This week on dvm360: Common pharmaceuticals used in behavior cases, plus more veterinary news

It's the last week of Black Cat Awareness Month! Though this campaign should be practiced year-round, it was spearheaded in response to the difficulties cats with black fur experience due to their association with bad luck or evil—especially during the holidays. To celebrate these majestic felines and the last full week of October, we are delivering a robust mix of engaging content and news right to your fingertips.

Here's a quick look at this week's headlines:

• Shawn P. Messonnier, DVM, explains the platinum versus basic approach when treating heart murmurs in companion animals.
• The Princess Royal visits Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging to recognize the 2021 Queen’s Award for Innovation which spotlights the value of veterinary innovation to the greater community.
• Adam Christman, DVM, MBA, recaps the highlights of the in-person 2021 Fetch dvm360^® conference in Kansas City, Missouri.
• A video interview featuring a veterinarian and animal behaviorist outlining common pharmaceuticals used in behavior cases.
• WSVMA holds its virtual Pacific Northwest Veterinary Conference and honors veterinary professionals at its awards ceremony.
