Do No Harm, The Opioid Crisis in Veterinary Medicine on September 22, 3 pm, ET will be hosted by Angela Ardolino and Dr. Josie Beug, DVM.
Participants will learn how our pets are affected by the overuse of opioids, allergy medications, antibiotics, and steroids, along with the most effective alternative treatments.
Just like humans, pets suffer from the overuse of antibiotics, steroids, and opioids, which do more harm than good. And pets can't tell us they're suffering, so we don't know if these pharmaceuticals are helping or hurting until it's too late.
According to the FDA, a prescription medication error is one of the leading causes of death in veterinary medicine. "We want to do something about this epidemic and have decided that educating pet parents and caretakers is the way to go," said Angela Ardolino of Your Natural Dog, in the press release. "Ardolino will host the event along with a panel of respected holistic veterinarians, including Dr. PJ Broadfoot, Dr. Ruth Roberts, Dr. Sarah Urban, Dr. Ava Frick, Dr. Tejinder Sodhi of Ayush Herbs, and experts like Maria Ringo of Carna4 and Dr. James St. Clair of Top Dog."
This event, the first in a series, will help to educate pet parents, pet caretakers, healthcare workers, and even veterinarians about the power of medicinal herbs, plants, and fungi that have been proven effective for thousands of years for everything from pain and inflammation to cognitive decline and cancer.
