David Hunley, DVM, DACVIM (Oncology)
Atypical Presentations of Feline Lymphoma - Thoughts on Diagnosis and Management
     Lymphoma is a very common disease in our feline patients. There are several common forms of large cell lymphoma in cats, including gastrointestinal, nasal, renal, and cranial mediastinal, and small cell lymphoma (especially of the GI tract) is frequently seen. These forms of lymphoma are discussed often, so our clinical suspicion for these diseases is often high based solely on clinical signs and physical exam findings. There are other forms of feline lymphoma that are not so common, however. These may mimic other diseases and may not initially register as possible lymphoma on our clinical radar. Sometimes, the presentation may be unusual enough that we actually doubt the results of cytology or histopathology. Familiarizing ourselves with the appearance of atypical lymphoma lesions, the frequent labwork abnormalities associated with these forms of lymphoma, and the prognosis and treatment options for these diseases can help to make the best decisions for these patients and their owners.
     This lecture will focus on lymphoma of the hock, “frontal sinus” lymphoma, large granular lymphoma, Hodgkin’s-like lymphoma, and lymphoma associated with paraneoplastic eosinophilia. We will also discuss some of the difficulties in defining and diagnosing these diseases, options for diagnostic testing and treatment, and overall prognosis for these various forms of lymphoma. Since these are not common forms of lymphoma, the literature is sparse, and much of the information surrounding them is anecdotal.

10:15am - 11:15am (1.0 CE credit)
Mariana A. Pardo BVSc, MV, DACVECC & Sergi Serrano, DVM DACVECC
Mythbusters: Veterinary Edition
     People are creatures of habit. Vets are no exception. Many things engraved in our daily practice are done because “that´s the way it is”, or “we´ve always done it this way”.
     Are all these actions absolute truths? Maybe not. In this lecture, we will confront the audience with some myths in veterinary medicine, (e.g. use of steroids in head trauma, use of premedications for blood transfusions, using alcohol to cool off heatstroke patients), and try to unveil the truth. Are we doing right, or should we break with the  old habit?
And if the topic is not interesting enough for you, be aware that use of cell phones will not only be allowed, but encouraged!!. We will be conducting real time polls to see where the audience stands on the topics discussed.

11:20am - 12:20am (1.0 CE credit)
