I sure hope they find a cure soon, that would be such a blessing for so many.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a pawsome event!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! What an amazing summit! It looks like it should be very beneficial for any dog parent who has a pup suffering from epilepsy. The line of speakers is terrific and the agenda for each day is what I would want to have covered. My only surprise is that you aren't on the panel of speakers. You're such a trailblazer with "Live Gib Strong K-9 Epilepsy Awareness". As I was reading, I really expected to see you on the panel. I was shocked! You must be working in the background. Your fingerprints are all over this one...or maybe that's Gib's paw prints. 😉🐶💞
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing this with all my dog friends and I really hope there's a cure soon!
The fact that such a roster of eminent speakers is ready to talk on Canine Epilepsy shows that it is taken very seriously. I think the time has come for pet illnesses and diseases to be taken seriously has FINALLY come. Progress in areas like this and (feline) FIP brings attention and with it HOPE. The critical thing now is to make treatment for this diseases and the cures available to every pet owner. (I know the FIP cure costs a lot of money).

This is such an amazing lineup of veterinary professionals on this topic! I wish I had known about this sooner so I could have scheduled around these times. But I will definitely be sharing for other veterinary professionals looking at this area of specialty! Is this a yearly conference? If so, I will make sure to make a note about it for next year!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great event, perfect for anyone who cares for an epileptic dog or someone in the field of veterinary medicine.
