In this week's episode, we are absolutely delighted to be joined by the brilliant Dr. Sam Taylor, one of the leading voices in feline medicine today.   From her early days at the Royal Veterinary College, through her European Diploma in Veterinary Internal Medicine, to becoming an RCVS Recognized Specialist in Feline Medicine, Sam has been at the forefront of advancing veterinary care for cats. As the International Cat Care Veterinary Specialist Lead, she has played a pivotal role in shaping clinical guidelines that have transformed how we diagnose and manage feline diseases.   In this conversation, Sam reflects on some of the game-changing moments in feline medicine, including the revolutionary treatment of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a breakthrough that has changed the landscape of feline healthcare.   Beyond her contributions to research and education, Sam shares her personal experiences balancing clinical practice, lecturing, and writing, as well as the challenges and rewards of working in both primary care and specialist practice. Her passion for feline medicine and commitment to improving patient outcomes are truly inspiring.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:   ISFM International Guidelines on Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD): https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1098612X241309176 Cat Carer Guide on Environmental Needs and MEMO: https://icatcare.org/resources/cat-carer-guide-urinary-tract-diseases.pdf Learn more about vtx and our work in veterinary education: https://www.vtx-cpd.com

This episode is just me (Jessica Perry Hekman, DVM, PhD) - talking about a new genetic test for the risk of mitral valve disease in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Cavs are at incredibly high risk of this disease and get it at much younger ages than other breeds. What does this new test mean in terms of predicting if your Cav is at risk, and whether a particular Cav should be bred? I talk about several papers in this episode.

Laura tells us about how she accidentally ventured into internal medicine and how it has become her niche. She shares her different responsibilities and how they contribute to providing quality care for pets.We pose a difficult question to Laura: what does the quality of life mean and how does it differ between clients and their pets? Laura provides insightful answers and highlights the need for both clients and practitioners to improve their perception of veterinary nursing.In addition, Laura takes on our 60-second CPD challenge and delivers a fantastic run-down of the six things you need to do during nurse clinics for chronic disease patients. She also asks us to reflect on the circumstances that could be behind difficult behaviour between colleagues and clients.If you're interested in learning more about Laura and her work, head over to her website https://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/. Support the show

More than 20 modules make up the lecture programme for BSAVA Congress 2023, which takes place in Manchester from 23-25 March. Ahead of the event, congress committee chairperson Paul Higgs joins the Vet Times Podcast to discuss how the sessions have evolved from last year's initial event in Manchester and shares his anticipation for the event – including picking out some highlights from the lecture programme. Mr Higgs also discusses the “Day in the Life of” stream, which returns following its debut at last year's congress. This year, it features two live case work-ups, which will bring an element of jeopardy to the drama-based sessions – and it's Mr Higgs who will be putting his reputation on the line as he works up each case in front of a live audience. _____________________________________

This one's a bit personal for Bill. Trigger warnings: Talk of cancer and pet death. In May of 2021, a mass was found on Bill's dog Chester's spleen. A trip to the emergency vet and a splenectomy later (plus a couple days at the hospital), Chester was back home with a shaved belly and a badass scar from the surgery. Luckily the mass was benign and Chester's still as ornery as ever. But what Bill realized is that he had no idea what spleens do, why they're so prone to masses and a particularly dangerous form of cancer known as a hemangiosarcoma and why the prognosis for a cancerous splenic mass is rarely good. On the pod with Bill is Dr. Mark Byrum, DVM, DACVIM. He's a veterinary medical oncologist at MedVet Chicago and a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine as a medical oncologist. He talks to Bill all about hemangiosarcomas and explains just what spleens do and why it's possible for dogs to easily survive without them. He also talks more generally about cancer in dogs and cats. Big Wags Chicago is online at www.bigwagschicago.com.

Les anglophones parlent d'EGUS (Equine gastric ulceration syndrome), les vétérinaires parlent de syndrome d'ulcération gastrique des équidés et les propriétaires d'ulcères, tout simplement. Dans tous les cas, les chevaux atteints sont très nombreux (presque 100% des pur sangs à l'entraînement en souffrent) et beaucoup de cavaliers y ont donc été confrontés. Les ulcères, c'est autant un sujet purement "médical" que "comportemental". Il était temps que l'on y consacre un épisode de Véthologie. Bibliographie : Sykes, B. W., et al.

Listen in to learn how the OncoK9 blood test by PetDx uses next-generation sequencing to determine if your apparently healthy dog has cancer DNA floating around in her body. While this test won't give you a diagnosis, it can be used as a screening test to find cancer before it causes symptoms of illness, letting you get a head start on treatment for your dog. This simple blood draw is one of the newest tools for dog lovers to use to battle canine cancer.

While working in an oncology specialty center, Dr. Rachel Venable kept feeling like there were patients she couldn't reach – or rather, that couldn't get to her. So she decided to start her own business, doing oncology consults online. Telemedicine laws can vary state to state, but most states allow teleconsulting. Your vet probably already uses one type of teleconsulting: sending x-rays out to a radiologist to review. The radiologist never examines the pet in person, but communicates with the veterinarian and works with them as a team. Dr. Venable uses this model for her consulting, but takes it one step further by doing a video call where she reviews the case with both the veterinarian and the owner.

Trisha Dowling is a veterinarian and professor of veterinary clinical pharmacology at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. She graduated from Texas A&M in 1987 followed by a large animal rotating internship at North Carolina State. This was followed by 2 years of practice in Ohio and North Carolina, the latter a great source of humorous teaching stories. After a large animal medicine residency and Master's at Auburn University, she became a board certified by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and the American College of Veterinary Clinical Pharmacology. In 1993, she came running away to Saskatoon for a short time, but met and married a local guy so has been here ever since. Given US politics, she's glad that she did.

Crash, boom, bang... all noises that may send your dog running for cover under your bed. A dog's hearing is quite different from ours. They can hear sounds 4 times farther away than we can, hear higher pitches sounds that are undetectable to the human ear and their extremely moveable ears can help them hone in on the origin of the auditory reverberations. We need to move our entire head to better echo locate. Loud noises such as thunder and fireworks can be very scary for your canine companion. A frightened dog can cause itself great bodily harm trying to escape the sonic terrors and great angst for their owners. Trying to make your dog less noise phobic has typically involved sound desensitization or heavily sedating your dog. Now… there is a breakthrough medication that won't make the sound any less obnoxious but can allow your dog to better deal with the auditory insult. Dr. Sharon Campbell is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and one of the technical veterinarians for Zoetis Animal Health. We will be discussing noise aversion and a new medication available to treat it. Questions or comments? Email Dr. Cruz at: thepetdoctor@petliferadio.com.
