Dr. Robert J. Van Saun, DVM, MS, PhD, Dipl. ACT and ACVN - Veterinarians receive many inquiries from about what to feed their dog and cat. In turn we are inundated with information from pet food manufacturers touting the quality and nutritional value of their foods. This aspect of feeding the healthy animal is an important component of veterinary practice, but what about feeding the sick animal? A primary reason a veterinarian may be presented with an animal is for the diagnosis and treatment of some pathologic process. How does nutrition fit in this scenario? Surveys from human hospitals have shown that more than 50% of patients are in some degree of malnutrition. Similarly most hospitalized animal patients either do not want to eat or can not eat sufficiently. The body, as a consequence of disease, trauma or surgery, initiates a number of physiologic responses resulting in a state of hypermetabolism, which increases nutritional needs and accentuates any current nutritional insult. This presentation will review these specific physiologic responses to disease and trauma to provide a better understanding of appropriate nutritional support. Specific nutrients which have been shown to facilitate the healing process will be discussed. Learn how to make your medical and surgical skills look that much better through improved patient recovery times as a result of proper nutritional supportive care. - Emergency Medicine and Critical Care

Specimen selection, preservation and transport are more important than all of the laboratory efforts that happen once the sample arrives at a diagnostic facility. This presentation will underscore the importance of what is sent and what the laboratory findings really mean.

Dr. Charles Robbins, Ph.D. - "Grizzly bears and wolves are two of the most controversial wild animals in North America. For the last 12 years, a series of graduate students at Washington State University have studied their nutrition and ecology in a management context. A captive bear facility capable of housing 12 adult grizzlies was built on the WSU campus in 1986. The bears in this facility provide students the opportunity to study the details of nutrition or physiology that can not be studied in a wild setting. However, the focus of most of the captive studies is to generate basic information necessary to understand the ecology of wild bears. Studies have included 1) the importance of salmon to bears in coastal Alaska, 2) the role of brown bears in moving marine nutrients, particularly nitrogen, into the terrestrial community, 3) foraging limitations to bears feeding on berries and vegetation, 4) milk intake and growth of cubs nourished by their mothers, and 5) current and historical diets of grizzly bears throughout the western U.S." - Disease Liniting Factors in Bighorn Sheep Populations

Robert J. Van Saun, DVM, MS, PhD, Dipl.ACT and ACVN - The pregastric fermentation system of ruminant herbivores allows the host animal to extract usable nutrients from feed ingredients that are indigestible to the animal's digestive tract. This symbiotic relationship between host animal and rumen microbial populations result in the most efficient forage utilizing animals in the world. However this relationship is not always a positive one from either perspective. Although the rumen microbes are provided continuous feeding in an optimum environment, they will eventually become dinner themselves. In turn the rumen microbes are responsible for a number of disease syndromes specific to ruminant animals. Atypical bovine pulmonary emphysema, nonprotein nitrogen toxicosis and ruminal acidosis are diseases in which specific bacterial toxic products induce the disease. Other disease syndromes like hypomagnesemic tetany, milk fat depression and polioencephalomalacia can also result from inappropriate microbial activity. Bioavailability of some essential nutrients can also be reduced as they pass through the rumen; predisposing the animal to nutrient deficiency problems. The focus of this presentation will be on this dark side of rumen metabolism in how it adversely affects animal health. Pathogenesis, treatment and prevention of these rumen-specific diseases will be discussed. - Salmonella DT 104: Investigation of Dairy Herds
Dr. John Gay, DVM, Ph.D., Dipl. ACVPM - Staphylococcus aureus mastitis: Can the menace be stopped???
Dr. Lawrence Fox, MS, Ph.D. - Staphylococcus aureus has been the most prevalent contagious mastitis pathogen for the last thirty years. Although milking time hygiene has been successful in eradication of the other contagious pathogens, S. aureus has been controlled but not eradicated by these strategies. Reasons for the inability to eradicate S. aureus include its ability to produce potent toxins, and its ubiquitous nature. Moreover, the majority of S. aureus that cause mastitis are penicillin resistant and many demonstrate multiple resistance patterns. Further efforts to control this disease include: 1) developing improved surveillance methods to identify S. aureus infected cows; 2) development of vaccines; and 3) better control practices. - Swine Lecture

Dr. Sue Tornquist, DVM, PhD - Hepatic lipidosis in camelids has been infrequently reported in the literature, but is increasingly recognized in cases of camelid illness or death. Although hepatic lipidosis is not likely to be a primary cause of death, it appears to represent metabolic disturbances that have serious implications. At the College of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University, we have been conducting several studies of hepatic lipidosis in camelids. One study is a review of 31 histologically-confirmed cases of naturally-occurring hepatic lipidosis in camelids. The second study, funded by the Morris Animal Foundation, is an effort to create a model of hepatic lipidosis in llamas and to evaluate clinical, histologic, and biochemical changes that occur during development of this condition. The overall goal of these studies is to understand the pathogenesis of camelid hepatic lipidosis in order to more effectively predict, prevent, and treat the condition. - Birthing and Neonatal Care of the Llama

Despite these improvements in health, outbreaks of infectious disease continue to occur and new infections emerge. What constitutes an emerging infectious disease will be discussed and reasons contributing to the emergence of these diseases will be identified. Important emerging zoonotic infectious diseases will be emphasized. - Job Hunting With an Attitude

Although pets contribute to our lives in many positive ways, there are some pet-associated risks to human health. It is important that veterinarians are knowledgeable about pet-associated zoonotic risks and can advise clients on how to minimize theses risks. Zoonotic risks associated with specific pets will be discussed. Particular pet-associated zoonotic risks for immunosuppressed people and for pregnant women will be discussed. - Epidemiology for the Practicing Veterinarian
