Pet CPR
Due to the overwhelming number of requests for pet cpr and first aid; we will begin offering the Pet CPR & First Aid certification beginning March 1, 2018. This course will be provided in alignment with Pet Emergency Education and will offer the student a comprehensive base knowledge of the assessment of a pet related emergencies including burns, poison control, shock, choking, allergic reactions, andcpr. Pet Emergency Education is a nationally recognized training and certification providing pet training to animal and veterinary professionals as well as pet owners.
The curriculum provided is based upon empirical research conducted at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. The Pet Emergency certification is also affiliated with such organizations as FEMA and the American Association of Veterinary Boards and is a continuing education provider for Certification for Council for Professional Dog Trainers.
Having recently completed the FEMA Animals in Disasters Certification Program and the Pet Emergency Education Instructor program I am looking forward to offering this class as part of our existing curriculum. If you or your organization are interested in hosting a Pet CPR & First Aid class, feel free to contact me directly or Pet Emergency Education at http://petemergencyeducation.com/

Opiod Addiction and Treatment

1/15/2018

Comments

 
With opiod addiction skyrocketing in the United States and especially in our rural communities, the latest data indicates that drug overdose deaths in the US increased by approximately 21 percent between 2015 and 2016. This was an increase from a record high of more than 52,000 to a new record of nearly 64,000. Unfortunately, approximately two-thirds of those overdoses were linked to opioids.
With American consuming more opiods than any other country, the questions we must ask is "Why?" Perhaps it is because life has lost meaning for many of the American population due to economic and social changes.
 Maybe this meaninglessness is further contributing to total despair? Help and further treatment is on the horizon. A new opioid addiction treatment that is injected monthly instead of taken daily as a tablet was approved recently by the Food and Drug Administration. This new product is known as Sublocade. 
​It is speculated that this new version of the drug may help patients reduce relapses, disrupt the treatment market, and possibly dispel misconceptions about the drug’s potential for abuse. It has been reiterated across various professional organizations that this treatment could become the first-line medication for opioid addiction replacing naloxone. Further, It could open up opportunities for getting more patients on buprenorphine.
