Animal Immobilization Techniques – "DART Lab"
Instructor: Dr. Carrie Schroeder
Time: Friday 8:00am - 12:00pm
Location: Lecture room 100 in Stock Pavilion Wetlab - Stock Pavilion
Attendees
will receive instruction from an anesthesiology resident on chemical
immobilization. This lab will cover drugs used for animal
immobilization, capture technique, and the use of blowguns and long
range dart projectors. A hands-on portion will follow where
participants will be able to safely practice using blowguns and
projectors.
Bovine Embryo Transfer
Instructor: Dr. Nathan Dorshorst
Time: Friday 1:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: Haag Dairy
Enhanced
advancement of quality genetics is gaining favor among many producers.
Come and see how reproductive technologies can be applied in today’s
dairy industry! An embryo transfer procedure will be performed and
students will learn about donor set-up, steps in flushing, and how to
grade the quality and stage of the embryos recovered. Further
information will cover recipient assessment and how to properly match
each embryo with its recipient. Students will also have the chance to
practice moving embryos underneath the scope to simulate washing and
transfer preparation technique.

Canine Necropsy Wet Lab
Instructor: Dr. Howard Steinberg
Time: Friday 8:00am - 12:00 pm
Location: MD-1 at the UW Veterinary School
The
main goal of the lab is to help students improve their knowledge about
both anatomical and clinical pathology by gaining hands-on experience
with necropsy techniques and procedures. Students will perform
prosections on beagles under the guidance of pathologists and pathology
residents. In addition to providing a review for anatomy, this
experience will serve as an invaluable introduction to necropsy which
will be especially helpful during 4th year clinical rotations.
Challenges in Clinical Pathology
Instructors: Dr. Karen Young and Dr. Kristen Friedrichs
Time: Friday 9:00am - 12:00pm
Location: MD-2
Students
will work in teams to solve diagnostic dilemmas by evaluating blood
smears and hematologic data, cytologic specimens, urine, biochemical
profiles, and results of other laboratory tests. Emphasis will be on
application of a sound diagnostic reasoning process. Prizes will abound!
Cardiopulmonary Cerebral Resuscitation (CPCR) Lab
Instructors: Dr. Jon Bach and Dr. Thomovsky
Time: Friday 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Locations: Room 203 Animal Science Building (1675 Observatory Dr)
Students
will attend a brief lecture on Cardiopulmonary Cerebral Resuscitation
and watch a live demonstration of a proper code situation using
'Resusci-Rover' (life-sized dog model with a remotely controlled ECG
for simulation purposes). Students will then use the Resusci-Rover to
practice CPCR techniques/running codes in small groups and receive
feedback. Finally, key points for success in running a code will be
discussed.

Epidemic Outbreak
Instructor: Dr. Darlene Konkle WDATCP
Time: Friday 2:30pm - 4:30pm
Location: Room 2255 at UW Veterinary School
Do
you know what to do in the event of an epidemic outbreak? Well, come
find out! Here’s your chance to learn what you need to know about
determining causality and epidemiology of a real veterinary disease
event. Find out how to ask the right questions and track down
high-quality information.
Fish Diagnostic and Necropsy Techniques for Veterinary Practice
Instructor: Myron Kebus, MS. DVM
Time: Friday 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: MD-2 at the UW Veterinary School
Students
will learn how to perform diagnostic techniques on fish using necropsy
and microscopy. Each student gets to practice on their own Rainbow
Trout cadaver. Students will get a brief introduction to fish medicine
and anatomy and have the opportunity to sign-up for the online basic
fish health medicine course through UW-Madison.
Lab Animal Surgery
Instructors: University of Wisconsin RARC
Time: Thursday 1:00pm - 5:00pm, Friday 8:00am - 12:00pm, and Friday 1:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: RARC Training Lab, 185 Enzyme Institute, 1710 University Ave
Are
you interested in surgery, anesthesia, pocket pets, exotics, and/or
small animals? Come learn basic suturing techniques (simple
interrupted and simple continuous pattern, skin staples), aseptic
technique and tissue handling and prior to performing a splenectomy on
a laboratory rat!
Reptile Surgery Lab
Instructors: Dr. Kurt Sladky
Time: Friday pre-lab lecture 1:00pm - 1:30pm at Room 2255 and lab 1:30pm - 4:30pm in Bays A and B
Location: Pre-lab lecture in Room 2255 and wet lab in MD-1, both rooms at UW Veterinary School
This
lab is intended to introduce participants to basic anesthetic and
surgical techniques applied to reptile species. During the lab,
participants will learn common surgical approaches, such as celiotomy,
gonadectomy, cystotomy, pharangostomy tube placement, and wound and
abscess repair. We will also discuss anesthetic techniques and the use
of analgesics in reptiles. Reptile cadavers will be used to demonstrate
all surgical procedures. Live animals will be used to demonstrate
anesthetic procedures.

Transition Cow Management
Instructors: Dr. Nigel Cook, Dr. Ken Nordlund, Dr. Gary Oetzel
Time: Friday 1:00pm - 6:00 pm (also three pre-lectures on Friday; see note below)
Location: Larson Acres Evansville, WI
The
most critical time periods for the health dairy cattle are during
transition, both pre-fresh and post-fresh. Three of the leading
experts in this research field will be instructing on the very latest
information with regards to management of the transition cow. There
are many confounding factors that influence how well a cow will
transition. Travel out to a large Wisconsin dairy farm and gain
“on-farm” experience in assessing these variables. Students will learn
how to trouble-shoot in order to help prevent common transition cow
ailments such as: milk fever, retained placentas, ketosis, and
displaced abomasums.
Note: In order to participate in this lab,
students are required to attend the three pre-lectures at Monona
Terrace on Friday from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm. These lectures are given by Dr.
