Jennifer Barrett, DVM, Ph.D., DACVS, DACVSMR - “Let's Get Moving! Regenerative medicine for orthopedic injuries”

Tuesday, March 14: 

Elizabeth MacDonald, BVMS, MS, DACVIM (LAIM) - “The Scoop on Loose Poop: Equine Diarrhea”

"Diarrhea in the horse can range from mild chronic diarrhea to acute severe diarrhea. The common causes of diarrhea in the horse will be reviewed, along with ways to diagnose the underlying cause, and when to become concerned as an owner." 

 

Tuesday, April 11: 

Megan Marchitello, DVM - “Equine Respiratory Disease: It’s a lung story”

Tuesday, May 9: 

Teresa Hopfgartner, DVM “Lumps and Bumps - Common Equine Skin Tumors”

"While cancer is not as prevalent in horses as it is in humans, cancers of the skin are fairly common in horses and most of them are easy to spot. We will be discussing the most common skin tumors in horses - sarcoids, squamous cell carcinomas and melanomas - in horses and discuss how (surgical) treatment is applied and what you can expect following treatment."

 

Each presentation starts at 7 p.m. (EST), will be about one hour long, and is free to attend. Although it is possible to attend in person, a webinar link is also available.
