Emerging zoonotic vector-borne pathogens in European dogs: What to watch out for in practice

Increased pet travel and importation of rescued dogs is leading to an associated increase in risk of exotic vector-borne parasites and vectors establishing in the UK. The expanding distribution of a range of vector-borne diseases also makes it more likely that exotic parasites may be encountered while pets are on holiday abroad. It is vital that veterinary professionals are able to accurately advise clients in relation to pet travel based on the latest parasite distribution data to minimise health risks posed to both pet and owner. Vigilance in imported pets for relevant clinical signs and appropriate parasite diagnostic testing are also vital both for individual health and wider UK biosecurity.

Ticks and Toads: Treating the Sickest
Tick and toad patients are the bread and butter of emergency practice in South-East QLD. They can seem routine because most do well with treatment straight from a clinical protocol. The worst 5% are the opposite. These patients epitomise the term ‘critical’. They present multiple challenges to the emergency vet, and treatment needs to be individually tailored. In this webinar I’ll talk about some of my sickest patients, how we managed them, where I think we could have done better, and what I’m planning next time. Absolutely critical toad patients make up about 1% of the presentations, and in tick paralysis it’s about 10%. There’s just not enough cases for clinical studies to be valuable, so collaboration is the first step in improving current standards of treatment. I hope this webinar is valuable for all of us.

Endoparasites: From 101 to the clinical frontline
This webinar aims to rapidly get your scientific knowledge up to speed by refreshing your understanding of the key helminth and protozoal infections of cats and dogs that you come into regular contact with through patents presented at clinics. The focus will then shift to parasite management and control, considering available diagnostics and treatment options, together with best husbandry practices that can be utilised by the pet owner in consultation with the veterinarian. The significance of parasite infections for the individual pet as well as other cats and dogs within their community will be critiqued, as will the potential for human infection through known zoonoses.

What is new in tick paralysis 2017
The last 12 months have seen refinements in the management of tick paralysis, and release of new options for tick prevention for pets. I will take the audience through the Guide to Diagnosis, Management, Treatment and Prevention of Tick Paralysis which was authored by the Australian Paralysis Tick Advisory Panel in 2016. This document was a collaborative effort of veterinarians in general and specialist practice, academia and industry which provides a consensus for current treatment of dogs and cats with tick paralysis. I have also been involved in a large- scale study of tick paralysis management of cats, and have already changed some of the ways I approach these patients. I will share some of the insights with the audience, as well as revising the big picture of what we are trying to achieve in tick paralysis management.
