Veterinary Clinical Podcasts

Joining Brian and myself in our studio we are delighted to have Dr Sarah Tayler, one of our fabulous lecturers and Dr Jodie Green, one of our amazing residents both in our Small Animal Internal Medicine team here at the RVC. We thought it was time to catch up about Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), it has been a couple of years and we are understanding a little more about the therapies that we have, trying to find out why some patients don’t respond to therapy (going from a nearly 100% mortality to 20% and we are asking questions about these 20% - how times change quickly). We have a little more experience now in using these drugs in the UK, built on information from our Australian colleagues, and now they are available in the USA. We hope that you enjoy.

Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are delighted to speak to Professor Edward Cooper, Section Head of Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care at The Ohio State University. I thought we’d continue the theme of the last podcast on feline urethral obstruction and speak to an international authority on the subject, who has been trying to answer some fundamental questions about this topic. He kindly returned my email and spoke to us, despite technical issues he was incredibly patient. Prof Cooper is clearly passionate about this topic and it was great to talk, we hope that you enjoy.

Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio (had to dust off the microphone, apologies for that) we are delighted to have Dr Dave Beeston, one of our final year residents in Emergency and Critical Care, here at the RVC. Dave has many interests and enthusiasm for a variety of ECC topics and is no stranger to this podcast regarding his own career journey, though we thought we'd talk to him about one of his research papers, regarding the occurrence and clinical management of urethral obstruction in male cats, a vetcompass study looking at cats in primary care in the UK. We hope that you enjoy.

The paper discussed: Beeston, D., Humm, K., Church, D.B., Brodbelt, D. and O'Neill, D.G., 2022. Occurrence and clinical management of urethral obstruction in male cats under primary veterinary care in the United Kingdom in 2016. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 36(2), pp.599-608. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35199370/

Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio we are delighted to have Dr Emily Hall, one of our lecturers in Veterinary Education here at the RVC. Emily has been working with the VetCompass group looking at Heat Related Illness in the UK and we thought we'd talk to her to about her research in this field and the questions that left unanswered. We hope that you enjoy.

Emily has her own blog on this topic too, where you can find links to the papers. http://heatstroke.dog/
