September President’s Notes
Dear Members,
Happy September and hopefully cooler weather! We had a great turnout for August’s meeting with Dr. Peter Hann from Vetoquinol. He provided our membership with a plethora of information and insight into a new loop diuretic and treatment options for osteoarthritis.
For the month of September, we have Dr. Jane Park from Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center (DVSC), speaking to us on “A surgeon’s approach to the paretic dog – identification and treatment of intervertebral disc disease.” Dr. Park’s presentation will be geared towards reviewing the clinical signs and the differentials based on physical exam findings, and then transitioning to the surgeon’s perspective of diagnostics, treatments and prognosis for these patients. DVSC is also kindly sponsoring our September meeting.
I hope to see everyone there, whether it is in person or virtually. As always, please feel free to reach out with any recommendations or suggestions you may have for our TCVMA leadership team. Thank you for being a part of the TCVMA!
Nicole Ewing, DVM
