Wellington, FL – September 28, 2012 − On September 18-19, 2012, Joan Norton VMD, DACVIM of Norton Veterinary Consulting and Education Resources (NVCER), presented a two-day continuing education program on Equine Metabolic Syndrome for equine veterinarians and technicians in Indianapolis, IN.

Norton, along with Abby Keegan, M.S., discussed the pathogenesis of EMS and up-to-date techniques for on-farm diagnosis and treatment regimes. The program was sponsored by Nutrena.

“We had a great group of equine practitioners at this event,” Norton said. “What is exciting about what I do as an educator is that I can help veterinarians stay current. I have to thank Rob Martin from Nutrena for putting this event together.”

Martin noted that he was pleased to sponsor such a timely event. “Dr. Norton is a knowledgeable and dynamic presenter,” he said. “Nutrena is proud to partner with her to bring the latest information to equine veterinarians and technicians.”
