Crisman, DVM, MS, DACVIM Dr. Crisman received his DVM from the U. of Warsaw Poland. He earned an MS in Veterinary Medicine from Washington State University. From 1987-2010, Dr. Crisman served on the faculty of the V-MRCVM where he was a Professor in the Dept. of Large Animal Clinical Sciences and section chief of equine medicine and surgery.

In 2010, Dr. Crisman joined Veterinary Operations with Pfizer Animal Health. He is certified in acupuncture by IVAS, and is a well-known acupuncture instructor/lecturer. Chronic pain is a significant health problem associated with severe patient suffering and disability. Acupuncture is considered one of the most ancient therapeutic interventions of mankind dating back thousands of years. This discussion will focus on current literature and the neurophysiologic basis of acupuncture and applications in equine medicine. Derby East A Practitioner’s Perspective on Compounding and Unapproved Drug Use in Equine Practice Nathan M. Slovis, DVM, DACVIM, CHT Dr. Slovis earned his DVM from Purdue University, and completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the University of California, Davis.

He currently holds the positions of Director of McGee Medical and Critical Care Center, Director of the Davidson Center for Hyperbaric Medicine, HEMI Infectious Disease Officer, and Equine Emergency Response Director. Compounding is any manipulation of a drug formulation that provides a product to fit the unique needs of a patient. Although compounding is oftentimes a necessary service for the equine veterinarian, it is important to understand when it is appropriate to use compounded products and when it is not. This lecture will include several studies showing the differences in potency of the active ingredients in compounded formulations compared to the FDA approved drug. The lecture will also illustrate how unethical practices of compounding medications are harming the future for equine pharmaceuticals. 9:20 – 10:20 AM Derby West Ocular Emergencies in Horses (sponsored by Wedgewood Pharmacy) Dennis E.

She has also co-authored chapters in several textbooks such as Equine Sports Medicine and Surgery. Dr. Gordon joined Purina Mills in 2005, and is currently Director of Research & New Product Development. Horse owners often ask veterinarians for nutritional advice when they are in the middle of a procedure or as they are packing up their truck to leave the farm. But as a veterinarian, do you feel you have the tools to make good recommendations in a short amount of time? This talk will discuss tools, questions to ask your clients, and information you need to know to make sound nutrition recommendations. Dr. Gordon will discuss body weight estimating, measuring feed, hay quality, supplements and more. You will leave this session with a new confidence of how to answer feed questions from horse owners.
