***If using a mobile GPS device in your car or on your phone, please be aware that many of them will not be able to locate either "Spur 399" or the street address. You may want to try variations of the street name, such as "Texas Highway 399", or "Texas 399", or "Highway 399". If none of those work, try entering it as the intersection of "Medical Center Drive and Gateway Blvd.". Please note that many GPS units may direct you to "Spur Lane", which is nowhere near CHEC.***

Numelvi: The Next Generation of Itch Relief Allergic dermatitis is a commonly diagnosed condition and can be complex to manage. A new product has recently come to market support case management. Join us in learning about Numelvi, a second generation janus kinase inhibitor that provides a safe, effective, and simple itch relief to patients with allergic dermatitis. "Nobivac NXT FeLV: The next generation of non-adjuvanted protection" Description: Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is not a new thing. We have all been talking about, reviewing, diagnosing, and managing FeLV for as long as we have been veterinarians, and the attention we pay to this retrovirus is well-deserved. Infection with FeLV sets the stage for a battle between the cat’s immune system and the virus: with lifelong consequences if the virus manages to integrate into the cat’s DNA. Safe and effective protection against this pathogen is of paramount importance, and Merck Animal Health’s NobivacĀ® NXT FeLV brings that protection to the next level with cutting-edge vaccine technology in a non-adjuvanted, 0.5 mL dose with a two year duration of immunity. In this presentation, learn how RNA particle vaccines are allowing us to protect our feline friends against an old virus in an entirely new way. |
