1pm-4pm
Territorial III Room

This lab will cover the top five behavioral tips all cat parents should know. In this laboratory we will cover the essentials of proper feline behavioral husbandry and care – i.e. the information veterinarians and staff members should be discussing with new kitten/cat parents. Questions we will address include:

• What is the best litterbox?
• What type of toys should I get and how should I play with my cat?
• How do I get my cat to like visitors and my other cats?
• How do I prevent my cat from scratching the furniture?
• How do I get my cat used to having her nails trimmed and being brushed?

Information will be put into practical use through demonstrations using kittens and adolescent cats.  Different types of toys and play will be demonstrated as well as desensitization to handling for nail trims and pilling.

General conference registration is required to attend laboratory sessions.

This lab is intended primarily for our Japanese technicians, but is open to all registrants. The lectures are given in English and translated live to Japanese.
Lab limited to 36 participants.

This lab is for veterinarians only. The full lab offering is currently at capacity. Lecture participants may join for the 8-9am lecture only. Lab participants will continue with hands-on extraction techniques using cadaver heads. Lab capacity is limited to 8 participants and is currently full. If you wish to be placed on the wait list, please email contact@hawaiivetmed.org with your request.

The wet lab is designed to allow veterinarians to learn how to extract teeth and increase skills when surgically extracting teeth. Creation of gingival and mucoperiosteal flaps, bone removal, sectioning teeth, elevation of teeth, and luxation of teeth principles will be taught and practiced in order to understand the principles of tooth extraction.

Learning Objectives:
1. Veterinarians will learn the basic principles in surgical extraction of canine teeth including creating a mucoperiosteal flap, sectioning teeth, elevating, and luxating teeth, as well as creating tension free mucoperiosteal flap closures and hints to improve already present extraction skills.
