Guelph in 1982. She completed a residency in anesthesia and critical
care at the University of California, Davis in 1988. In 1995, she
became certified as a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary
Anesthesia and Analgesia. Based in Vancouver British Columbia,
Dr. Brock provides veterinarians and their nursing staff with anesthesia
assistance and expertise. This assistance comes in the form of case
management through telemedicine, telephone consultation, in-clinic
delivery of anesthesia to high risk or fragile patients and the training
of veterinarians and technicians in advanced anesthesia techniques.
She is also the author of a quick reference anesthesia publication
entitled Veterinary Anesthesia Update for small animal practitioners.
Lydia Love graduated from the University of Tennessee,
College of Veterinary Medicine in 2002, completed a small animal internship
in San Diego, and then worked for The Humane Society of the United States
organizing and conducting free sterilization clinics in the rural
Southeastern US. This work led her to develop a passionate interest in
anesthesia, pain management, and complete peri-operative care. Dr. Love
returned to the University of Tennessee to complete a residency in
veterinary anesthesia and obtained board certification from the American
College of Veterinary Anesthesia & Analgesia in 2010. She has since been
working in private specialty practice and is a co-editor of and author of
several chapters in the book, Pain Management in Veterinary Practice.
Kris Kruse received her DVM from Oregon State University
in 1984. The following year was spent in mixed animal practice in Seattle,
WA before moving on to advanced specialty training in anesthesiology.
She completed her anesthesia residency at North Carolina State University
from 1985-1988, becoming board certified and a Diplomate of the American
College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia in 1989. Dr. Kruse received
her PhD in pulmonary physiology from North Carolina State University in 1992
and joined the faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison the same year
