The Problem Mare (DVM Only) - Laboratory Session Only
The goal of this one day in person hands-on laboratory session is to provide veterinarians with an opportunity to learn about common and less common reproductive abnormalities of the mare, as well as current diagnostic and therapeutic techniques that can be incorporated into clinical practice. Participants must complete the virtual Problem Mare course prior to attending this laboratory session. The virtual problem mare course provides the necessary background lecture material to precede the in-person course. This course is for veterinarians only. Next course will be offered fall of 2025.
Laboratory session will provide hands-on opportunities for collection of uterine culture, cytology and biopsy samples, vaginal speculum examinations and endoscopic evaluation of the uterine lumen. Additional laboratory sessions will be devoted to practical techniques for microbial culture and identification of bacterial organisms as well as how to set up a basic microbiology laboratory in a private practice. In addition, interpretation of endometrial cytology and uterine biopsy samples will be reviewed. Other laboratory sessions will include uterine lavage, intrauterine infusions and specialty treatments for the management of endometritis and subfertile mares.
Laboratory session is for veterinarians only.
