As veterinarians, often wish we had more to offer our patients concerning matters of the "heart". This is especially true when their owners are not able to take advantage of available referral services.

Come join us for Dr. Blount's acclaimed "Practical Cardiology" Seminar. Don't miss the latest information and updates in Veterinary Cardiology that have occurred since 2 years ago when this seminar was last presented. You'll gather a wealth of cardiac care knowledge you can put to use immediately in your clinic, plus fulfill your total 2018 CE requirement.

This Seminar will cover the Cardiology topics most commonly seen in small animal practice. For example you'll learn about:

• Is the cough cardiac, respiratory or both?
• When does your patient need pimobendan and when is it not appropriate?
• What do the squiggly lines on the ECG really mean?
• What are the latest CPR Guidelines recommended by the 2012 RECOVER Advisory Board?
• How do you keep staff trained and ready for CPR to maximize patient survival?
• How do you tell the difference between an ejection murmur and a holosystolic murmur (we will review audio of murmurs and arrythmias)?
• What are the latest recommendations from ACVIM for managing congestive heart failure?

★ At this seminar there will also be a Dry Lab on Sunday that will incorporate live animal demonstrations of standard view Echocardiograms.
