The place was packed! Wednesday, January 25 Dr. Scott Angstadt of Keystone Veterinary Services spoke to a packed audience of twenty-five members and non-members. The presentation featured Powerpoint slides/ visuals and insights from Scott's experience as an equine vet. His explanations made complex health processes, such as insulin resistance, Cushings Disease, and hyperinsulinema understandable to the layman. The audience members asked a broad range of questions after the lecture, and Scott talked informally to the group for nearly an hour after his talk. Kim Hirschman, who coordinates the lecture series, has taken our lecture series to the next level! By joining LVDA by January 31, you'll receive the LVDA Omnibus free of charge. Many other GMOs already charge for their Omnibus— joining at the start of the year makes it easier for us to project how many copies we will need and allows us to distribute them more efficiently. So go to the membership form and sign up now!
