Short Course for the Short Horse: Miniature Horses

Tuesday, January 17, 2012

7-9 PM

Julia Gray, DVM

Miniature horses are so much more than just miniature horses! They have their own unique history, disciplines and health problems too. Come learn about these complex little creatures as we explore their health and well being from a veterinary standpoint. We will also be joined by mini horse enthusiast Dee Pullis and her mini therapy horse Mercy Bo Cool.

CSI: Case Study Investigation, 2nd Edition

Monday, February 27, 2012

7-9 PM

Amy Leibeck, DVM

No need to stay home on a Monday night to watch another rerun of "House" when you could be part of the action at GVEC. Audience participation will be encouraged as Dr. Amy Leibeck leads you through the symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatments for some common and perhaps a few not so common problems seen in our patients. This course is appropriate for the rookie and the veteran horse enthusiast, but probably best for those 14 and over.

What Lies Beneath: Ultrasound and Radiology 101

Thursday, March 8, 2012

7-9 P.M.

Joan Ayers, DVM

Have you ever wondered why we choose ultrasound over x-rays or vice versa? Imaging tools such as ultrasound and x-rays are used to diagnose and monitor musculoskeletal and internal medicine problems. They can also help guide us during special treatments such as joint injections in the foot and neck. These tools are available both at our clinic and at your barn. Come learn more about why we use these imaging modalities. We will review a few cases and see some amazing images.
