Specialty Program Titled: Pumps and Filters: An In-depth Look at the Cardiovascular and Renal Systems

This year's nine-hour advanced program was devoted to the discussion of heart and renal disease in the avian patient, how to diagnose it, classify it, and possibly treat it. These two organ systems are still the most difficult to fully evaluate, but new technology continues to improve our chances of giving these avian patients a longer, better quality of life.

The morning session was devoted to avian heart disease and the afternoon session was devoted to disease of the avian urinary system. The following summaries incorporate more than one lecture, but from the same author.
