BARCELONA, 29 September - 2 October, 2011

BARCELONA! Barcelona’s location on the Mediterranean coast assures a warm, welcoming climate with pleasant temperatures all year round. The city boasts more than 5 kilometres of beaches, an Olympic marina, open-air restaurants, famous stores for shopping, and many street cafes. Absorb Barcelona’s wonderful history and bohemian atmosphere. Walk through the Gothic Quarter, one of the world’s best-preserved medieval areas, and the Ribera and Raval districts. The bustling streets and neighborhoods can be easily explored by bus, by bicycle or on foot. Of course, if Barcelona is famous for any one thing, it is its buildings. Take the time to admire the city’s architectural masterpieces such as the Sagrada Familia and La Pedrera, created by Antoni Gaudi and other architects, and soak up Modernisme, the city’s home-grown Art Nouveau movement and all that Barcelona has to offer. Barcelona Tourism Information Point! Barcelona offers you many interesting choices for every season of the year. Make the most of the end-of-summer sunshine; stroll on Barcelona’s beaches and through its parks; see world-class art exhibits and shop in world-class stores; enjoy unique seasonal cuisine and Gaudi’s unique architecture. Do you need any more reasons? Find all the Tourist information you may need about Barcelona at the “Barcelona Tourism Information Point!” placed in “Plaza España,” next to the SEVC Venue. Barcelona Magic Fountains! Barcelona’s biggest ornamental fountain, built in 1929 for the International Exhibition, offers a spectacular display of music, water acrobatics and lights in more than 50 colors. The fountain, one of the city’s most popular attractions, is the home of the “Piromusical,” a ballet-like spectacle of water and light. You can see the show from 1 October, every 30 minutes from 19 to 21.30h, Fridays and Sundays. MNAC Museum! The Palau Nacional, the building that was the emblem of the 1929 International Exhibition, now houses the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya. A magnificent, unparalleled view of Barcelona can be seen from its unique site on the mountain of Montjuic.

Properties: Allerderm spot-on® contains a mixture of ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol (“skin lipid complex”) similar to those found in the skin of healthy dogs and cats.Allerderm spot-on® is a topical product particularly suited to animals with skin conditions. It is highly recommended as a complimentary treatment for dermatosis in dogs and cats with upper skin conditions, thanks to a combination of ingredients that help re-establish the integrity of the skin. Applying Allerderm spot-on® helps restore the protective barrier of the skin thus facilitating hydration, reducing its sensitivity and reinforcing its protective role. Composition: Ceramides 3, Ceramides 6 II, Ceramides 1, Cholesterol, Sodium lauroyl lactylate, Xanthan gum and water. Instructions for use: to open the pipette, hold it upright and then turn the tip firmly until it breaks. In cats: brush back the fur below its neck until skin is visible. Place the catheter directly against skin and then gently press the body of the pipette until you have completely emptied its contents onto the skin. In dogs: Brush back the fur between its shoulders until skin is visible. Place the catheter directly against skin and then gently press the body of the pipette until you have completely emptied its contents onto the skin. Empty the entire contents of the pipette all along the back of the dog. Allerderm spot-on® may also be applied directly to broken skin. Quantity and frequency of use: one pipette a week for 4 weeks. The doses may be increased from two to three to pipettes a week, up to one a day depending on the seriousness of the cuts and as advised by your veterinary surgeon. To limit relapses and to keep the skin and hair coat healthy, apply one pipette a month during treatment. For best results, apply after a bath, when the fur is completely dry. Avoid prolonged storage at temperatures of over 25°C. Presentations: box with 6 pipettes of 2 ml. For cats and small dogs (<10kg). Box with 6 pipettes of 4 ml. For medium and large dogs (≥10 kg). Virbac S.A. For veterinary use.

WORKSHOPS!

BARCELONA, 29 September - 2 October, 2011

ENHANCE YOUR PRACTICE SKILLS! The SEVC’s workshops are another unique feature that enable delegates to gain hands-on lab experience and learn new techniques by working in small groups (no more than 20) with world-class instructors using the latest equipment on the market. The workshops will be presented in English, but instructors will provide assistance with other languages.

Know how to successfully manage one of the most frequent orthopaedic problems in the dog. This course will introduce participants to the latest techniques used to stabilize the stifle in dogs with a tear of the cranial cruciate ligament. Short lectures will be presented on decision-making; diagnosis (partial and complete tears); surgical approach; and surgical techniques, including extracapsular repair, and TPLO and TTA techniques. Participants in small groups will perform an extracapsular repair and TPLO on cadavers, thus learning surgical approaches and two of the most common techniques used to stabilize the cruciate-deficient stifle.

Registration for the workshops does not require registration for the SEVC Scientific Programme.

The SEVC workshops and laboratories adhere strictly to the ethical oversight directions and approval under Spanish regulations in their use of live animals. The number of animals used is always minimal. Every effort is made to avoid situations and procedures that would cause anxiety and pain in the animals, and appropriate sedation and analgesia are used whenever necessary. No animal will be euthanized to meet the needs of any SEVC workshop.

An essential lab for mastering cardiac and respiratory auscultation. The stethoscope is one of the most obvious images of a medical professional, but many veterinarians do not know how to make optimal use of this instrument. In this lab, recorded and simulated heart and breathing sounds will be used to teach how to assess small animals with cardiac and respiratory diseases. Participants will be presented with brief case histories and associated sound recordings and asked to consider the likely causes, differential diagnoses and follow-up diagnostic tests. Both congenital and acquired cardiac diseases will be considered, with emphasis on interpreting the significance of specific sounds and murmurs within the clinical context. Breathing sounds typical of upper and lower airway diseases will be heard, with emphasis on establishing the anatomic level of respiratory disease. Participants will leave this lab knowing how to make better use of their stethoscope, interpret the significance of murmurs and abnormal sounds, and apply this knowledge to their patients.

Don´t lose this opportunity to update your knowledge on the emerging methods of physiotherapy, an essential specialty in today´s practice. This practical lab includes a morning and afternoon session using live dogs. It's highly recommended that participants attend the rehabilitation lectures scheduled in the main program on Thursday afternoon. The four-hour morning session will include an introductory lecture followed by an interactive session on physiotherapeutic diagnostic evaluations, which represents the crucial first steps in any successful rehabilitation program. Attendees will become familiar with the special tests used by physiotherapists to evaluate soft tissue impairments associated with orthopaedic disease and learn about the palpation of “covert” structures being introduced in an entirely new approach for evaluating the lame patient. Palpation skills will be complemented with the use of goniometers and girthometers to assess the patients for ROM (active and passive) and muscle strength and electrical stimulation. A final discussion on “Putting it All Together” using case-based examples for group discussion will close the morning session. The three-hour complementary afternoon session will be devoted to the use of modern physiotherapy equipment available today for the rehabilitation of dogs. The participants will have the chance to work with an underwater treadmil and learn the uses of therapeutic lasers, ultrasound, force plate and shock therapy. At the end of this rehabilitation lab, participants will know how to examine the dog’s muscles and joint control, make a diagnosis, and know the fundamentals of treating the problem using modern equipment, always keeping in mind that no therapeutic modality can be fully effective without an appropriate diagnosis.

Make a difference in a dog's outlook on life and prevent future behavioural problems. Learn the important do's and don'ts of basic training and socialisation of puppies. The behaviour of a dog results from highly complex interactions between genetic predisposition and environmental influences. The effect of the environment is particularly important during the first weeks of postnatal development. An inadequate environment that does not fulfill a dog’s basic needs and improper training techniques increases the probability of the appearance of behavioural problems. This is the starting point of the so-called puppy seminars, which consist of structured programs offered by veterinary clinics with two main objectives: to allow puppies to interact and socialise with other puppies and people, and to teach owners early handling and training. Professionals (veterinarians, veterinary nurses or dog trainers) teaching these puppy classes should have not only a basic theoretical background on canine behaviour and training, but also some experience in the organisation and running of these seminars. The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate how to run a puppy seminar from a practical point of view. Discussion will include: general structure and timeline, materials, a catalogue of exercises, and ways to deal with the most common questions and comments. All key aspects of preventive behavioural medicine will be analysed and, whenever necessary, practised through hands-on exercises with dogs. At the end of the course, participants will be able to offer their clients a basic program for the prevention of behavioural problems in dogs.
