Dr Penny Thomas' career has taken her from working as a nurse in a specialist clinic while she was doing her vet degree, to a stint in mixed practise after graduating from the University of Sydney in 2011, and all the way to gaining registration as a Specialist in Veterinary Oncology in 2019. Penny is a member of the Veterinary Cancer Society and has also obtained her Memberships of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists in small animal medicine. She has a keen interest in haematological cancers and has published papers on multiple myeloma, anal sac cancer in cats and chemotherapy for T cell lymphoma in dogs, and is a regular participant in continuing education talks to general practitioners. On her journey to becoming a specialist Penny did a 2-year internship programme followed by a residency at SASH in Sydney. During her training, she spent time at Colorado State University, the University of Madison Wisconsin, The Chris O'Brien Lifehouse and the Animal Health Trust in the UK. And it's this part of her career - the internship years - where we start our conversation with Penny. She talks us through the decision-making process around whether doing an internship is for you, and gives us advice on what to look for in a good internship programme, and how to choose the RIGHT internship programme. As usual, the conversation strays into all sorts of interesting places, like masochistic work cultures where working crazy hours is worn like a badge of honour, helping your clients make end-of-life decisions for their animals, and we talk about the risk of having pre-conceived ideas around what is best for our patients without giving our clients ALL of the options and making decisions for them. And of course, we have to dig into what it's like being a veterinary oncologist - all the good and all the bad and all the stuff that you probably didn't know. Enjoy! If you like listening to Penny then you should definitely check out the oncology series that we're doing with her over on the medicine stream on The Vet Vault Clinical. We started with a 3 part series on mast ell tumours that has answered all of the questions I've had for decades about these often tricky cancers, including a run-down of all the newest therapies that are becoming available to us.

In this podcast, brought to you in association with Zoetis – the manufacturer of Equip EHV1,4 – we ask Richard Newton the questions you have always wanted to know about equine herpes virus (EHV) disease, the syndromes and the role of vaccination. Dr Newton was director of epidemiology and disease surveillance at the Animal Health Trust until its closure in July 2020. Since then, with ongoing support from the UK equine industry, he has continued to work closely with vets and equine industry stakeholders to ensure the health of the equine population. His work focuses on the diagnosis, control and prevention of infectious diseases.

We are listening to a conversation today between Shereene Williams and Amy Barstow.  Both Shereene and Amy work for the international animal welfare charity The Brooke, though they came to it from quite different avenues. Shereene qualified as a vet from Nottingham in 2011 and after a period of time in equine and general practice, went travelling and came back to join Brooke four years ago as an Animal Health Veterinary Advisor. Amy qualified in 2013 from the RVC and spent time volunteering before starting an equine internship at the Animal Health Trust and completing a PhD at the RVC. Amy spent some time teaching before joining Brooke in mid 2019 as a Global Animal Health Advisor. Here, they talk about the paths that led them to working there and what moving in a slightly different direction meant for their job satisfaction. Borborygmi is a collaboration between the London Vet Show, Vet Times, Vets:Stay Go Diversify and Smashing The Ceiling.

With pets, like their owners, now living to an older age, more of them will be impacted by chronic pain issues. Karen Walsh is an RCVS specialist in veterinary anaesthesia and European specialist in anaesthesia and analgesia, and in this Vet Times Podcast she discusses pain management issues in companion animals. – Karen graduated from the RVC in 1994. After enjoying work as a first opinion vet, she trained at the Animal Health Trust and the RVC as a veterinary anaesthetist. She gained her RCVS Diploma in Veterinary Anaesthesia in 1999 and her European diploma in the same discipline in 2007. After working many years as an anaesthetist in a variety of referral centres, Karen joined Eye Veterinary Clinic – a veterinary ophthalmology referral practice based in Herefordshire – as owner and director in 2017. Karen enjoys the variety of the work in a busy referral clinic, but has a particular interest in pain management. Her role is to support the nurses and vets in the field of anaesthesia, as well as running pain clinics and a consultancy for other veterinary clinics. Karen has written the Focus article in Veterinary Times (volume 50, issue 8 – 18 February issue) “Managing chronic pain in cats and dogs”, which is also online at https://www.vettimes.co.uk/article/managing-chronic-pain-in-cats-and-dogs/ Within the article, she discusses the importance and process of detection and treatment in both canine and feline patients. Much as in this podcast, she looks at a multimodality therapy approach, and stresses that a close working relationship with the pet owner is vitally important for success.

This is a recording of the talk given by Dr Sue Dyson: Head of Clinical Orthopedics at the Animal Health Trust at the Endurance GB Welfare Conference. The talk was illustrated with videos throughout - which cannot be seen on a podcast! However, most of the commentary is self explanatory and Dr Dyson gives really helpful guidance on how to spot lameness in your horse. So despite the lack of video content I decided the talk was still worth posting.

This is a recording of the talk given by Dr Sue Dyson: Head of Clinical Orthopedics at the Animal Health Trust at the Endurance GB Welfare Conference. It explains about a pilot study undertaken in order to evaluate the effect of rider weight on horses performance and welfare.

Over the last 18 months or so a number of dogs in the United Kingdom have been affected by a disorder which causes skin lesions initially followed within a few days by signs of acute kidney injury. Histopathology in these cases has shown cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy consistent with changes seen in a condition known as Alabama Rot, described in North America but not previously reported in the UK. In this podcast we discuss the experience with this disorder in the UK thus far and illustrate what is – or more accurately – what is not known about this disorder. The podcast features Dr Rosanne Jepson who is a Lecturer in Internal Medicine at the RVC and also a member of the Renal Replacement Therapy team at the QMHA. Rosanne has a special interest in nephrology in particular. A couple of links mentioned in the podcast include: Forestry Commission (England) website which has a list of the reported cases including their geographical distribution The Animal Health Trust questionnaire has now closed. Another source of further information about the disease is Anderson Moores. If you have any comments about this podcast, please get in touch (email sjasani@rvc.ac.uk; tweet @RoyalVetCollege using #saclinpod; or use the RVC's Facebook page).
