VETgirl was the brainchild of Dr. Justine Lee. Years ago, while frantically studying for her board examination(s), she decided to take some time out to relieve some stress (aka “panic) by running. While pounding the pavement, she thought, “Why can’t I listen to this stuff on my Walkman while I exercise?” (She is old, and this was pre-Ipod days). Since sleeping on top of her textbooks didn’t appear to osmotically work, she decided that this “listen and learn” modality would truly be the best way to “take it all” in while frantically multi-tasking.

This program has been approved for 0.5 hours of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval.

While there is ample information on the topics of hip dysplasia diagnosis and treatment there is paucity of information in the area of rehabilitation as it pertains to the conservative management. This presentation with Drs. David Dycus and Andy Roark provides information on rehabilitation efforts as part of the conservative approach in both young and old dogs with hip dysplasia. The goal is for the veterinarian or veterinary technician to gain an understanding into basic conservative and rehabilitation goals/concepts they can use in daily practice when conservatively treating young and old patients with hip dysplasia as well as understand the major differences in rehabilitation in young versus older patients.

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Dr. Jackie Parr BScH, DVM, MSc, Dip ACVN

When Bruno the chocolate lab was found after 27 days in the bottom of an abandoned well, Dr. Jackie Parr was one of the people he desperately needed.

Refeeding syndrome, muscle loss, dangerously fluctuating electrolyte levels and more were all part of a language Dr. Parr intimately understood. After 14 years of specialized veterinary nutritional study, Bruno was exactly the kind of patient she had been preparing for.

And that’s how it’s always been for Dr. Jackie Parr: complete emersion in the science of veterinary nutrition as a means to an important end – for all the Bruno’s of the world.

A Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist TM, and festooned with veterinary and academic designations that speak to a passion for science and animal care that borders on obsession, Dr. Parr is among the elite where animal nutrition is concerned. A natural educator, Dr. Parr is widely sought after in professional veterinarian circles as both a public speaker, and as a specialist for consults on the most unique and emergent nutritional cases. She is a passionate nutrition advocate and an accessible expert with feet planted firmly in both the academic and practical worlds of specialized nutritional medicine.
