We've wrapped up day three at ⁠IVECCS⁠, and what an incredible day it was! Today featured Dr Amanda Cavanagh who provided invaluable tips on ensuring safe sedation in various situations, including a thorough review of popular sedation and anaesthetic drugs. Dr Shane Bateman discussed innovative business models that offer a comprehensive spectrum of care, while Prof. Michael Schaer engaged us in a fascinating discussion on the use of antivenom in American snakes versus Australian snakes.

Dr Paul Aldridge shared practical advice on managing the challenging scenario of post-trauma abdominal bleeding when it's not bleeding from the spleen. Dr Matt Booth delved into strategies for retaining ER veterinarians within your practice, and Dr Leo Londono explored the topic of whether our patients truly require intravenous fluids following an NSAID overdose. And last but certainly not least, Dr Temple Grandin shared some tips for neurodivergent veterinarians.

On the couch I was joined by Dr Ellie Lester and Dr Lisa Brumby - both from Animal Emergency Australia where I get to do my clinical work.
