Meet Dr. Robert Leder,
2015 NEWVMA President-Elect
Dr. Leder was born
in
Milwaukee,
but grew up on a
dairy farm in Lincoln County since
he was five years
old. “I was said to
jump for joy upon
news of moving to
a farm,” he said. As
Dr. Robert Leder
a child, his interest
was in horses; his
father used draft horses for his maple syrup
business. However, projects with dairy and
sheep became his focus as a member of the
4-H Club in high school.
Visits from the veterinarian also fed into his
interest in dairy and sheep. “I was always intrigued by visits from the local vet,” he added,
“in particular, his ability to determine if a cow
was pregnant.”
He graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1979 with a degree in science; he
also received his doctorate in veterinary
medicine there in 1982. In addition, he completed a food animal internship at the University of Idaho’s Veterinary Teaching Center in
Caldwell. From there, he had a clinical dairy
practice in Eden for a year, and worked a predominantly large animal practice in Gillett
for a year and in Clintonville for 22 years.
Currently, he is a partner in a nine-doctor
practice, the United Veterinary Service, with
offices in Bear Creek and Clintonville. He
was also a Clinical Externship Mentor at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison and at the
University of Minnesota for seven years.
Dr. Leder and his wife, Penny, live on a 40acre sheep farm named Bear Creek Sheep
Station, which takes up most of his spare time.
In addition to her volunteer work and being
treasurer of their church, Penny is the main
daytime shepherd at lambing time. Rounding
out the household is an Airedale named India.
Also included is their sheep-herding border
collie and certified therapy dog, Phantom,
and his horse, Ted, a Suffolk/Standardbred
cross gelding. Dr. Leder’s an outdoorsman,
enjoying biking, hiking, hunting and driving/
riding horses, and both of them love to travel.
organization to help sheep producers learn
more about OPP (Ovine Progressive Pneumonia).”
Dr. Leder has served on the executive board
of the Western Wisconsin Veterinary Association (WVMA) and currently chairs the
Large Animal Welfare sub-committee. He
has also served on the Wisconsin Scrapie
Board, Wisconsin Sheep Breeder Co-Op
Board and the Governor’s Grow Wisconsin
Livestock Initiative Panel.
Dr. Leder’s expectations for the coming year
are “to work with the board addressing issues
facing our members and continue CE and social opportunities in a bipartisan spirit.”
Their daughter, Heidi, is a small animal veterinarian in Greenville, N.C., and son, Casey, is
a board-certified emergency room physician
at Touro Infirmary in New Orleans.
Dr. Leder has been published in The Bovine
Practitioner, the Journal of the American
Veterinary Medical Association, and The
Shepherd magazine. He has given presentations on multiple-sheep health, the Dairy
Animal Wellness Program and on the proper
handling of down cows.
Additionally, he is a founding member of the
OPP Concerned Sheep Breeders Society, “an

Study may give hope to pets with
out-of-date rabies vaccine that are
exposed to virus
From the AVMA – A tragic decision was
forced on a loving dog owner when her pet
was bitten by a rabid skunk. Because the dog
was only days overdue for its rabies booster
vaccine, the owner, according to published
news stories, was forced to choose between
a lengthy period of quarantine for her pet
or euthanizing it. In this sad case, the pet
owner made the painful decision to end her
dog’s life through euthanasia.
It is situations such as this that prompted a
group of researchers to embark on a study
to see whether they could make a difference
and help avoid similar cases in the future.
The results of their efforts appear in a
scientific report in the Jan. 15, 2015, issue
of the Journal of the American Veterinary
Medical Association, and they help paint
what might be a clearer picture about the
options veterinarians and public health
officials have when faced with similar
situations.
“The general public gets to see cases
like this once a year,” said Dr. Mike
Moore, project manager for the rabies lab
at the Kansas State University College
of Veterinary Medicine’s Veterinary
Diagnostic Laboratory and the report’s
lead author. “We get calls like this – if
not weekly – every other week. I was a
practicing veterinarian for 23 years, and
it’s really, really sad for me not to be able to
help these people.”
The study shows that pets whose rabies
vaccination was considered out-ofdate at the time of exposure to a rabid
animal responded well after receiving
an immediate rabies booster and did not
develop any signs of the illness. The
authors hope that the findings bring some
clarity to guidelines that currently call for
such animals to face lengthy periods of
quarantine or be euthanized.
“Up to now, there hasn’t been any scientific
data presented for animals that are out-ofdate on their vaccinations,” Moore said.
“Public health officials didn’t have any
measurable way to make their decision. Our
results show that the two groups of animals
– those that are out-of-date and those that
are up-to-date – respond the same, and
we feel they should be treated the same. If
animals considered out-of-date have been
primed with an initial vaccine, then when
they’re boostered after exposure, their titer
goes up really high, really fast, and that’s
what we want in the case of exposure to
rabies.”
When confronted with cases of confirmed
or suspected rabies exposure, veterinarians
and public health officials typically
refer to or rely on the Compendium of
Animal Rabies Prevention and Control for
guidance. According to the current version
of the compendium, dogs and cats with
current rabies vaccination status that have
been exposed to an animal confirmed or
suspected to be rabid should immediately
receive a rabies booster vaccination and
be observed for 45 days, most often under
the pet owner’s supervision with no contact
restrictions.
The compendium guidelines are less clear
when it comes to recommendations for dogs
and cats overdue for a booster vaccination,
suggesting that these animals be evaluated
on a case-by-case basis that takes into
account a number of criteria. Unfortunately,
this recommendation for a case-by-case
risk assessment, coupled with concerns for
public safety, a fear of liability and the lack
of published clinical data, commonly leads
to conservative handling of these animals,
which most often means either euthanasia
or a six-month quarantine.
“Hopefully this closes the gap,” said
report co-author Rolan Davis, reference
diagnostician at the Kansas State Veterinary
Dr. Lisa Peters
named WVMA
Veterinarian
of the Year
Diagnostic Laboratory rabies lab. “The one
paying the ultimate price in situations
like this is the pet. It’s our hope
that people will report every
instance of possible exposure
to rabies and not be penalized if
they are five days overdue.”
Dr. Lisa Peters accepts her award
The authors are careful to point out that all
pets should be vaccinated at the appropriate
age and should receive their regular rabies
boosters. The study, while providing hope
to pets considered out-of-date who have
been exposed to rabies, also reinforces the
critical importance of that initial rabies
vaccine.
can’t tell us if they’ve had an encounter
with a rabid animal. Routine vaccination
covers for those exposures that the owners
might not recognize. That’s why pet owners
can’t vaccinate once and forget about it.”
“Animals don’t communicate if they have
had a possible exposure,” Davis said. “They

Legislative Update – Unlicensed Practice
Jim Ziegler District 4
Of great concern to all veterinarians in
private practice is the act of unlicensed
practice. This affects all aspects of our
profession, whether it be companion
animal, food animal, or equine practice.
It is a rare veterinarian who cannot cite
examples of unlicensed practice in his/her
practice area.
Practitioners who file complaints
regarding unlicensed practice are
typically frustrated because essentially
nothing ever comes of the complaint.
This is because complaints currently go
to the D.S.P.S. (Department of Safety and
Professional Services) where the V.E.B.
(Veterinary Examining Board) is housed.
D.S.P.S. deals with similar complaints
from well over 100 professions, including
other health professionals (chiropractors,
dentists, etc.) and many of the trades, such
as electricians, plumbers, etc. Currently,
complaints need to be referred back to
the local D.A.’s (District Attorneys), who
have no time or motivation to give our
complaints any attention when they are
already overwhelmed with bigger issues.
While the D.S.P.S. is often accused
of “doing nothing,” they deal with a
phenomenal number of complaints and
if local D.A.’s are not willing to follow
through with prosecution, the D.S.P.S has
no “teeth” to do so on their own.
The WVMA has been addressing
this issue for years, and realize
that the only way to hopefully
stop or deter unlicensed
practice is to move the V.E.B.
to D.A.T.C.P. (Department
of Agriculture, Trade and
Consumer Protection). This
would largely solve our problems
since D.A.T.C.P. could essentially
issue a cease and desist to the
guilty parties. While this transition
seemed to be a slam dunk, it has
been delayed since other professions
found out about the potential move,
and now everyone wants to jump
ship from the D.S.P.S. and get on the
D.A.T.C.P. band wagon.
While all of this is frustrating, there is
steady progression in the right direction,
and I have no doubt that the WVMA will
ultimately be granted it’s request to move
the V.E.B.
The question is what should practitioners
do in the meantime? The answer is to
keep filing complaints with the D.S.P.S.
As the WVMA legal team moves forward
with this, at some point the D.S.P.S. will
be asked how many veterinary complaints
they filed. If the answer is “none,” there
will be little motivation for the state
to change anything. If the answer is
“hundreds,” then our request will have
merit.
D.S.P.S. can be contacted via phone, email,
or mail. The WVMA office can assist you
with filing complaints, if needed. I would
encourage every practitioner to report
cases of unlicensed practice. While this
may currently seem futile, efforts now
will help progress in the future.
The WVMA has identified unlicensed
practice as one of its priority issues. They
cannot achieve their goal without the
support of its membership. Please help in
protecting the integrity of our profession
as others try to quack what we worked so
hard at in achieving our veterinary degrees
and maintain with C.E., hard work and a
lifetime commitment to upholding the
standard of our profession.
Second Annual NEWVMA Banquet and Conference a Success
Over 100 people attended the NEWVMA Conference & Banquet on Saturday, December 6th,
2014, in Green Bay, WI. In the afternoon there were two CE tracks including: Dr. Jennifer
Brazzel of Marshfield Labs speaking to technicians on clinical pathology topics and Dr. Ellison Bentley of the UW-SVM speaking to small animal veterinarians on ophthalmology.
In the evening prior to the banquet, happy hour drinks and hot appetizers were served. At
the banquet, Dr. Jane Clark, WVMA President spoke to the group followed by our keynote
speaker Dr. Tony Goldberg of the UW-SVM who discussed his research travels and the rise
of genomics technology in diagnosing disease.
Thank you to our event sponsors: Zoetis, Boehringer-Ingelheim, Merck, Marshfield Labs,
UW Veterinary Care and the Fox Valley Animal Referral Center.
Tips from the Ophthalmology Seminar:
• If on the applanation tonometer you get several readings that are all a bit different, but are
all within the 5% variance, you should believe the lowest reading. There are many things that
can increase the pressure in the eye, but there is nothing we can do to falsely lower the pressure
readings.
• The indolent ulcers are often called Spontaneous Chronic Corneal Epithelial Defect(SCCED).
We were taught that there is no known cause for these ulcers. Now the thinking that there is
continual trauma to the eye that creates these ulcers.
• Treatment of deep ulcers can include serum drops 4-6 times per day.
• All cases of glaucoma treated medically will fail within 1 year. Also, the “good eye” in a primary glaucoma case will be lost within 8 months with no treatment, while the “good eye” has
a median time of onset to glaucoma of 33 months with prophylactic treatment. These facts are
a huge part of the education that needs to be done with the client when diagnosing glaucoma.
Accreditation and
Certification Training
In order to conduct regulatory work, such as
official TB testing and signing certificates
of veterinary inspection, veterinarians must
also be accredited by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture. Before being accredited,
you must complete an accreditation seminar
in the state where you practice. You may
also need certifications specific to the state
where you practice.
The Wisconsin office of the USDAVeterinary Services and the Division
of Animal Health in the Wisconsin
Department of Agriculture, Trade and
Consumer Protection (DATCP) offer this
seminar twice a year: An evening session
at the University of Wisconsin School of
Veterinary Medicine and a later session,
usually at DATCP’s Madison headquarters.
The additional certification training may be
online or in-person.
The next accreditation seminar will be
held:
Tuesday, February 24, 2015 at 5:00 p.m.
UW-School of Veterinary Medicine
2015 Linden Drive
Madison, WI 53706
Room 2360
If you would like to attend, you will need
to indicate that with an email response to
Valencia Watts.
First-time Attendees:
If you are a
veterinarian and this is your first time
being accredited in any state, please contact
Valencia Watts to make sure you have the
correct documentation in order to attend
(proof of initial accreditation training). If
you do not have the required work done
beforehand, you will not be permitted to
attend.

Tips from the Clinical
Pathology Seminar:
• The easiest way to find Blastomycosis on cytology is to look for large clumps of neutrophils.
These often clump around the Blasto spores.
• If both inflammatory cells and tissue cells are
present in your cytology sample, send it out to a
pathologist. Inflammation can cause changes to
tissue cells, making them difficult to interpret.
• If neutrophils only are present, the cause is
often bacteria. If neutrophils and macrophages
are present, fungal infection or chronic bacterial
infection is more often the cause.
Tuberculosis
Certification
TB certification is required to conduct TB
testing in Wisconsin. Certification must be
renewed every 5 years to remain eligible to
conduct TB testing. The training is usually
offered two times per year.
The next TB certification seminar will be
held on Wednesday, February 25, 2015
beginning at 5:00 p.m. in the lecture
hall at the UW School of Veterinary
Medicine.
Upon completion of the training,
veterinarians that are licensed and
accredited in Wisconsin will receive a
certificate indicating that they are certified
to conduct TB testing in Wisconsin.
Additional training is required to conduct
TB testing in cervids.

Topic:
“What you need to know in the first 5 minutes”
by David Liss BA, RVT, VTS (ECC, SAIM), CVPM
The first 5 minutes is an introductory lecture describing the chain of events
that occur from the minute an emergency walks into the veterinary hospital,
to its admission to the hospital. Triage, shock, patient assessment, blood
pressure, fluid therapy, and pain management will all be discussed. The
lecture highlights the role of the veterinary technician in the emergency
room and lays the groundwork for any hospital to apply basic yet powerful
concepts to dealing with emergencies.

Scholarship Winners Announced
NEWSFLASH
The NEWVMA Scholarship Committee
awards a scholarship to a deserving
third year UW-SVM student annually.
This year there were two outstanding
candidates, Bradley Beaumier and Peter
Strassberg will each receive $550 to help
with their veterinary studies.
New Member Benefit Announced
Peter Strassberg
Bradley Beaumier
Bradley Beaumier grew up in Spruce,
a small town in Oconto County with a
menagerie of pets. While in high school,
his family started a dairy farm. He also
worked at a small animal practice. These
experiences contributed to his interest
in veterinary medicine. At UW-Green
Bay as an undergraduate he worked on
a research project optimizing a PCR
protocol for detecting a single heartworm
larva in pools of mosquitoes with the
hope that the research could help in
determining the prevalence of heartworm
in wild reservoirs in Wisconsin.
He completed his undergraduate degree
with a double major in Human Biology,
and Cellular and Molecular Biology.
While at the UW-SVM he has maintained
a stellar GPA while being a member of
AAEP, SCAVMA and the WVMA. He
also was elected his Class Representative
to act as a liaison between students,
faculty and the school. After graduation
he hopes to return to his community as a
mixed animal veterinarian.
The NEWVMA
Peter Strassberg grew up in residential
Kaukauna, but his family is one generation
removed from a farm so he spent time
on the family dairy farm which sparked
his interest in large animal veterinary
medicine. He continued to work on a
dairy farm through high school. At UWMadison he acquired an Animal Science
degree. During this time in Madison,
he was involved in many agriculture and
dairy-focused activities such as Alpha
Gamma Rho Fraternity, and Badger Dairy
Club plus he was involved in beef cattle
genetics research, the World Dairy Expo,
student managing the SVM’s Charmany
Dairy Teaching Herd, and was a dairy
summer sales intern for Pfizer Animal
Health.
While in veterinary school, he has
performed research with the UW-SVM’s
Food Animal Production Medicine
team and as part of the Merial Summer
Scholar program. He is the Co-President
of the local Student Chapter of AABP, a
member of the WVMA as well as the UWSVM Veterinary Business Management
Association.
After graduation he would like to continue
with his interest in bovine medicine and
reproduction as well as be an advocate
for food animal production which he feels
is facing a lot of pressure in this age of
modern agriculture.
