86 | How to ACTUALLY use your skills when caring for dogs with IMPA


Listen Later

When I worked in general practice, I had no idea IMPA was even a thing. Until I started in referral as a brand new medicine nurse, and suddenly had a very lame, very pyrexic black labrador to care for. I was completely confused why we were seeing a lameness case - until we tapped the joints, found inflammation, and I learned just how much damage the immune system can do.

My patient needed a LOT of nursing - recumbency management, potent analgesia and a lot of supportive care. And through looking after him, I learned just how vital nurses are in managing this condition.

In today’s episode, we’ll cover:

  • What IMPA is and how it develops

  • The signs we tend to see in patients with it

  • How we accurately diagnose and differentiate IMPA

  • How we successfully treat and manage it

  • The skills we can use to support these patients - both in the hospital, and long-term.

So if you’re ready to do more to support your IMPA patients, episode 86 has got you covered.
