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-Elliott 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
where she taught for 15 years. Dr. Kruse has been the medical director at Animalscan
