What is the Role of Veterinarians in Animal Cruelty Investigations?Panel Discussion, Dr. Julie Wilson - ModeratorTo highlight key aspects of animal cruelty investigations that requires willing participation by veterinarians. Although veterinarians bring expertise in animal behavior, minimum standards of care for specific species, and pathology, most lack training in forensics specific to these investigations and the link to human abuse. This discussion will increase awareness of this issue. Veterinarians attending the presentation will recognize the value in seeking training to strengthen their roles in these investigations, and serving as advocates for animal welfare for law enforcement.

Veterinary Forensics: A Fledgling Discipline -whether you like it or Not!Dr. Arno WuenschmannFriday, February 6 | 7:30 - 8:30 amHard data regarding animal abuse are impossible to come by but anecdotal evidence suggests that the incidence and reporting (or both) of animal abuse have steadily increased. We as veterinar-ians (clinicians or pathologists) are obliged by the veterinary oath to protect animals from abuse.

There is a lack of training opportunities for veterinarians to engage in forensic medicine and pathology. For this presentation, we searched the databank of the Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for animal abuse cases and select cases will be reviewed.

Forensic veterinary medicine and pathology may be intimidating. However, who, if not veterinarians are in the unique position to fulfill the increasingly necessary role of protecting animals (and as it turns out potentially humans) from neglect and violence.

Christian Veterinary Mission Prayer BreakfastFriday, February 6 | 7:00 – 8:45 am

CVM is an organization within our profession dedicated to serving the poorest of the poor utilizing our veterinary skills. Each year several hundred veterinarians and vet students give of their time and resources to go and treat their livestock and also promote the local church.

Katherine Reisinger and Zach KrychBoth Katherine and Zach are vet students at the U of M College. They went to India as CVM ministry this summer. They will share their ex-perience in such a different culture.

Jim Fountain, DVM (Kansas ‘71) and Dave Wright, DVM (Minnesota ‘71) Both Jim and Dave have had many years in practice. Jim in Ke-nyon, MN and Dave in Buffalo, MN. Both Jim and Dave went to the Dominican Republic at different times. The main goal was to evaluate a new partner for future trips for CVM vets. Both Jim and Dave have experienced several trips to several countries. They will share from a rich experience. Maybe someone at the break-fast might be challenged to try a trip themselves.

Canine lyme Borreliosis (aka lyme Disease): Biology, Disease, Diagnostics and PreventionDr. Andrew Eschner Saturday, February 7 | 7:30 – 8:30 amThe last 20 years has seen an explosion in tick populations across the US with a subsequent increase in tick transmitted disease in dogs. In many states, black-legged ‘deer’ tick populations have increased and these ticks can infect dogs, humans and other mammals with Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterial agent of Lyme disease.

In growing numbers, pet-owners have either had Lyme disease or know someone who has had Lyme disease and increasingly “challenge” veterinarians and staff about diagnostic, treatment and prevention options for their dogs. This talk will review the foundational aspects of what is known about canine Lyme borreliosis with the goal of providing the veterinarian a framework from which tobuild his or her overall management plan.
