To kick start the return of the RVC Clinical podcast we speak to Karen Humm, Lecturer in Emergency and Critical Care here at the RVC. Karen was last heard here when she spoke to Shailen about this disease in number 23 of the podcast, two years ago now.

As with most of the diseases we treat, prevention is far better than cure. There has been a paper published earlier in the year by groups at Bristol and Swansea University (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26830203) that shows the prevalence can change dramatically depending upon your location. What is it like in your area?

If you have any comments about this podcast, please get in touch (email [email protected]; tweet @RoyalVetCollege using #rvcpod; or use the RVC facebook page). We would greatly appreciate your time to rate us on iTunes and write a review.
