Robert A. Wagner, VMD, DIPL ABVP speaking on GnRH Agonists and GnRH Vaccine Study and the Distemper Titer Study. Mike Dutton, DVM, DIPL ABVP speaking on Exotic Mammal Board Certification and Cardiology.
 
Participant comment:
I felt the conference covered very take-home topics that were applicable immediately. And many have long-term potential to change how we approach ferret preventative medicine, diseases in ferrets with medical and surgical options.
