Veterinary Clinical Podcasts

Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are joined by the fantastic Richard Sparrow, Staff Clinician in Internal Medicine here at the RVC. Richard recently published a paper looking at relapse rates in immune mediated diseases (immune mediated haemolytic anaemia, immune mediated thrombocytopenia and immune mediated polyarthritis) in dogs and we thought to use this as a sounding board for a conversation about this topic, how to treat and taper immunosuppressive drugs and what do we do about ongoing preventative healthcare, such as vaccination. We hope that you enjoy.   Reference:  https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jvim.17004 To Cite this podcast as: Dom Barfield.

Joining Brian and myself in our studio (three times a charm) we are delighted to speak to Nicola Ho, Lecturer in Anaesthesia and Analgesia here at the RVC. Nicola, with her anaesthesia colleagues, sent out a questionnaire to those anaesthesia vets, nurses and technicians to find out how sleep and fatigue affected them. It is an interesting and pertinent topic when most of us have roles in which we need to work shift work and/or be on call and how that might affect us, and the patients we look after. It might not have answers though a space to start or continue the conversation to think about what you can do to make it better where you are for you and your team. We hope that you enjoy.

Joining Brian and myself in our studio (again, that is two in a row) we delighted to speak to Chris Scudder, Senior Lecturer in Internal Medicine and Co-Head of the Internal Medicine Team here at the RVC. There has been a couple of new drugs on the market one in the USA (bexagliflozin) and one in the UK (velagliflozin) both SGLT-2 inhibitors, oral hypoglycaemic agents to be used in newly diagnosed diabetic cats. We thought we’d chat to Chris about the information that is out there about these agents, how they can be used and what questions we have about their use. He recently spoke to our ECC team about euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis (eDKA) and I was intrigued. We hope that you enjoy.

Joining Brian and myself in our studio (yes that is right we are back) we are delighted to speak to Lynda Rutherford, Senior Lecturer in Soft Tissue Surgery and Head of Soft Tissue Surgery here at the RVC. I thought we’d continue the theme of the last podcast on feline urethral obstruction and speak to a surgeon about this subject, really what you can do if you can’t place a urethral catheter (is there a stone that you can’t hydro-pulse, unlikely) but maybe there is a urethral tear (traumatic or iatrogenic). Lynda kindly spoke to us about BOAS previously and it is always good to catch up.  Lynda gave a talk to the hospital about on this topic and thought it would be good to share with a wider audience, we hope that you enjoy.   Some references:  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21515222/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35363097/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17501659/  To Cite this podcast as: Dom Barfield.

Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are delighted to speak to Professor Edward Cooper, Section Head of Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care at The Ohio State University. I thought we’d continue the theme of the last podcast on feline urethral obstruction and speak to an international authority on the subject, who has been trying to answer some fundamental questions about this topic. He kindly returned my email and spoke to us, despite technical issues he was incredibly patient. Prof Cooper is clearly passionate about this topic and it was great to talk, we hope that you enjoy.

For the final podcast of the year, we have managed to have a few consecutive ones, hopefully a good omen for the New Year. We are delighted to have Professor Ken Smith, Head of the Department of Pathobiology and Population Sciences here at the RVC. He is Professor of companion animal pathology and could speak about a great many things from Tasmanian devil facial tumour disease to theatre. Though we thought we’d ask Ken more about what anatomical pathologists do for us, and also how we can help them in achieving that. We hope that you enjoy and Happy New Year.     Some articles of interest: https://www.rvc.ac.uk/Media/Default/Pathology%20and%20Diagnostic%20Laboratories/Documents/rvc-labs-services-pricelist-2020.pdf https://www.rcpath.org/discover-pathology/careers-in-pathology/careers-in-medicine/become-a-veterinary-pathologist.html https://www.msdvetmanual.com/clinical-pathology-and-procedures/collection-and-submission-of-laboratory-samples/collection-and-submission-of-laboratory-samples-from-animals http://apha.defra.gov.uk/External_OV_Instructions/Essential_Skills_for_Official_Veterinarians/Notifiable_Diseases/index.htm http://apha.defra.gov.uk/apha-scientific/services/lab/index.htm If you have any comments about this podcast, plese get in touch: email dbarfield@rvc.ac.uk; tweet @dombarfield.
