Dr. Michael Lappin is an ACVIM diplomate (Internal Medicine) that chaired the International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases (ISCAID) Guidelines for the treatment of respiratory infections in dogs and cats.  He has also studied vaccine side effects and vaccine efficacy for a variety of products for dogs and cats that are used to lessen respiratory disease.   Dr. Lappin’s PhD is in parasitology and he will also be able to update the attendees on newer information concerning respiratory parasites.

Dr. Lappin will use many case examples to emphasize important issues concerning the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of respiratory diseases.  Videos will be used to demonstrate several of the techniques used to aid in the diagnosis of many of the syndromes.   The following are the lectures and objectives.  Journal style notes will be used to support the lectures and the slides will be made available.
