Show Notes This month, the Skin Flint team welcome RCVS & European Specialist Debbie Gow to the platform to explore Eosinophilic granuloma complex (EGC). (00:00) John Sue and Paul introduce the podcast.   Chapter 1 – What on Earth Is Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex?   (02:55) Sue welcomes Debbie Gow to the podcast and invites her to introduce herself. Debbie shares that she is a specialist in veterinary dermatology, working at a busy referral hospital outside Edinburgh. She describes her role in setting up the dermatology service, working with a resident and derm nurse, and her continued involvement in CPD and writing.   (04:05) Sue introduces the topic: eosinophilic granuloma complex (EGC) in cats. She jokes that it's sometimes referred to as “eosinophilic granuloma confusion” due to its complexity and terminology. She asks Debbie to break it down explaining that EGC is an umbrella term for three lesion types: Linear granulomas: Seen on the backs of legs, chin, or in the mouth. May or may not be itchy. Plaques: Often pruritic, ulcerated, and secondarily infected. Found on the ventrum or medial thighs. Indolent ulcers: Located on the upper lip, may appear crater-like.   (07:28) Sue asks about miliary dermatitis. Debbie considers it a separate reaction pattern, not part of EGC, though also common and allergy-associated. (08:15) John asks about age, breed, or sex predispositions. Debbie explains that while any cat can be affected, young adult cats (6 months to 5 years) are most likely to develop these lesions. Females may be slightly overrepresented, but evidence is limited. (09:27) John inquires about geographical prevalence. Debbie confirms EGC is seen globally wherever cats are present and exposed to allergy triggers.   Chapter 2 – Lookalikes, Lip Lesions & Licking Cats: Sorting the EGC Puzzle (10:21) Sue asks whether EGC lesions are pathognomonic or if there are important differentials. Debbie stresses the importance of not assuming a diagnosis without investigation whilst they can have a classical appearance: Cytology is key to identifying eosinophils. Differentials include squamous cell carcinoma (particularly for lip ulcers), mycobacteria, fungal infections, and viral diseases.   (12:37) Sue asks about a minimum diagnostic approach. Debbie advises: Cytology Wood's lamp and trichogram to rule out dermatophytosis Consideration of biopsies if in doubt   (14:08) Sue asks how to perform cytology. Debbie describes: Tape prep for dry lesions Cotton bud for moist/crusted areas Direct impression with a slide   (14:59) Sue asks how often infection is present. Debbie says: Infections are uncommon but more likely with plaques due to licking Cytology helps assess if antibiotics are needed Most cases are treated with anti-inflammatories rather than antibiotics   (16:52) John asks about allergic patterns in cats. Debbie describes four main reaction patterns: Miliary dermatitis Head and neck pruritus Ventral overgrooming Eosinophilic lesions She notes cats may display multiple patterns and also non-skin signs like conjunctivitis, otitis, or sneezing. (19:02) John asks if specific allergies present with specific signs. Debbie says it's inconsistent. While flea allergy is often associated with miliary dermatitis and food allergy with head/neck pruritus, patterns vary and aren't reliable for diagnosis.   Chapter 3 – Practical Approaches: From Kitchen Floor to Referral Door   (21:23) John asks what owners might notice or try at home. Debbie recommends: Observing behaviour Keeping a diary Ensuring flea control Considering recent diet or environmental changes   (23:30) Sue asks about food trial myths. Debbie emphasises: Over-the-counter “hypoallergenic” foods are not suitable for true food trials Prescription hydrolysed diets or novel proteins (e.g. ostrich, kangaroo, crocodile) are required Food trials should run for ~8 weeks She also recommends: Treat toppers to help encourage eating Short-term feeding is usually nutritionally safe Veterinary nutritionist input for longer-term plans   (28:43) Sue asks how to start a food trial if a cat is self-traumatising. Debbie uses concurrent systemic treatment (usually steroids) to control inflammation during the trial, tapering meds over 4–6 weeks if possible. (30:05) John asks for the first steps as a guide for primary care vets. Debbie recommends her first steps would be to rule out ectoparasites with full household flea control, possibly whilst beginning topical/systemic treatment as needed for comfort (32:10) Sue asks what to do when left with suspected environmental allergy. Debbie describes: Referral approach: Intradermal testing and immunotherapy if cost allows (40–75% success rate) Primary care approach: Use steroids at the lowest effective dose Importance of prioritising flea control and food trial first as they are often curative   (36:50) Sue and Debbie have a healthy debate on the relative benefits of allergy testing when immunotherapy is not being considered as an option.  (41:08) John wraps up the episode, thanking Debbie for simplifying a complex topic and helping listeners better understand eosinophilic granuloma complex in cats. John asks Paul and Sue another probing - if not questionable - question.

In this special episode of Veterinary Ramblings, we delve into a pressing issue currently affecting the veterinary industry. Our guest, Louise Buckley, takes centre stage as she shares her unique perspective on the treatment of dogs and their owners in relation to Brucella Canis.Louise, a former registered veterinary nurse, made the bold decision to remove herself from the Register of Veterinary Nurses held by the RCVS as a protest against the profession's approach to this matter. Driven by her unwavering commitment to animal welfare, Louise believes that she can make a more significant impact by voicing her concerns freely outside the boundaries of the professional code of conduct.During our enlightening conversation, Louise reveals her personal journey and the factors that led her to take this unprecedented step. Together, we explore the complex nuances surrounding Brucella Canis and the challenges faced by affected dogs and their owners. It's an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of this critical issue from someone who has been directly involved.We would like to emphasize the importance of compassion and open dialogue within the veterinary community. We acknowledge the divisive nature of this topic and encourage listeners to engage in constructive conversations rather than engage in heated arguments. While Louise's views are her own and may not necessarily reflect those of the podcast, we firmly believe in providing a fair and impartial platform for individuals to share their stories.Join us as we shed light on the Brucella Canis crisis and the passionate voices advocating for change. Together, let's foster a community that prioritizes the well-being of animals and works towards a better future in veterinary care.To follow Louise's story,  head over to  'Brucella Canis Former RVN resigned under protest' on Facebook.Please note: Louise has brought to our attention that a further explanation of positive predictive value (PPV) is required to clarify what this means for the dogs involved as many people will not realise what a PPV is or what it means for interpreting the test.PPV is in relation to dogs that have tested positive already, rather than dogs that have not yet been tested. It relates to the question that veterinary professionals need to ask once they have a dog with a positive result in front of them: "Given that this dog has tested positive, what is the probability that this is a true positive?" The answer is the PPV of the test in this situation and the value of the PPV interacts with both the specificity of the disease and with the prevalence of the disease among the population of interest.In the case of the Dogs Trust data presented in this presentation, the answer is that if the specificity is 99% (the APHA claim this figure for their parallel testing SAT and iELISA combined approach), and the prevalence of Brucella Canis is 1% (based on the Dogs Trust data and corrected to reflect excess cases above the expected rate of false positives), roughly 1 in 2 dogs will be a true positive, and 1 in 2 dogs will be a false positive. This is very different to a claim that one in two UNTESTED dogs will test positive and important that listeners appreciate this.Support the show

BrainWaves #144 RCVS vs. Primary Angiitis of the CNS

MedLink Neurology Podcast is delighted to feature selected episodes from BrainWaves, courtesy of James E Siegler MD, its originator and host. BrainWaves is an academic audio podcast whose mission is to educate medical providers through clinical cases and topical reviews in neurology, medicine, and the humanities, and episodes originally aired from 2016 to 2021. Originally released: July 25, 2019 A 50-year-old gentleman presents with severe headaches and speech disturbance. The MRI shows acute strokes and multifocal vascular irregularities. Is it reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome or primary angiitis of the central nervous system? Or is it something else entirely? RCVS and PACNS almost always pose a challenge--even to the most astute neurologist. But, because they are treated entirely differently and their clinical trajectories depend on these treatments, it is worth knowing how experts distinguish the two. This week on the BrainWaves podcast, Dr. Jesse Thon joins Jim Siegler in a discussion about the clinical and radiographic features of these two conditions and shares his experience in managing these patients. Produced by James E Siegler and Jesse Thon.
