Co-presented with the Colorado Association of Certified Veterinary Technicians, this program integrates technician-relevant insights throughout, so what you learn can be applied more effectively in real practice settings.
Join Drs. Jackie Campbell and Andrea Oliver for expert practical, case-based sessions in small animal dermatology and large animal internal medicine, plus an optional equine ultrasound wet lab.
While CE West is veterinarian-focused, sessions are intentionally delivered with technician application woven throughout, making this a valuable learning experience for both roles.
Up to 12 hours of CE. One weekend. Right when you need it most.

When treating livestock in the field, fluid therapy can feel like a logistical nightmare. This case-based session strips away the complexity and focuses on practical, field-friendly approaches to fluid needs. We’ll cover how to estimate deficits, choose between oral and IV routes when resources are limited, and select the right fluids for common cases.
9:00 - 9:50 am
Andrea Oliver, DVM, DACVIM (LAIM)
Equine fluid therapy isn’t just for the referral hospital. This session empowers the general practitioner to confidently manage fluid resuscitation in the barn aisle. Using real-world cases, we will walk through calculating fluid deficits on the fly, selecting the appropriate fluids in a crisis and managing continuous IV fluids outside of a hospital setting.

Canine atopic dermatitis is of the most common diseases you will see in clinical practice. With innovative treatment options emerging there are even more therapeutic choices available for your canine patients. This presentation will focus on what patient, client, and therapeutic factors may influence your decision making and case outcomes in your atopic canine patients. We will cover the pathophysiology of
canine atopic dermatitis and apply this knowledge to therapeutic options available. At the end of the presentation the clinician will be able to talk a client through available options for thoughtful decision making in the therapeutic plan for their pet.

Description: Dermatologic cases can be challenging even for a specialist. This
presentation will focus on some of the more common dermatologic pitfalls seen in referral practice, and how the general practitioner can improve their diagnostic and therapeutic skill set for their challenging dermatology cases.

In this split session, we will discuss updates in two very frustrating disease processes: equine chronic hives and equine strangles. This update cuts through the noise to deliver the latest consensus on strangles management and what is coming down the pipe. We’ll then pivot to urticaria, providing a straightforward, step-by-step approach to diagnosing and managing frustrating equine hypersensitivity reactions.
2:00 - 2:50 pm
Andrea Oliver, DVM, DACVIM (LAIM)
We’ve experienced some major changes to parasite management strategies in the last 10 years. With anthelmintic resistance reaching critical levels, how do we navigate the roller coaster? This session provides a high-yield update on the latest parasiticide strategies, and the latest in how to use the Fecal Egg Count (FEC) protocols. You’ll leave with practical, evidence-based recommendations you can immediately implement in your clients’ herds.

How do we make the most of our time with our patient and pet parents? This presentation will focus on a variety of tips and tricks to improve communication and efficiency in your dermatologic examinations. Our focus in this presentation will cover tools and strategies that can help in efficiency prior to examination, during the examination, and in follow up. The practitioner will emerge with a variety of fresh ideas to help streamline their dermatologic exam.

When a neonates start to slide, every minute counts. This session focuses on the critical first hours of neonatal sepsis in foals and calves. Designed for field response needs, we will discuss recognizing the subtle, early warning signs of a septic neonate, initiating aggressive field stabilization, selecting empiric antimicrobials, and having the tough “referral vs. field treatment” conversation with owners.
9:00 - 9:50 am
Andrea Oliver, DVM, DACVIM (LAIM)
Does the thought of calculating base excess make your head spin? This session takes the headache out of acid-base disturbances! We will break down the physiology of the acidotic neonate into easily digestible, actionable steps. You will learn how to quickly interpret stall-side blood gas results, calculate bicarbonate deficits without needing a textbook, and confidently use fluids to correct metabolic derangement across large animal species.

Dermatology can be fun. During this presentation we will review interactive dermatology cases and demonstrate simple basic dermatology diagnostics via video examples. The goal of this presentation is to improve dermatologic skill set for the clinician to provide a comprehensive therapeutic plan to address all concurrent itch factors in the pruritic patient.

Otitis externa can be a recurrent and frustrating issue in our small animal patients. If otitis is not managed appropriately it can result in changes to the ear canal including stenosis, and eventual mineralization of the ear canal necessitating surgical intervention. This presentation will cover the common underlying causes of otitis externa, keys to successful management of otitis externa, and the available treatment
modalities for otitis externa.
