ELCOME
Dear Members and Friends,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the New Jersey Veterinary
Medical Association’s 132nd Annual Meeting. The NJVMA Annual
Meeting features world-class Continuing Education (CE) in a
relaxed, collegial atmosphere. 2016 marks our twelfth year at the
Wyndham Hamilton Park Hotel & Conference Center. We are
confident that attendees and their families will continue to enjoy
this facility and all of the activities the area offers.
Proceedings notes will be provided to all attendees on a USB/Flash

by our attendees. A printed proceedings book is available for
advanced purchase at an additional cost. Please be sure to mark the
appropriate selection on your registration form if you wish to
purchase printed notes.
Saturday evening is sure to entertain! The night will begin with our
Exhibit Hall and the ever-popular New Jersey Veterinary Foundation
Silent Auction. NJVF Silent Auction Coordinator Nancy Muddell
has once again outdone herself. Don’t miss your chance to
bid on some truly exceptional items. Our Saturday night dinner
entertainment features the home-grown musical group The Jersey
Four: A Tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
Join us on Sunday for the 21st Annual NJVMA Animal Hall
of Fame. This event honors animals and animal welfare
advocates who exemplify the strength and significance of the
human-animal bond. We look forward to having you as our guest
at the induction ceremony.
I would like to take this chance to express my thanks for the
outstanding commitments given by the Board and the Committee
Chairs. With their generous dedication and hard work, we have been
able to make this a great year for the NJVMA. I particularly want
to note the outstanding efforts of R. Wayne Randolph, VMD for

COMPANION ANIMAL
Feline - Dr. Margie Scherk
9:00 am – 9:50 am
Respectful Cat Handling vs. Cat Wrangling:
From the Cat’s Point of View
Handling cats in practice can be challenging. In order to work peaceably
with cats, it helps to look at things from their point-of-view. The cat is a
species that has evolved with a social structure different than ours. Cats
are able to function completely efficiently as a solitary creature, yet have
complex and changing social interaction. They are both predators and
prey, which affects how they respond to us in a clinic setting.
10:00 am – 10:50 am
Respectful Cat Handling vs. Cat Wrangling: Putting Purrspective
into Your Practice
Using the foundation of imagining what a cat’s perspective might be,
put the pieces into how you work with cats. Learn numerous techniques
and ways of interacting with cats to make your, and their, hospital
experience less stressful. Numerous practice tips will also be included to
show how procedures may need to be adapted to this species.
11:00 am – 11:50 am
Improving Client Compliance in the Feline Practice
How do we get feline clients to bring their cats into the clinic for preventive care AND how do we help them carry out our recommendations?
Cats don’t like coming to the clinic. Clients don’t like bringing their cats
to the clinic. Within the clinic setting, many of us prefer to handle dogs.
By addressing these realities, we can increase the number of visits and
improve the care our feline patients are offered. Building on
respectful, feline-friendly handling, our clients will be more likely to
follow through with the professional recommendations we make.
2:30 pm – 3:20 pm
Controversies Surrounding Protein in Feline Nutrition
As obligate carnivores with a different set of nutritional requirements
than the omnivorous canine, understanding more about feline nutrition
is valuable in caring for cats. It is critical to feed cats not just enough
calories, but enough calories from protein. Controversy exists especially
when discussing feeding cats with kidney diseases, but also the role of
protein in managing diabetes mellitus and weight loss.
COMPANION ANIMAL
Pain Management - Dr. Steven M. Fox
9:00 am – 9:50 am
Feline Pain Management, Part I
Cats present with diseases unique from the dog and cannot, therefore, be
considered as ‘small dogs.’ Species specifics include: manifestations of
pain, prevalence of degenerative joint disease and drug metabolism.
10:00 am – 10:50 am
Feline Pain Management, Part II
Cats present with diseases unique from the dog and cannot, therefore, be
considered as ‘small dogs.’ Species specifics include: manifestations of
pain, prevalence of degenerative joint disease and drug metabolism.
11:00 am – 11:50 am
Multimodal Management of K9 Osteoarthritis
Canine OA is most effectively managed not by one modality alone,
but with a multimodal approach. Multimodal management is
effective because each modality alone is operative, and together they
demonstrate synergism.
2:30 pm – 3:20 pm
Rethinking Perioperative Analgesia
The best approach to treating pain is preemptively, and several trends
are becoming apparent: a focus to mechanism-based analgesia,
integration of regenerative medicine techniques, protocol selections
based upon drug-class synergisms and development of new delivery
forms for historically efficacious molecules.
3:30 pm – 4:20 pm
Evidence? Behind Nutraceuticals
Even if you do not recommend implementation of nutraceuticals
within your practice, you are seen as an ‘authority’ by your clientele.
For that reason alone, you should know what evidence support the use
of nutraceuticals for degenerative joint disease.
3:30 pm – 4:20 pm
Recent Compelling and Clinically Relevant JFMS Updates
This session will summarize a selection of topical papers published
in our JFMS over the past 2 years. Get ready for a speedy, stimulating
presentation!

UTI require additional diagnostic testing and longer duration treatment.

for investigation? If we intervene before a certain point, can we turn
weight and muscle decline around?
10:00 am – 10:50 am
Lower Urinary Tract Health – Metabolism and Stress
Lower urinary tract disorders are common in cats. In previous decades,
the focus of study has been on causes and management of crystalluria.
More recently it has become clear that the majority of cases of LUTD
are idiopathic and the bladder may be the victim, rather than the initiator
of the clinical signs. This presentation looks at Pandora Syndrome, the
roles of metabolism and of stress.
11:00 am – 11:50 am
Feline Chronic Pain Syndromes – More than Musculoskeletal
Over the recent decade, there has been increased awareness of pain and
attention to the alleviation of pain in cats. Investigation has focused

presentation is to address not only musculoskeletal but also other types
of inflammatory and neuropathic pain in cats.
