Lecture Description:
Snake envenomation is a critical medical emergency requiring swift, evidence-based intervention to improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications in veterinary patients. Kristin Lake, B.Sc., C.V.T., has developed a comprehensive protocol that integrates current best practices in snakebite management with the advanced capabilities of VenomVet/VenomVetPlus Antivenom. This protocol is designed to guide veterinary professionals through the assessment, treatment, and continuous monitoring of patients undergoing antivenom therapy, ensuring precision, safety, and optimal care throughout the envenomation response process. Through a structured and practical approach, this protocol supports clinical decision-making while streamlining the use of VenomVet/VenomVetPlus technology in real-time treatment settings.

Learning Objectives:
* Knowledge of the medical math behind an antivenom infusion.
* How to distinguish snakebites and dry bites with a blood smear analysis.
* Why the rattlesnake vaccine is not recommended by the AVMA or National Snakebite Support.

Thank you to hound for having me come talk about a patient population I’m so passionate about!

I’ll be discussing with Suzanne Theresa Thomas what moral injury is and how it can be prevented, how the emotions that are tied to moral injury can be expressed in a healthy way, how leadership and management teams can protect their veterinary professionals on the floor, and how if left untreated moral injury can contribute negatively to the overall mental health epidemic we are experiencing in the veterinary field. We will also discuss how to continue to advocate for your patients when you feel like your voice is falling on deaf ears.

Tune in October 14th at www.lvt.vet to listen in!

Happy Vet Tech Week!
