M V M Ainnesota eterinary edical ssociation
Capitol Report
by Thomas Hagerty, DVM
This Minnesota Legislature is in adjournment and will resume on
February , 2020. That will be the second year of the biennium. That
means that bills that were introduced in the 20 session and not acted
upon may be brought up and acted on in this session.
The veterinary immunity bill and the dangerous dog registry has not been resolved nor has the
veterinarian’s responsibility for the use of opioids. We will wait to see if the Board of Pharmacy
introduces other initiatives on this issue.
Of significant concern at this time is a bill introduced in the previous session that would create
a companion animal board of health. At present we have the Board of Animal Health which is
responsible for specific diseases in all domestic animals, rabies in particular. This bill would separate
out companion animals. The concern is that this will create confusion. The bill as proposed is a
husbandry bill and would require some entity to enforce it.
Funding for two separate boards is a concern as the companion animal bill would pull resources
away from the existing Board of Animal
Health. The Board and the Minnesota
Department of Health work closely together
on zoonotic diseases including rabies,
brucellosis and in uen a. Very important
is the regulatory authority of the Board of
Animal Health and the personnel to carry
out the required programs.
The Government Affairs Committee which
will meet on ovember 2 st to discuss
the above legislation as well as any new
legislative initiatives in developing a
legislative agenda by the committee, then
forwarded to the MVMA Board of Directors
for their approval. The MVMA legislative
agenda will also provide direction for MVMA
lobbyists in 2020.
Your legislative team of Cory Bennett,
Cullen Sheehan, Dan Tjornehoj and Tom
Hagerty will closely monitor the legislative
agenda as we go forward to the next
legislative session. Please remember to
support our VET-PAC program as well as
let us know if we can help set up a meeting
with your legislator.

College launches CWD information website
Amidst the recent spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Minnesota, University of
Minnesota researchers are collaborating to slow the disease down. As part of this effort, the
College‘s Center for Animal Health and Food Safety (CAHFS) has built an online resource,
CWD Watch as a hub for educational materials related to CWD. The goal is to translate
leading-edge research for both a regional and global audience in real time.
C D atch has a specific focus on what the College is doing to combat this disease, but the
website’s materials are from a variety of sources (both internal and external to the U). The
center hopes the site will help Minnesota stakeholders stay informed on this animal disease,
while also reaching a global audience to raise awareness. Visit the site at z.umn.edu/
CWDWatch.

Busy Fall with Senior Veterinarian Events
Members of the MVMA Senior Veterinarian Council visited the U of M College of Pharmacy
Institute for Therapeutics Discovery and Development in September. The presentation and
tour of the institute was led by scientist, Michael Walters, PhD. Dr. Walters heads the Lead and
Probe Discovery area of the institute. The mission of the Institute for Therapeutics Discovery &
Development is to carry out
interdisciplinary research,
help educate the next
generation of scientists, and
to enhance the biomedical
research infrastructure at
the University of Minnesota
by creating opportunities for
drug discovery and early pre-
clinical drug development
through collaborations between
various schools, colleges and
research centers, as well as industrial and academic partners throughout the State of Minnesota
and nationwide. The ITDD houses over 40 faculty, staff, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate
students. Their cutting-edge scientific facilities and equipment span 20,000 square feet with
laboratories organized into cores that focus on Chemical Process Development, High Throughput
Screening, Lead and Probe Discovery, Medicinal Chemistry, and Pharmacology. They also offer
purification and analytical services.
In October, 35 people traveled to Elkton, MN to visit Dr. Jerry Sprau and his wife Carol on their
farmstead. It was a great day filled with a speaker on ethanol production and a wonderful lunch
of grilled burgers and delicious side dishes. The decorated pole barn/event center was a perfect
place to catch up with old and new friends. It was too chilly for our hayride tour but we saw some
great farm equipment without having to go far. Thank you to Dr. Sprau and Carol for hosting and
welcoming our group to your farm.
The next meeting of the Senior Veterinarian Council will be during the MVMA Annual Meeting in
February (2020) when Dr. Trevor Ames will be the guest speaker and updating members on his new
role as the U of M Associate Vice President, Academic Health Sciences, in the Office of the Executive
Vice President and Provost.

you retain control and use of your assets
during your lifetime, and can modify the
gift if your circumstances change. Gifts

you use can consist of a specific dollar
amount, a percentage of your estate, or a
portion of what is left after you have made
bequests to your family.
Want to learn more about these charitable
giving strategies? We will be doing a

estate planning considerations and
charitable giving on December 2th at
noon. Contact the MVMA at 651-645-

more and sign up. In the meantime, if you
are looking for a great charity to support
as you plan your charitable giving,
consider the Minnesota Veterinary Medical
Foundation. You can learn more about the
MVMF at mvmfcares.org.
Please consider joining Dr. Reierson, Dr.
Schwartz, and others in leaving a legacy
that can make the difference for a young
aspiring veterinarian striving to complete
their education. Consult with your
professional advisor in using any of the
above or other planning methods.

Feeling Lucky?
Try a New Career and Life as a Small Town Veterinarian
by Kelly Andrews
I walked through the doors of the
Veterinary Clinic of Clara City and knew
instantly that it was a special place. Dr.
James Koewler led me on a tour, and
I locked eyes with a beautiful golden
retriever, who was abandoned over the
weekend on the side of the road in rural
Minnesota.
For 60 plus years a veterinary clinic has
operated in Clara City and Dr. Koehler
has pivoted this veterinary practice from
large to small animal to accommodate
the needs of his community. But time
has come for Dr. Koewler to retire. He
dreams of gardening and donating his
locally grown food to the area food shelf.
But without a veterinarian to run the
Clara City Vet Clinic and the nearby satellite office in Montevideo, M , animals like the abandoned
golden retriever I met will not have convenient access to veterinary care.
hile Dr. oewler knows the end of 20 is the right time to retire, it would make him a lot happier
knowing his clients would still have a veterinarian in Clara City to bring their companion animals
to. See our Practice For Sale classified section for more information.
I didn’t just visit
the Veterinary
Clinic of Clara City
once. My husband
and I went back a
week later to pick
up that beautiful,
stray golden
retriever. To our
luck and much of
his, we were able
to bring him home.
Which is why it
is no surprise
my daughter
started to call him
“Lucky”. Thanks to Dr. Koewler and Lucky for
making Clara City my best clinic visit yet!
I enjoy visiting member clinics and learning
more about the clinic history and the lives

Cyber Crime is a Reality
By Bill Butler CIC, CISR
Butler Vet Insurance
Cyber crime doesn’t just affect large, multi-national
corporations. For the modern veterinary practice, the two
most prevalent types of cyber crimes are “Ransomware” and
“Social Engineering”. Ransomware, a type of cyber crime
where the hacker holds your data in exchange for money, is
becoming more common for small businesses, veterinarians
in particular. Bill Butler, owner of Butler Vet Insurance,
said, “I know of two large suburban animal hospitals that
have experienced a Ransomware attack over the past year.”
Social Engineering, where a hacker makes an employee
think that the hacker is the employee’s manager and asks the employee to make a purchase, is also
becoming more common. “We had another situation with an employee where a hacker posed as the
manager and asked an employee to purchase iTunes gift cards,” he said.
Given the rising frequency of cyber crime, what’s worrying to Butler is the lack of coverage for this
in most veterinary practices. Many veterinary offices don t have cyber liability insurance at all,
he said, “and some don’t have enough coverage because it’s just added on to their commercial
insurance policy.” He explained that the coverage that’s added on to a commercial policy usually
has lower coverage limits and is narrow in what it protects.
So how do you protect yourself from this ever increasing crime? The best way, according to Butler,
is “to purchase a standalone cyber liability insurance policy.” These standalone policies typically
provide both higher and broader limits and “give practice owners peace of mind.”

VT Certification Update
Veterinary Technician Week (October 13-19) was a kickoff for
some new exciting events for certified veterinary technicians.
To celebrate certified veterinary technicians, MVMA
offered a free one hour webinar CE event, “Understanding
Components of Dental Home Care Products” presented by
Maria Nellessen, CVT, VTS (dentistry). CVT’s should also be
on the lookout for emails regarding future free CE events as
well as a quarterly e-newsletter starting in 2020.
Certification renewal for 20 has concluded for the year.
e had a total of 2 renewals, which has decreased
slightly from the last renewal period by 1%. It is never too
late to renew certification ate fees for 20 renewal period are 0 and renewals must be
mailed (online renewal has expired). In addition, a 5-credit penalty is assessed and the 5 credits
must be both scientific and interactive.
If your CVT has not received their certification card by now, they are non-compliant and need to
either send in missing information or complete more CE. For those recertifying in 2020, look for
CVT renewal information being sent out later this month. Any questions can be directed via email
to Maria at [email protected].
Have a technician looking for CE? Check out our Vet Tech Resources or CE calendar on our
webpage (www.mvma.org). Or check out the Minnesota Association of Veterinary Technicians
(MAVT) webpage for CE: www.mavt.net.

New Standard Issued by USP
The U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) is a scientific, nonprofit organi ation that sets
standards for the identity, strength, quality, and purity of medicines, food ingredients, and dietary
supplements manufactured, distributed and consumed worldwide. The organization has drafted
a fairly new chapter, <800> Hazardous Drugs – Handling in Healthcare Settings proposed for
inclusion in the U.S. Pharmacopeia and The National Formulary (USP–NF), which provides Food
and Drug Administration (FDA)-enforceable pharmaceutical standards. The chapter provides
guidance on the handling of hazardous drugs in healthcare settings, and includes requirements
for receipt, storage, mixing, preparing, compounding, dispensing, and administration of hazardous
drugs to protect the patient, healthcare personnel, and environment. It covers all healthcare
entities that store, prepare, transport, or administer hazardous drugs, including pharmacies and
veterinary clinics; and it applies to all healthcare personnel who handle hazardous drugs, including
veterinarians and veterinary technicians.
Although the USP is a standard-setting organization and NIOSH develops information and programs
related to occupational safety and health, USP’s standards and NIOSH’s guidance inform the FDA,
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the state regulatory agencies – all
of which have regulatory authority. In essence, the standards become rules because they become
incorporated into the enforcement regulations of state and/or federal regulatory agencies. Although
it remains to be determined, hazardous drug handling standards could be enforced in veterinary
practices by veterinary medical boards, OSHA, or potentially health departments.
According to Dr. Cody Wiberg with the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy, “pharmacies already have to
comply with applicable federal and state OSHA standards when handling hazardous substances
– in order to protect their employees. (And have actually had to comply with those standards for
years). Many of state standards for handling hazardous substances are similar (if not identical) to
the standards found in USP 800. If a business meets USP 800 standards, it will be in compliance
with OSHA statutes and rules. DOLI offers
free OSHS consultations. DOLI can also levy
significant fines if OSHA standards are being
violated. They prefer to do the consultations to
get businesses in compliance – before they go
down the path of issuing fines.
