ATLANTIC VETERINARY EVENTS

Dr. Watson attended the Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association's winter meeting in early February 2008.  He updated his knowledge with lectures on DIABETES; KIDNEY INSUFFICIENCY; and the NEW, VIRULENT, SYSTEMIC CALICIVIRUS INFECTION IN CATS.  These are  very important diseases in cats.  New treatment methods and medications, as well as the new calicivirus vaccine were discussed.  Also lectures on SURGICAL ONCOLOGY were presented.  Cancer and tumors are an ever present problem in our family pets.  Surgical removal remains a major foundation of treatment.  There are many new and improved options for cancer treatment. 

Hopefully, none of our family members will have do deal with any of these problems.

In mid April 2008, Dr. Watson along with technicians Carrie & Frank, attended lectures presented by Chesapeake Veterinary Referral Center.  Current information was presented on Feline Pancreatitis, Oral Trauma, Congestive Heart Disease, Pulmonary Thromboembolic disease, and treatments for corneal ocular diseases.

Dr. Watson, Carrie & Frank also attended the Eastern Veterinary Conference held in Baltimore, MD at the end of April 2008.  Updated information was learned on a vast array of topics in veterinary medicine; from animal behavior problems to zoonotic diseases. 

We strive to keep our knowledge base current to help our veterinary patients with what ever problem they may encounter.
