President’s Message

Greetings TCVMA Members,

We are now nearly half the way through 2021 and Summer is about to officially start. Some sense of normalcy seems to be returning to our lives, including finally letting clients into the building. Who would have ever guessed that would be something that we would have to face as clinicians? Happy to be spared the fate of talking next to running cars in the Texas summer sun! It’s the little things, right?

I would like to thank Dr. Tynes again for her helpful presentation last month about behavioral triage, there were some great pearls in there for contending with our behaviorally challenged patients. For our June meeting, we will move a bit caudal from the brain, for a discussion on spinal cord disease. Dr. Barbara Lindsay will be presenting “Cat Spinal Cord Disease – It Ain’t Always Cancer.” Dr. Lindsay hails from South Eastern Australia and was residency trained in neurology under Dr. Ducote here in Lewisville. She remains a part of the Blue Pearl Neurology team. I very much look forward to her talk, and hope that you all will please join us via Zoom the evening of June 17th.

Sincerely,

Brian Cichocki, DVM, DACVO
