In the July open access episode of Chattering With iCatCare, Yaiza Gómez-Mejías is joined once again by feline specialist Nicki Reed to continue navigating the high-pressure world of feline medical emergencies. This second part shifts focus towards managing other challenging, high-stakes medical crises frequently encountered in general practice.

They explore how to optimise positioning for the seizuring patient, why certain clinical markers can predict severe hyperkalemia in blocked cats before catheterisation, and how to spot the elusive signs of antifreeze toxicity. Nicki also breaks down the unique challenges of managing euglycaemic DKA following the rise of SGLT2 inhibitors and shares essential steps for making emergency referral transport as safe as possible.
