, and blood pressure. This Specialty Update focuses on new information revealed in a recent publication that examined the risk of anesthesia and complications in brachycephalic breeds as compared to nonbrachycephalic dogs. This information is helpful for better understanding the relative risk of anesthesia in breeds including Boxers, Bulldogs, Pugs, Shih Tzus, Lhasa Apsos, and Mastiffs among others. Discussion also includes the Specialist's Spin and how this information will be applied in her practice.

Infection, neoplasia, and other triggers may contribute to the development of IMHA in susceptible patients. Unidentified underlying triggers likely contribute to treatment failure. The learning objectives of this session are to: 1) Review evidence for infection and other comorbidities as triggers for IMHA 2) Identify clues in a given case context that help determine what you should be screening for in an individual patient 3) Review data from a recent AKC Canine Health Foundation study that illustrate how to optimize detection of vector borne disease agents commonly associated with immune-mediated disease Registration compliments of our Sponsor  less
