ITHACA, N.Y. – Newswise — We share our homes with more than 160 million of them, and when our dogs and cats get sick we do everything possible to help them get well again.
But what is the definition of “possible” when it comes to pet care?
On Tuesday, Feb. 15, at 12:30 p.m. at Cornell University’s ILR Conference Center in Midtown Manhattan, two of the nation’s leaders in cutting-edge companion animal will met with members of the media for an on-the-record conversation about the best in advanced veterinary care, today and in the years to come.
Dr. Susan Hackner is a board-certified critical care specialist and chief medical officer at the newly opened Cornell University Veterinary Specialist facility in Stamford, Conn. Hackner, the former head of the department of critical care and emergency medicine at the Animal Medical Center in New York City, helped build one of the nation’s first veterinary intensive care units.
Dr. Mandi Kleman is a staff cardiologist at Cornell University Veterinary Specialist, and a pioneer in the use of interventional balloon valvuloplasty. The revolutionary technique is now being used at CUVS to treat subaortic stenosis, a life-threatening condition in which a muscular ring develops soon after birth and obstructs the left side of an animal’s heart. Kleman is a leading expert in dog and cat cardiac health.
