Podcasts about small animal medicine

In the April episode of Chattering with International Cat Care, host Yaiza Gómez-Mejías introduces two conversations that highlight just how complex feline diagnostics can be.First, Dr Llibertat Real Sampietro discusses her JFMS Open Reports case study on fatal disseminated toxoplasmosis in an otherwise healthy cat. She outlines the parasite's transmission, the clinical signs that may raise suspicion, and the value of serology and PCR in confirming infection.Then, Dr Kelly St Denis is joined by Dr Frane Banovic to discuss the first of two JFMS Clinical Spotlight articles on immune-mediated skin disease in cats. Together, they explore how to recognise key patterns of disease and the practical role of cytology in reaching a diagnosis.For further reading material please visit:Fatal disseminated Toxoplasma gondii infection in a cat from Madrid, SpainFrane Banovic : Feline Immune-mediated skin disorders (Part One)Frane Banovic : Feline Immune-mediated skin disorders (Part Two)For iCatCare Veterinary Members, full recordings of each episode of the podcast are available for you to listen to at portal.icatcare.org.

Send us a textDr. Jennifer Granick takes us deep into her groundbreaking research on antibiotic prescribing patterns in companion animal practice, revealing both challenges and opportunities for improvement.This conversation unveils the complex reality of veterinary prescribing. Perhaps most surprising is the finding that preventive antibiotic treatments typically last the same duration (10 days) as those targeting confirmed infections—a practice without scientific justification.What makes this discussion particularly valuable is Dr. Granick's practical approach to creating change. Rather than overwhelming practitioners with an insurmountable challenge, she advocates starting small: "Pick one common condition, check prescribing guidelines, and make one small change." This accessible strategy empowers veterinarians to contribute meaningfully to antimicrobial stewardship without complete practice overhauls. Meanwhile, pet owners gain crucial perspective on when antibiotics truly help versus when they might cause harm.As Dr. Granick's team explores innovative methods using electronic health records and AI to gather prescribing data while maintaining privacy, the future of veterinary antimicrobial stewardship looks promising. Her parting wisdom serves as both warning and hope: antibiotics are indeed life-saving, but only if they continue to work. Join us for this essential conversation at the intersection of companion animal medicine, public health, and our shared responsibility to preserve these precious medications for generations to come.Open access JAVMA article: https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.24.11.0716INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ® OR AJVR ® ?

You'll hear a lot of complaining and blaming of leaders for everything that's wrong with veterinary science. But the reality is that leading people is a very hard job, especially in a profession as complicated and nuanced as veterinary science. So this episode is for our leaders. We hope that it helps make your job of making our profession better just a little bit easier. David Liss is the Director of West Coast Operations for Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG), and in this episode he'll tell you about the three essential ingredients of great veterinary teams, and what this has to do with The Avengers and how they defeated Thanos! David also shares his strategies for giving hard-to-hear feedback, and tells us why goal setting is so important for building a great team and how to get the team excited for these goals. But we start with what might be the most important question: how do you, as a leader, stay motivated to keep motivating others?!

This episode of VETchat by The Webinar Vet is hosted by Suzanne Jarvis, editor-in-chief of Vet Record. It is part of Vet Record's series exploring the role of the microbiome in companion animal health and disease, sponsored by Protexin Veterinary. Joining Suzanne are Holger Volk, Head of the Department of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hanover, and Sára Sándor, a geneticist at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. Holger is particularly interested in neurological diseases such as epilepsy and how the gut-brain axis influences these, while Sára's work focuses on the genetics of cognition and animal behaviour and how this relates to the microbiome. In this episode, they discuss how the microbiome can affect cognition and behaviour in cats and dogs and how that relationship changes as an animal ages. They also consider the link between the gut microbiome and epilepsy and whether dietary interventions can benefit affected animals. Finally, they look at the likely direction of future research on the gut microbiome-brain axis and how this research may help improve the health and welfare of cats and dogs. Protexin Veterinary is dedicated to producing innovative, research-based products of the highest quality, providing a complete range of products for the veterinary market.

You know that conversation that you have with your client when you first diagnose congestive heart failure in their mitral valve disease dog? The one where you say: 'This will be the thing that kills your pet.' Well, that conversation is changing. Veterinary cardiologists  Dr Brad Gavaghan and Dr Fiona Meyers  introduce us to TEER (Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair), a minimally invasive procedure that can completely change the outcome for your mitral valve patients. In this episode they explain how it works, what the procedure involves, and what the risks are. They also guide us through selecting the right patients for this procedure so you don't miss the window of opportunity, and outline a new approach for screening and monitoring your newly diagnosed heart murmur patients now that the paradigm of care has shifted. We get into the practicalities of referring your patients, including setting expectations and cost of the procedure.  This episode is from our RACE approve clinical podcast series.

Joining Anthony for this episode of VETchat by The Webinar Vet is Ian Ramsey, Professor of Small Animal Medicine at the University of Glasgow. In this episode, Anthony and Ian discuss the Antibiotic Amnesty Campaign 2023. The aim of the campaign is to encourage clients to return any unused or out-of-date antibiotics. This will allow correct and safe disposal of antibiotic medications, which will avoid contamination of the environment and help prevent antimicrobial resistance due to inappropriate disposal. Ian shares why the campaign is needed, such as raising awareness about how the incorrect disposal of drugs is impacting our environment through river contamination and more. He talks through how to get involved: putting out a disposable of old pharmaceuticals bin and asking clients to bring in their out-of-date antibiotics.

I don't know about you, but one of my least favourite things to see on my consult list is a cat with a snotty nose. The idea that my patient's problem can be anything from a self-limiting mild disease to a serious and frustrating impossible-to-treat condition, and the decision-making around this, fills me with uncertainty and dread. This episode aims to replace that uncertainty with confidence, or at least a solid plan based on sound knowledge! Dr Kath Briscoe is a Specialist in Feline Medicine who has worked in academic and specialist referral centres and as a referral clinician in a GP setting, and her experience gives her a great insight into the frontline work that we deal with in a non-referral setting. Dr Megan Braunstein is a practice owner and practicing clinician with a Masters in Small Animal Medicine and Surgery and many years of experience. Her practice in Perth, Western Australia, submitted the most feline respiratory PCR panels of any practice on Australia last year, and she helps us unpack what they're learning about these tests. Between them, they'll refresh your foundational knowledge about infectious causes of feline upper respiratory disease and help with decision-making around diagnostics and treatment. We delve into what's new in the world of diagnostics with a review of feline respiratory disease PCR panels, including learning what it's great for, when to use it, and how to do it. This episode is supported by our friends at the SVS Pathology Network, which our Australian listeners will know better as Vetnostics, QML Vetnostics, ASAP Laboratory and Vetpath Laboratory Services. The SVS  Pathology Network provides a wide range of infectious disease PCR tests, including a comprehensive panel for feline respiratory pathogens. Their PCR panels are designed for detecting Australian pathogens, and they have recently introduced additional pathogens on several of their PCR panels. Our guests provide a detailed guide on how to take samples for PCR in this conversation, but your state-based SVS Pathology Network laboratory customer care team are always happy to answer any questions.

Who feels like Cushing's is a nice disease to diagnose and manage? Like, how often do you feel like your hyperadrenocorticism patients are really doing REALLY well? My guess is: not that often. This episode will change that. Dr Sue Foster is a registered specialist in Feline Medicine and Senior Lecturer in Small Animal Medicine at Murdoch University in Western Australia. She's also a medical consultant for Vetnostics and ASAP Laboratory, where a large part of her role is interpreting cortisol test results and supporting veterinarians in their clinical decision-making. In this conversation, Dr Sue challenges the belief that Cushing's is to some degree a 'lifestyle' disease that doesn't always need to be treated, we discuss the subtle ways that it can present, and of course we take a deep dive into those slippery cortisol tests, which should feel a lot less slippery after this episode. Dr Sue also presents a paradigm shift in how we think about treating these cases. Topics: 0:00 Understanding the cortisol lab tests.  4:40 ACTH stim vs LDDT - which is better?  10:28 The TRUE significance of ALP in diagnosing Cushing's. 13:30 Fasting triglycerides - your friend in Cushing's screening?  16:26 Deciding when to test for Cushings . 18:27 More on triglycerides and lipaemia  23:52 Why Cushing's cases don't all have to have pu/pd.  26:04 The many different faces of Cushing's - spotting the sneaky hyperA case . 29:42 Why we should consider treating Cushing's even if they aren't textbook cases.  31:41 Cushing's and anxiety. 35:40 The dog with the high ALP but no clinical signs of Cushing's. 39:44 Treatment trials for the ‘undiagnosable' Cushing's case. 45:13 Monitoring Cushing's therapy with ACTH stim testing.  52:30 The quick and easy ACTH stim test.  56:20 Treating Cushing's like a pro.  This episode is supported by the SVS Pathology Network.

This week on the show, Petrendologist Charlotte Reed and Michael Fleck, DVM talk with veterinarian, Katie Tolbert, DVM, Ph.D., DACVIM, as a Clinical Associate Professor in Small Animal & Comparative Gastroenterology at Texas A&M University (TAMU) about gut health and veterinarian, Joseph Bartges, DVM, Ph.D., DACVIM, DACVN a Professor of Medicine and Nutrition in the Department of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery at the University of Georgia, College of Veterinary Medicine, about reading pet food labels.

This episode from our clinical series is brought to you by Elanco, makers of the broadest range of parasiticides including Advocate, Milbemax, Seresto and Credelio Plus. "The question about the biochemistry is really interesting, because what your question now is, is 'what is it, and where is it?' And the problem that we have is that the liver enzymes aren't gonna tell us, because it's really hard to separate hepatic from post-hepatic on bloods. ALP is very insensitive in the cat and will go up with both hepatic and post-hepatic. ALT will go up with hepatic and post-hepatic. Bilirubin will be up. So what?!" We recorded this case-based interactive session about how to work up the jaundiced cat with one of the world's leading Small Animal Medicine specialists and teachers, ⁠Prof Jill Maddison⁠ at session our live event in 2022. Prof Jill Jill Maddison, BVSc, DipVetClinStud, PhD, SFHEA, MRCVS, is a professor of general practice, the director of professional development, and the BVetMed and CertAVP course director at Royal Veterinary College. She is also a coordinator for London Vet Show and is a consultant at a local veterinary practice and at Beaumont Sainsbury Animal Hospital in London. Dr Maddison is the senior editor of the second edition of Small Animal Clinical Pharmacology and the senior editor of Clinical Reasoning in Small Animal Practice. She has lectured worldwide on clinical problem-solving, small animal internal medicine, and clinical pharmacology.  In this session she helps us reason through a case of jaundice in a cat to create a deeper understanding, rather than a simple list of facts. She also shifts some long-standing beliefs around diagnostic testing in liver disease in both dogs and cats. Topic list: 5:07 Where to begin your workup. 6:05 Defining the problem and localising the problem: Pre-hepatic, hepatic or post-hepatic? 9:17 How much does dehydration actually affect PCV? 10:43 Bilirubin - how useful is it? "It's the most over-interpreted test I reckon. I have so many vets tell me, “Oh, the bilirubin is 16, it has to have a problem with its liver…” No, it probably just has inflammatory disease." 13:14 Dd's for hepatic disease in cats. 14:20 Dd's for post-hepatic causes of jaundice. 16:04 Biochem in jaundice: ALP, ALT, GGT. "The problem that we have is that the liver enzymes aren't going to tell us." 19:51 Why bile acids are useless in the diagnosis of liver disease. "The bile acids don't tell you anything more than you already know. There is no relationship between the level of bile acids and the prognosis or reversibility of the lesion." 24:25 Can't I just trial-treat? 26:16 Ultrasound. 28:27 Signalment: how useful is it? 29:36 Cholesterol and liver disease. 30:52 Pancreatic lipase and pancreatitis in cats. "What we found was that we had 24% false negatives. So we had a quarter of our cats who had what seemed to be pancreatitis that did not have an increased Pli." 36:54 Hepatic lipidosis.

There are about 1 million diabetic dogs and cats in the US alone. Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires intense, life long, monitoring and treatment. Many owners cannot afford the emotional, financial and time commitment. As a result, many dogs and cats with diabetes are euthanized even though the disease is treatable. Chen Gilor DVM, PhD discusses how UF veterinary researchers have led a dramatic paradigm shift in how dogs are treated and monitored for diabetes by focusing on on early detection and prevention of the disease and by simplifying insulin therapy.He shares what tools and concepts are being adopted from human medicine and that owners are no longer bound by the old paradigm of “insulin has to be administered at exactly the same time every day and only after the dog has eaten a full meal”. Instead, with new insulin formulations, and with judicious use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), they can give insulin any time and regardless if their dog eats.

Her research involves projects investigating mechanisms involved in canine inflammatory bowel disease, the pancreas and establishing the impact in the gut microbiome has on health and disease in dogs. Topics discussed include: What made Dr Mansfield want to become a veterinarian and what sparked her interest in gastroenterology. Projects Caroline has been involved in throughout her career. Dr Mansfield's current canine microbiome and chronic enteropathy study. Effects of diet on diet-responsive enteropathies. Dr Caroline talks about her project on ‘Modifying the gut-brain axis to improve outcomes in shelter animals'. Probiotic benefits in decreasing stress in dogs. Common feline digestive disorders Dr Mansfield gets presented with and how she manages them. When are probiotics indicated in feline digestive disorders? When to reach for prebiotics or symbiotics?

“I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, most of which never happened.” Mark Twain In episode 49 we dissected one of the biggest fears that many vets have: the fear of an official board complaint, from the perspective of a practitioner facing a complaint against them. In this episode, we look at the same issue from the side of the official body that deals with complaints. I'm a firm believer that the more we know about the things that we fear, the less scary they become, so let's face this one together Drs. Kate Clarke and Magdoline Awad are vets with experience serving on vet boards. They join us to answer all of our questions about board complaints - like how likely is it happen in the average career, what the most common complaints are, what the process looks like if you do have one lodged against you, as well as practical tips for avoiding them in the first place. Kate and Mags also walk us through all the possible outcomes, in other words - what's the worst that can happen, but then - what is the much more LIKELY to happen. Kate has over 20 years experience as a GP vet in regional Australia and the UK, with membership of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in Small Animal Medicine and a Master's degree in Business Administration. In addition to her role on Victoria's Vet Board, she's also the founding director of Engaged Solutions, a veterinary HR consultancy, and serves on the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council's Sustainable Practice Committee. She's an AVA graduate mentor and a Policy Council Advisor for the AVA's Veterinary Business Group, tasked with developing the AVA Great Workplaces Policy, and is also leading the development of a new not-for-profit called Sustainable Veterinary Careers. Somewhere in between all of that Kate also has a veterinarian husband and two teenage kids. Have your say at https://sustainableveterinarycareers.org by completing the survey. Mags is Chief Veterinary Officer at Greencross. (https://www.greencrossvets.com.au/) She did her memberships in animal welfare and has a degree in Veterinary Professional Practice Management. She was appointed to the Veterinary Practitioners Board of NSW in 2019, and is a member of the UNSW Animal Care and Ethics Committee and is the NSW representative for the AVA Welfare and Ethics special interest group. Between 2008-2015 Mags was Chief Veterinarian at RSPCA NSW, after starting with the organisation in 1996. She's also been involved in the development and management of community programs in remote regional areas of NSW, working with local veterinarians and government to improve the welfare of pets in those communities.

Canine obesity is a growing epidemic and it is just as dangerous as obesity in humans. If a human is overweight, they can make changes to their lifestyle to quickly shed a few pounds. Unfortunately, it is up to us to manage the weight of our pets. That means if your dog is overweight or obese, you're the only one that can help him. The longer you wait, the more severe the health effects will be. Obesity could ultimately take years off your dog's life. In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Prof. Alex German about this topic. He is a Professor of Small Animal Medicine at the University of Liverpool.

The focus of this work was the investigation of the following questions in current research: How can one define an objectively verifiable procedure for the veterinarian during the diagnostic process and how can this procedure be represented at best? Is it possible to validate this procedure in a general way? Are the answers to these previous questions appropriate to lead to more effective and efficient diagnoses in veterinary medicine? Symptoms which are relevant for the practical work in the small animal medicine branches dermatology, cardiology and neurology, were divided into sub-groups(rule outs) following a fixed concept which is based on clearly defined criteria. By utilizing this approach, a procedure for the veterinarian is proposed. This systematic framework of the necessary knowledge for finding a diagnosis was visualized by the author in the form of decision trees which were saved on power point slides. Subsequently, these decision trees were validated qualitatively by interviews and discussions with professors and senior lecturers of the Clinic for Small Animal Medicine of the LMU Munich. In a next step, this diagnostic support tool was evaluated by the author with students utilizing four tests and a questionnaire. The evaluation of these tests showed that the students who were allowed to use the decision trees, reached higher scores and needed less time to solve the questions. These results support the thesis that the decision trees are appropriate to increase the efficiency and effectiveness and, in consequence, are a positive contribution to solving clinical cases. Compared to other diagnostic support tools (some of these have only a limited practicability as support tools), the proposed decision trees can convey detailed knowledge in categorized, structured and visualized form to veterinarians and students of veterinary medicine, so that this tool represents a contribution to finding a diagnosis in a more structured and objective way. In consequence, diagnostic decisions will be safer, which is especially important for inexperienced veterinarians and veterinary students. The generated decision trees can be utilized as a basis for further investigations of symptoms and should stimulate scientific discussions in the research field "diagnosis". In this context, the creation of a database is conceivable, which could present the contents and more detailed information in a multimedia-based way.

In this work, the potential causes of clinically relevant problems in internal medicine and clinical pathology are divided into groups and subgroups, using the problem-oriented approach. The division into subgroups is performed until finally a list of examples for differential diagnoses is presented. In this approach “problems” are defined as symptomes and changes of normal findings in animal history, physical examination and clinical pathology parameters. For this reason all groups, subgroups and differential diagnoses are defined as “rule outs”. The criterias for classification are chosen in a way that they are well-distinguishable and didactically plausible in their pathophysiological background. The intention of these subdivisions is to get a good structure for problems with several causes. In this work it is shown that this approach leads to a comprehensible classification. In the end, just a few rule outs with a small amount of diseases is left, which can be directly verified or falsified. The rule-outs, at first defined by the author, were discussed and modified in several discussion groups, till in the end the final result was supported by all participants. Senior lecturers of the Clinic for Small Animal Medicine, Munich, took part in these discussion groups. Therefore the rule outs were found consensus-based, to contribute to a standardization of the diagnosis process in internal medicine in theory and application. With this method both, veterinarians and students with lack of experience, can solve complicated cases completely. Additionally the procedure of finding a diagnosis becomes comprehensive and understandable. Finally, the rule outs can also be regarded as a general tool to understand problems in the field of pathophysiology.

To make sure we get our point across, we have included supporting diagrams and all of Dr Syme's recommendations as visual materials which can be viewed on screen or on your video iPod. Enjoy!
