Dr. Michael Lappin is an ACVIM diplomate (Internal Medicine) that earned his PhD studying Toxoplasma gondii. That work led to his interest in gastroenterology and his group has been working in this field for over 20 years.
Dr. Lappin’s group was one of the first in the USA to use PCR assays to determine whether Giardia spp. of dogs or cats can infect people (usually not). His group has also extensively studied treatments for giardiasis including recent work on use of febantel or fenbendazole. In this lecture series, he will emphasize optimal diagnostic workups and treatment plans.
Dr. Lappin is the chair of the AAFP Feline Zoonoses Guidelines committee and so will update the attendees on how to stay safe when working with GI cases. He will also clarify for the attendees the role that SARS-CoV-2 in GI disease in cats and dogs in the viral lecture.
Dr. Lappin’s group has also been studying probiotics for years. He will give advice concerning which probiotics to use and when, as relates to vomiting and diarrhea in dogs and cats.
