"At a time when people were separated from family and friends this past year, pets provided great companionship and comfort. But, as adoptions of cats, dogs, and exotic animals like birds and reptiles reached record levels, so has the need for veterinary care," said Gene O'Neill, NAVC CEO. "At VMX, veterinary professionals are learning the latest in diagnosis and treatment so they can provide the best care possible to animals of all kinds.”
About 10,500 veterinary professionals attended the conference’s 600 continuing education sessions and workshops, 300 virtual sessions (available online through September 3), and exhibit hall. Live session highlights included an orthopedic exam on a canine to assess knee injury for treatment with surgery or alternatives, diagnose and treat dementia in dogs, and deal with separation anxiety. Another session focused on better ways to manage feline diabetes without the need for daily insulin injections. Additional sessions shared experiences using a portable ultrasound device and diagnostic tools for veterinarians in the field, as well as advances that allowed for brain surgery on a fur seal and emergency surgery for a penguin.
