    Episode 37: ICYMI - A clinical recap of the AVMA Convention

    In case you missed the first AVMA convention after the COVID hiatus, Dr. Heller and his guests -- Amy Lloyd, VMD, Chaundra Schofield, VMD, and Kelly Dunham, DVM -- cherry pick some of the interesting tidbits they gathered from the lectures they attended in Philly.  Show notes:  Toxicity:  a. Don’t ever give cats hydrogen peroxide!!!! Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis/death. NO SAFE AT HOME REMEDY in cats. b. Use dexdomitor 7mcg/kg IM to cause 81% of cats to puke. Hydromorphone SQ can also work 75% of the time. Xylazine less likely. c. Cholestyramine is a great drug to use when trying to detox a patient who ingested a drug or poison that undergoes enterohepatic recirculation. It’s a bile acid sequestrant. d. ILE – Intravenous Lipid Emulsion – helps draw out fat soluble toxicants. (most commonly made of soy bean oil) – great for marijuana toxicosis. Hyperlipidemia:  a. Fenofibrate (micronized form) 4-10mg/kg BID – should resolve 80-100% of cases by 1 month. Will require lifelong therapy.  b. Low fat diet will treat only 25% of cases.  Dermatology update:  a. Chlorpactin – study showed powdered chlorine 0.4% solution kills MRSP topically in just 10 secs. Chronic UTI: Nitrofurantoin – given nightly for 4 months can help with deep seeded chronic infections. Feline arthritis:  a. Dr. Kristen Shaw gave some great resources for both vets and owners to  help to identify cats affected by arthritis during her lecture: i. zoetisus.com/oa-pain/feline-exam-videos.aspx (you can also link to dog OA resources from here) ii. Catoachecklist.com iii. Solensiavetteam.com Carrie Jurney gave a lecture on CPR for the veterinary soul – she broke down veterinary personality types, individual tendencies as well as common work place stressors. a.
