The K-State Pet Obesity Clinic: COVID Edition

Speaker: Taryn Pestalozzi, DVM

The K-State Pet Obesity Clinic has now been open and enrolling patients for a little over a year; in that time, approximately 75% of pets that have finished their enrollment have reached ideal body condition. In this talk, we’ll be reviewing how the Pet Obesity Clinic works and what the benefits are to the client, the pet, and to the referring DVM. We’ll also be discussing how the clinic has had to change with COVID-19, and how some of these changes could also be implemented by general practitioners working with clients on their pet’s weight loss.

Fine-tuning the Management of Diabetes Mellitus

Speakers: Thomas Schermerhorn, VMD, Diplomate ACVIM (Small Animal Internal Medicine) and Neala Boyer DVM, Diplomate ABVP (Canine and Feline Practice)

This discussion will focus on updates in diabetes mellitus in dogs and cats. Insulin therapies and updates on insulin use (especially the use of long-acting insulins) will be covered. We will discuss monitoring strategies for assessing patients with poor regulation on insulin therapy along with pros and cons of various available options. Obesity and its relationship to diabetes mellitus along with current understanding of feeding strategies for these patients will be covered. We will review weight goals and strategies for weight optimization in patients with diabetes mellitus, including those with the comorbidity of pancreatitis. New research on the impact of topical NSAID vs. steroid for anterior uveitis management in dogs with diabetes mellitus in will be briefly discussed.

Helping Your Patients Run Away from Obesity and Arthritis

Speaker: Iveta Becvarova, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVN

Overweight dogs with osteoarthritis present a unique challenge. Using a multimodal approach to the management of dogs with OA improves chances of successfully disrupting the arthritis cycle and at the same time minimizing the use or dose of drugs necessary to control clinical signs. As with human OA patients, controlling weight in pets with OA or those at risk for developing OA is an effective method of decreasing the severity and delaying the onset of clinical signs. There is a strong evidence for recommending weight loss as the 1st choice of treatment for obese patients with OA.
