Joining Brian and myself in our studio (three times a charm) we are delighted to speak to Nicola Ho, Lecturer in Anaesthesia and Analgesia here at the RVC. Nicola, with her anaesthesia colleagues, sent out a questionnaire to those anaesthesia vets, nurses and technicians to find out how sleep and fatigue affected them. It is an interesting and pertinent topic when most of us have roles in which we need to work shift work and/or be on call and how that might affect us, and the patients we look after. It might not have answers though a space to start or continue the conversation to think about w ..read more

Joining Brian and myself in our studio (again, that is two in a row) we delighted to speak to Chris Scudder, Senior Lecturer in Internal Medicine and Co-Head of the Internal Medicine Team here at the RVC. There has been a couple of new drugs on the market one in the USA (bexagliflozin) and one in the UK (velagliflozin) both SGLT-2 inhibitors, oral hypoglycaemic agents to be used in newly diagnosed diabetic cats. We thought we’d chat to Chris about the information that is out there about these agents, how they can be used and what questions we have about their use. He recently spoke to our ECC ..read more

Joining Brian and myself in our studio (yes that is right we are back) we are delighted to speak to Lynda Rutherford, Senior Lecturer in Soft Tissue Surgery and Head of Soft Tissue Surgery here at the RVC. I thought we’d continue the theme of the last podcast on feline urethral obstruction and speak to a surgeon about this subject, really what you can do if you can’t place a urethral catheter (is there a stone that you can’t hydro-pulse, unlikely) but maybe there is a urethral tear (traumatic or iatrogenic). Lynda kindly spoke to us about BOAS previously and it is always good to catch up. &nbs ..read more

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 ..read more

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 ..read more

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/
