Pododermatitis Paw-dcast Part 2 – A Surgeon's Perspective (00:00) Intro - this month, Sue, John and Paul invite EBVS Specialist in Small Animal Surgery, Jakub Kaczmarek onto the platform to discuss the other side of pododermatitis - from the surgeon's perspective. Chapter 1 – Feet First - A Surgeon's Take on Pododermatitis (03:12) John introduces Jakub, highlighting Ursula's recommendation following their fruitful discussion on pododermatitis. He invites Jakub to share his background. Jakub expresses gratitude for the invitation and mentions Ursula as a mentor during his residency in Germany. He discusses their collaboration on pododermatitis, combining dermatology and surgery. Jakub shares his educational journey from Poland, a semester in Vienna, and his internship in Germany, which focused on surgery and dermatology. He currently works in Cologne. (04:55) John acknowledges Jakub's expertise in dermatology and asks how a surgeon fits into managing pododermatitis in dogs. Jakub emphasises teamwork between dermatologists and orthopaedic specialists, noting the complexity of pododermatitis. He explains that it can arise from both skin-related and conformational issues, necessitating collaboration for optimal care. (06:16) John enquires about the types of lesions found on dogs' feet. Jakub explains that abnormal weight distribution from orthopaedic conditions, like developmental elbow disease, can cause pressure on specific paw digits, leading to abrasions, inflammation, and even local pyoderma. He describes hypertrophy on the paw's plantar surface, potentially forming "pseudoballs." Chronic irritation can result in excessive licking, leading to severe inflammation, which requires both orthopaedic and dermatologic management.   Chapter 2 - Toes: Lesions and Lameness (09:25) Sue comments on the dog's paw pad structure, noting that abnormal weight-bearing can lead to skin issues. She asks if this is the pathomechanism for pododermatitis. Jakub agrees and adds that while there are many potential causes, mechanical issues may also contribute. He supports Sue's idea that malalignment and weight distribution lead to abnormal weight-bearing and related problems. Sue clarifies that some cases of pododermatitis have dermatological causes, while others stem from orthopaedic issues. Jakub agrees but points out that breeds like Labrador Retrievers and Bulldogs often have both conditions, complicating the determination of the primary issue. Sue P recalls a study revealing Bulldogs walk on their toes, which could contribute to multiple health issues. She emphasises the need for a multidisciplinary approach. Jakub references a study by Tim Nuttall involving over 160 dogs, noting that factors like body condition and hair type are significant in causing pododermatitis and interdigital cysts. Sue P agrees, linking higher body condition scores to more weight on the front limbs, thus making pododermatitis more common there. Jakub clarifies that while pododermatitis is typically seen more in front limbs, conditions like hip dysplasia can also affect hind limbs. He explains that primary dermatological issues may affect both front limbs, while orthopaedic problems often involve a single limb. Sue P sums up that multiple limb involvement likely relates to skin conditions, while single limb issues could indicate orthopaedic problems. Jakub agrees, adding that orthopaedic conditions like OCD or FCP typically show changes in the affected limb. (14:53) John revisits Jakub's "top-down or bottom-up" approach, asking how it relates to recognising orthopaedic diseases as triggers for pododermatitis. Jakub explains that common orthopaedic triggers include developmental elbow diseases like OCD and FCP, as well as shoulder OCD, which causes dogs to alter their walking to reduce pain. He notes that patellar luxation often results from underlying angular limb deformities that shift the weight-bearing axis, exacerbating dermatological issues.   Chapter 3 - Surgical Solutions: From Lasers to Collaboration for Better Outcomes (17:30) Sue asks Jakub to elaborate on triggers, noting that predisposed breeds and age of onset play a role, citing Labradors as an example. Jakub confirms that Labrador Retrievers exhibit these issues, with signs of orthopaedic problems appearing as early as five to six months, and severe cases at four months. He mentions common large breeds prone to orthopaedic problems. (18:59) Sue asks about the timing of pododermatitis relative to orthopaedic diseases, questioning if lameness in young dogs could precede pododermatitis. Jakub notes that pododermatitis and orthopaedic diseases usually present in older dogs, around two years of age. He hasn't observed significant changes in younger dogs, suggesting it takes time for pododermatitis to develop due to malalignment and weight redistribution. Sue P agrees, noting that in her practice, older dogs often present with pododermatitis alongside a history of earlier orthopaedic problems. She suggests a compensatory mechanism may lead to conditions like interdigital cysts. Jakub agrees, highlighting that dermatological conditions like pododermatitis are painful due to inflammation, which can lead to chronic discomfort. He asks Sue if Labrador owners ever report lameness when presenting dermatological issues. Sue P mentions that owners usually don't report pain, necessitating probing for details. She reflects on referring a three-year-old Labrador with recurrent interdigital lesions to an orthopaedic surgeon to assess joints. If swelling or crepitus is present, she recommends CT scans and emphasises early intervention. Jakub recalls Sue's 2012 publication linking interdigital lesions with elbow issues. He has observed that treating elbow conditions often leads to improvement in lesions, suggesting that combining orthopaedic corrections with topical treatments could yield better outcomes. (25:18) John asks Jakub to elaborate on surgical approaches for pododermatitis, including techniques like webectomy and podoplasty. Jakub notes he has not performed podoplasty but has seen it used successfully in severe cases. He prefers laser ablation, as it is quicker and effective when collaborating with a dermatologist who has tried conservative treatments. He recounts streamlining procedures significantly, reducing time from 1.5 hours to 30-35 minutes. Sue adds context, explaining webectomy and podoplasty. She contrasts her cold steel surgery experience with the benefits of laser surgery. Jakub explains that CO2 lasers are more precise and cause less collateral damage than diode lasers. He emphasises the advantages of laser treatment in sealing vessels, which minimises bleeding and post-op pain. He mentions a colleague who leaves wounds open post-surgery, but he prefers using honey treatments for healing. (34:06) John concludes by praising the collaboration between Jakub and dermatologists like Ursula, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex cases like pododermatitis. Outro (37:07) Final thoughts John puts another bizarre question to Sue and Paul.

Making a diagnosis can be tricky enough, and particularly so with lameness. But is there another way of doing things? Ross Allan thinks so, and tells us more in this Vet Times podcast. _______________________ Ross Allan graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2001, and gained a BSAVA Certificate in Small Animal Surgery in 2014 and RCVS advanced practitioner status in 2015.

GUEST:  Dr. Leslie Appel is the founder and executive director of Shelter Outreach Services (SOS). She is also a courtesy lecturer at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. Before these roles, Dr. Appel was director of veterinary outreach at the ASPCA. She was also a full-time faculty member at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, where she was an instructor in Small Animal Surgery. And Dr. Appel was the 2013 recipient of the AVMA Animal Welfare Award.    MAIN QUESTION: How can animal organizations provide services to rural communities, which often get overlooked?   TAKEAWAYS: Dr. Appel's organization Shelter Outreach Services, or SOS, is specifically designed to meet the needs of rural communities.  Before starting a program, assess what's going on in your community and surrounding counties to understand what services are needed and who might be able to help. Also, get advice from a veterinarian early on in your planning about what's needed to provide veterinary outreach services. SOS is set up like the hub of a wheel with its partners as the spokes. Each is essential to success. SOS provides the services and seeks grant funding for big ticket items like anesthesia machines, while its partners who host SOS's MASH-style clinics in their communities do their own fundraising and grant writing to pay for those services. If you want to provide high quality, high volume spay/neuter services, veterinarians and veterinary technicians need training because it is generally not taught in school.  This is best done by having them observe and work alongside an existing team initially. High quality, high volume spay/neuter services are not about speed; it's about creating an efficient flow.   LINKS: Shelter Outreach Services The Association of Shelter Veterinarians' guidelines for spay-neuter programs  Leadership recommendation: "How to Read Non-Profit Financial Statements"

Do you think of arthritis as a disease in old dogs? Would you be shocked if I told you that it actually starts in young dogs? Well, you’re not the only one.    Today’s special guest, Dr. Duncan Lascelles, is going to teach us how to recognize the signs of osteoarthritis in young dogs, so that we can give them the best possible care and quality of life. He’s going to talk all about pain in dogs, both chronic pain from arthritis and also cancer pain. I hope you’re ready to learn something new!    Dr. Lascelles is a professor in Small Animal Surgery and Pain Management at NC State. He has a Ph.D. in pain. He did his surgical residency at Cambridge and a surgical oncology fellowship at Colorado State University. He is the only person I know that's board certified not just by the American College of Visionary Surgeons, but also by the Royal Veterinary College and the European College.   If you, like me, are invested in reducing pain in dogs and improving their quality of life, be sure to catch this episode!   Show notes available at www.caninecanceracademy.com/podcast-ep-8 Don’t forget to say hello on Instagram @thecaninecaneracademy and on Facebook Canine Cancer Academy 

Vets see osteoarthritis patients daily, and a range of management options are available. Ross Allan, RCVS advanced practitioner in small animal surgery, draws together important management considerations in this Vet Times Podcast. – Ross Allan graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2001 and gained a BSAVA Certificate in Small Animal Surgery in 2014 and RCVS advanced practitioner status in 2015. He is a partner in The Pets’n’Vets Family in Glasgow and leads Roundhouse Referrals’ surgical team, widening access to advanced veterinary surgery in western Scotland through innovative services. Working within the Roundhouse Veterinary Hospital, Ross is familiar with the challenges and reward in effectively supporting owners and treating pets with OA. He has cowritten – with specialist clinician in orthopaedics Stuart Carmichael – an article in the 14 April 2020 issue of Vet Times (Volume 50, Issue 16, Pages 6-9). It will appear online soon, and is entitled “Management of OA part 1 – time for a change in direction?”

Since  starting the podcast we've had some amazing feedback from some of our listeners. I love hearing about how other  people are inspired by our guests, but one question that pops up time and  time again is some variation of: “I don't feel like I can focus on my career, because I have young kids.” And I totally agree - I often feel torn  apart in the tug of war between career and parenting. So  here at the Vet Vault we've made it one  of our missions to speak to vets who are finding ways to create fulfilling  careers, while still being engaged parents and husbands or wives, and to  ask them how the hell they do it. When we started asking around for some guest ideas of people who seem to have solved this problem, our guest for today was one the first names that popped up: Dr Abbie Elise Tipler BVSc, MANZCVS (Surgery) is a small animal surgeon. She graduated from Massey University in 2005 and soon after graduation discovered her passion for small animal surgery. This took her to London where she worked for several years in a combined general practice/orthopedic referral practice. In 2011 she moved to Sydney and sat her ANZCVS Memberships in Small Animal Surgery and in 2016 was elected as head examiner for Memberships in Small Animal Surgery for the ANZCVS.  In 2017 she founded the Small Animal Surgery Discussion Page for world-wide surgery discussion which has over 6500 Veterinary Members. In 2018 she was the recipient of the ANZCVS travel grant for services to the Surgery Chapter. She has been actively involved in charities such as Pets in the Park, Elephants Rhinos People, Greyhound Rescue and Cantoo. Currently, she is a second year surgical resident at Veterinary Specialist Services. She lives in Saint Lucia with her husband and two young children. Join us as we find out from Abbie how she managed to create a rewarding career despite the commitments of raising a young family. She tells us about her journey into residency in what is a very competitive environment, how to not limit yourself based on other's expectations of you, how to go from a nervous surgeon to a total surgical boss, and much much more.

In this VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we interview Dr. Galina Hayes, PhD, DVM, DACVECC, DACVS (Hello, letters!), Assistant Professor in Small Animal Surgery at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. In her recent retrospective study performed at the Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, she evaluated the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and death following hydroxyethyl starch (HES 10% 250/0.5/5:1) administration in dogs (2007-2010). In this retrospective study, the authors evaluated 180 dogs receiving HES compared to 242 random dogs receiving just IV fluids. This is the first veterinary paper evaluating the risk of AKI with HES administration; however, be aware of the limitations of the study (e.g., retrospective, higher cumulative crystalloid dosing differences, higher transfusion rates, etc.). That said, before you reach for a bag of colloids, listen to this VETgirl podcast!

Tomcats with urethral obstruction are sadly a common small animal emergency population; this problem is one of the 'classics' no doubt, and with the potential to be fatal. Survival rates in the short-term can be extremely high with the right approach to stabilisation and management, medium-to-long term the prognosis can be more guarded. In a slightly roundtable fashion I am joined to discuss this topic by Dr Rosanne Jepson, Lecturer in Small Animal Internal Medicine; by Dominic Barfield, Lecturer in Emergency and Critical Care; and in absentia by Nicola Kulendra, Lecturer in Small Animal Surgery. And of course I can't help but chip in as well! In this two-part podcast series we discuss a whole host of questions surrounding this disorder including what FLUTD is, approach to the blocked cat, and recommendations following successful intervention.

Limb fractures are a common injury following blunt trauma in dogs and cats and a rational approach to the management of these patients is crucial. In this episode I discuss this problem with Elvin Kulendra who is a Lecturer in Small Animal Surgery at the QMHA and spends most of his time nowadays doing orthopaedics. Some of the things we talk about include how easy it is to detect a fracture, when is the best time to manipulate a fracture, open versus closed fractures, tips on radiography and the rational use of antimicrobials. Find out more about CPD from the RVC featuring Elvin here If you have any comments or suggestions, please get in touch (email sjasani@rvc.ac.uk; tweet @RoyalVetCollege using #saclinpod; or use the RVC's Facebook page).
