Upcoming In-Person CE Meeting — Winter 2022
Thursday, November 17, 2022 —— 6:15pm – 8:30pm
“Zennovation in Sedation:
Rethinking What Is Possible”
Presented by: Dr. Julie Kluxdal
In this educational presentation, we will discuss sedation in dogs. The foundation will be set by reviewing the basic physiology behind commonly used sedatives in dogs. We will discuss the most commonly used sedatives and reversal agents, and introduce a novel sedative.
Dr. Julie Kluxdal is a 1998 graduate of the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. She spent eight years in clinical practice. Her practice experience includes canine, feline, emergency, exotic pet and wildlife medicine.
Her career transitioned to the animal health industry when she accepted a position as a Field Technical Services Veterinarian in 2006 and most recently joined Dechra Veterinary Products as a Professional Services Veterinarian in November 2019. Outside of work Julie enjoys spending time outdoors with her family hiking and biking at home in California. When they can, they enjoy visiting other parts of the United States and the world. Her family includes her husband, son, a house full of cats and one snake.

It has been a pleasure to serve this community, and I am very grateful for all the people that I have met and gotten to know during this time.
