The episode discusses the following points: [*International Society of Feline Medicine] Evidence base behind the Guidelines Secondary versus primary hypertension Target organ damage Monitoring and Underdiagnosis Which cats to monitor blood pressure in Importance of ensuring blood pressure is measured as accurately as possible with a reproducible technique White coat hypertension Defining normal blood pressure Criteria for therapeutic intervention and appropriate therapeutic targets What treatment to use Emergency treatment  The episode is based on: ISFM Consensus Guidelines on the Diagnosis and Management of Hypertension in Cats.

    Dog and Cat Amputees: 'Tripods'

    On this episode of the podcast I am joined by Rene Agredano and Jim Nelson of Tripawds, “the world's largest support community for animal amputees”, to discuss how we as veterinary staff can be better prepared to help clients with dogs and cats that are either facing or have had a limb amputation. After some background discussion of the Tripawds resource, we discuss: Ethical and moral considerations carers may have around amputation Steps carers can take to prepare for their amputee dog or cat returning home for the first time Client concerns about when their pet will be normal again, pain management, and the surgical incision The following links were mentioned in the episode: Tripawds - Help For Three Legged Dogs And Cats The Tripawds charitable foundation Tripawds on YouTube Tripawds Downloads The PBS Show that Rene mentions, “Why we love dogs and cats” The Tripawds blog by an ECC vet: Hank the Tank (backstory for Hank the Tank)

  8. A Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Papers Episode

    23/06/2016

    A Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Papers Episode

    Anaemia in critically ill cats; severe anaemia in blocked tomcats; spinal shock in dogs; haemorrhagic GI disease in veterinary ICUs. In this episode of the podcast I discuss a few papers from the latest issue of the Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (JVECC) that especially caught my eye, in particular as they relate to primary care practice and not just referral centres. The four papers in question are: Balakrishnan A, Drobatz KJ, Reineke EL. Development of anemia, phlebotomy practices, and blood transfusion requirements in 45 critically ill cats (2009–2011). J Vet Emerg Crit Care 2016. 26(3):406-411. Beer KS, Drobatz KJ. Severe anemia in cats with urethral obstruction: 17 cases (2002–2011). J Vet Emerg Crit Care 2016. 26(3):393-397. Full AM, Barnes Heller HL, Mercier M. Prevalence, clinical presentation, prognosis, and outcome of 17 dogs with spinal shock and acute thoracolumbar spinal cord disease. J Vet Emerg Crit Care 2016. 26(3): 412–418. Swann JW, Maunder CL, Roberts E, et al. Prevalence and risk factors for development of hemorrhagic gastro-intestinal disease in veterinary intensive care units in the United Kingdom. J Vet Emerg Crit Care 2016. 26(3): 419–427. Remember as always that what I don’t tend to do in these podcasts is to provide an in-depth evidence-based appraisal of the papers I mention. So I continue to encourage you to get in touch for copies of the papers if you do not have access to JVECC and to read and critique the papers yourself. Don’t just take what the abstract says or indeed what I say here at face value! Click Here For Your FREE Copy of a Transcript of This Episode For SHOW NOTES for this episode click here.
