It has been quite some time since I have sent a message to the group; life has been extremely hectic and time has not allowed me to make a major contribution to the site until now.
Rest assured, I am making contributions to the resource library, web page content, and fielding email questions from users on a weekly basis but I have had too many commitments to establish the full structure for our planned certification program or conduct a comprehensive rewrite of all web content; the site is quite large and I am the sole webmaster.
The general motto of the VASG is “Do what you can, when you can”; we all contribute based upon what life will allow.
I did want you to know that I have recently updated the VASG homepage: it now features a summary of options for how the US veterinary profession can best cope with the ongoing opioid shortage.
It also includes a new Timely Topic that summarizes our practice’s experience with Cerenia (maropitant) given PO the evening before our patients undergo anesthesia or procedural sedation.
See:

We appreciate your support of the site. Keep your ideas coming; I use your input to prioritize my efforts.
Kind Regards,
Dr. Bob Stein
